Zarah Sultana, on #UKLabour under #Starmer.
"Here is a party that wants to impose cuts on some of the most marginalised people in our society in order to please investors. Here is a party that, for the first time in British history, is criminalising a non-violent activist group, using the most repressive parts of the state to protect the profit margins of arms manufacturers. If these aren’t red lines for you, then frankly you don’t have any."

🧵2/2: #women form the bulk of pensioners & women don't like to see #babies dying of hunger, gun shots or bombs unleashed by #genocide. #Starmer is a cynical imbecile who underestimates the power of women and I trust he will hopefully soon be caught out for #complicity & general hostility towards the people who he owes his mandate to (Go #ZarahSultana!). In the meantime, find creative ways to support a #FreePalestine, #Israel's legal accountability for its #warcrimes in #Gaza & UK #freespeech

🧵1/2: It's legally incomprehensible the #UK#SupremeCourt should have upheld the government's decision to outlaw #PalestineAction as a #terrorist organisation: it's unenforceable. I don't believe the chilling effect will work & the arrest of 25 citizens holding signs today proves it. There are too many people alienated by #Labour's hostile & #austerity policies who have a lot of time on their hands & nothing left to lose, incl. 1000s of #pensioners screwed over by the #winterfuel payment cuts
