Video: Rayner flees campaigners’ Gaza challenge
No answer for locals demanding answers over Labour’s complicity in genocide
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has run away from locals challenging her over her party’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
While out campaigning, Rayner ran into a group shouting – via loudhailer – ‘shame on you’ and fled as fast as she could get into her car and escape:
Rayner’s decision to be out campaigning in the first place may well be driven by insecurity: she has only a 4,263 majority in a town with a Muslim population of around 9,000. Labour’s support among Muslims has collapsed because of the regime’s insistence that Israel has a ‘right’ to conduct it’s mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians and it’s starvation blockade of over two million people, half of whom are children.

‘Cold, horrible’ Starmer fails to impress even ‘select’ audience after fleeing Gaza protest
‘Equality’ policy launch flops after even hand-picked audience finds him jingoistic and unpleasant
‘Cold and horrible’ – and spineless – Starmer at his ‘jingoistic’ policy launch
Keir Starmer delivered his latest policy con to a hand-picked audience and no press on Monday – after cancelling his main launch because of a planned pro-Palestinian protest, outside the original Tottenham venue, against his support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza – and it flopped.
According to Sky’s Serena Barker-Singh, even though Labour had winnowed down the audience to a ‘select’ few and excluded all the media, the ‘favoured’ attendees found Starmer ‘cold and horrible’ and his presentation ‘jingoistic’, with ‘union jacks everywhere’.
Starmer becomes less popular the more people see of him and it seems his advisers recognise that – but even hiding him from all but a few true believers doesn’t work, because they find themselves disliking him too.
And with Starmer’s record of breaking every promise, his ‘policy’ to supposedly improve equality is as meaningless as the fetid air it takes to speak it.

Labour cancels Starmer/Lammy event rather than face Gaza protest
Yet again ‘Labour’ leadership unwilling to face anger of voters
Keir Starmer and Shadow Home Secretary David Lammy appear to be running scared yet again of the anger of protesters demanding a halt to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The pair were due to appear in Tottenham this afternoon for a policy announcement, but Skwawkbox understands that the press conference has now been cancelled after details of the venue and meeting time leaked and human rights activists planned to gather at the event to protest at Starmer’s support for Israel’s mass murder of Palestinian civilians.
The cancellation is one of a number of events abandoned by Labour rather than face the outrage of those who simply want an end to the slaughter. Keir Starmer has still not even mentioned the International Court of Justice findings against Israel in the genocide case brought by South Africa, such is his inability to justify his stance or face the reality of Israel’s war crimes, though he has used his social media to post repeatedly about business and football.
