If Jason Arday were a white middle-class academic, he would not have been hounded by the British press in the way he was. My thoughts are with his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

… with Israel’s system of occupation, apartheid and genocide? Liverpool is more than a business, it’s a community. Supporters have a voice. We’ve used it before: against the Super League, against ticket price hikes and against owners who forgot what this club stands for. We MUST use it again.

So ask yourself: what does it mean when a club built on solidarity - a club that stood with the Hillsborough families against the establishment, that has always claimed to stand with the oppressed, that prides itself on being different - welcomes investment from a man whose empire is entwined ...

While Israel carries out a genocide against the Palestinian people, Amazon’s technology helps underpin the infrastructure that makes it possible. And now that fortune is buying its way into Anfield.

Those concerns are real. But there is something even darker at the heart of this deal. Amazon is a central partner in Project Nimbus, providing cloud and AI services to the Israeli state.

Sickened by the news that Jeff Bezos’ consortium has bought roughly a third of Liverpool Football Club. Many fans have rightly focused on Amazon’s anti-union practices, its treatment of workers, and the fear that Liverpool will become just another asset in a billionaire’s portfolio.

And the Prime Minister’s response? Talking about banning disposable BBQs instead of taking on the fossil fuel giants driving the crisis, while entertaining more North Sea oil and gas. The climate emergency is here. Act like it and DO SOMETHING NOW!

The scenes coming out of Stourbridge are horrific. Homes engulfed in flames, families displaced, and firefighters risking their lives on the hottest day of the year. This is not a distant threat. This is climate breakdown happening right here, right now, already impacting communities across the UK.

The Premier League returns this month. As a lifelong Red, I’ve written to Liverpool FC about links to six sponsors implicated in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians. The club has not yet responded. Liverpool must answer supporters and end complicity in apartheid and genocide.

On Friday, I held a surgery at St Anne’s Church, helping constituents with issues ranging from housing and university to consular cases and divestment from arms companies. If you need support, my office is always here to help. Feel free to get in touch (email address in bio) 😊

Life Support is one of the most important documentaries you’ll see this year. Proud to have joined the Q&A after the Birmingham screening alongside director Daniele Rugo, whose work documents the testimony of doctors who witnessed genocide in Gaza firsthand.

The violence must end. Communications must be restored, independent investigations allowed, and those responsible for any human rights abuses held to account.

Solidarity with the people of Kashmir 💚 Reports and video footage of Pakistani security forces using lethal force against protesters in Jammu and Kashmir are deeply disturbing. At least 30 people are reported killed, with many more injured, amid a communications blackout.

You forgot #6: Continuing to supply UK arms to the apartheid state of Israel as it commits genocide against the Palestinian people.

Day 1 of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister and he is still refusing to call the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza what it is: a genocide.

Congratulations Spain! 🇪🇸🇵🇸

¡Esta noche todos somos españoles! 💃🏾🇪🇸

Absolutely gutted. The game was ours to win. England shouldn’t have parked the bus from 60 minutes. 60 years of hurt… we’ll go again! 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

And of course, never forget the shameful and sinister role the S*n played. Never, ever buy the S*n.
