Kamna Patel resigns from Research England as equity, diversity and inclusion expert after being investigated for "extreme views":

"I cannot remain... and legitimate the bad decisions of RE and UKRI... there is an ongoing genocide... Since the Secretary of State’s claim these words constitute “extreme views”, the International Court of Justice concluded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza is a plausible risk... you have (been) played." 🔥

#GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics

EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.

@pvonhellermannn And Luke Akehurst is standing as a candidate.... I can't deal with this any more and finally resigned

@pvonhellermannn I think Starmer will not last because the situation in this country is incredibly dire and Labour has zero ideas. Nothing.

I think within 18 months this will become unbearable and the whole country will see how pathetic this leader is. He will be forced out.

I wanted to stay to fight for a socialist candidate after him but I see no chance of this happening any more. I only hope a new socialist party can challenge them because we are in desperate times now.

I dont like George Galloway but i am astonished that Hope Not Hate are making him a key target to unseat. He says some shitty things and is a climate denier. But he is literally one of the few people standing up to people in parliament standing up for women and children being bombed while they are sleeping in tents, being starved and then tortured in prisons. Astonishing and depressing. @palestine

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), a London-based legal group, has submitted a complaint to Scotland Yard’s War Crimes Team accusing Israel of using “‘starvation as a weapon of war” and “willfully causing great suffering to Palestinians during its war on Gaza”. It named four British government ministers for “alleged complicity and criminal responsibility in Israeli war crimes”.

@FrankFrank @Lassielmr @palestine I trust that the ICC know their shit, probably more than you, unless you are an expert in international law (you don't appear to be)

@FrankFrank @Lassielmr @palestine I think the ICC know about the Rome Statute

@Alexlee@sciences.social avatar

@FrankFrank @Lassielmr @palestine saying "others are allowed to do genocide why are they picking on us" isnt a defence. Its suggesting you understand israel is doing genocide and then defending it with whataboutery.

While i think its important to engage with people we/I dont agree with, im not willing to engage with people who are aware that a gecocide is taking pace but stil defend it. You are blocked.

Turns out nuclear power is a lot more expensive than renewable power.

https://reneweconomy.com.au/nuclear-option-costs-six-times-more-than-renewables-study-finds/

Alexlee,
@Alexlee@sciences.social avatar

@billbennett I totally 100% agree nuclear is insanely expensive, often dangerous, unsustainable and leaves a massive problem of radioactive waste. However, as Brett Christophers says in The Price is Wrong about energy - renewable energy generation is cheap - but distribution is expensive and rarely factored in. Renewables require redesigning the grid to transport from and to different places that are often quite remote. So needs public investment in distribution to take advantage of cheap prices

UC Workers Are Poised to Strike for Palestine and for Free Speech

In the University of California system, the union representing 48,000 grad students and other academic workers is about to strike in protest of repression of campus protests. It’s a watershed for labor and for the Palestine solidarity movement.

The Murdoch press is pursuing elected representatives of the Greens who speak up against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, citing the supposed concerns of UK pro-Israel groups offended by criticisms of Israel and of Israeli influence in UK politics.

@palestine the other protest was against China's banning of Falun Gong, a bizarre ban given that Falun Gong is mostly a set of exercises like tai chi and not exactly a major threat...

Never forgive the Guardian for their deliberate misrepresentation of antisemitism, not only helping enable the current genocide but also destroying the reputation of one of the few leaders that might have actually worked towards as solution @palestine

Informative, moving, galvanising Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (#PSC) event here in Eastbourne last night. In a packed room of over 100 old and young, we heard Yara Hawari’s brilliant analysis from West Bank and Andrew Feinstein powerfully talk about apartheid and the pivotal, corrupting influence of the global arms trade on the world order and Western leaders.

As Yara said: “this is a moment of clarity”.

Wonderful to have this moment together, with your neighbours. #Gaza 1/6
