Britons don’t want any part of Trump’s war fixation – the sooner Labour realises that the better | Owen Jones Kowtowing to US foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan had disastrous consequences. Why are leaders making the same mistake again, asks Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Our elites brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Gaza.

At what point do we ask if they are a death cult?

ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Imagine an Iranian bomb had slaughtered 165 Israeli school kids.

Imagine the response of the Western media and politicians.

And note the lack of outrage and disgust here.

I missed this when he said it.

But Jake Berry repeated the lie that an Israeli baby was cooked in an oven on 7th October.

That is a grotesque lie. He shows more anger about the FICTIONAL killing of babies than the mass slaughter of actual real babies by Israel.

This is an illegal war of aggression.

Dozens of Iranian children have been massacred by the US and Israel on its first day.

If the cheerleaders of this crime succeed, our world will descend into bloody chaos.

And it's all of his own making.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

I saw how the Greens channelled voters’ anger – and fused it with hope. That’s why they won in Gorton and Denton | Owen Jones Starmer called the byelection a battle for the nation’s soul. This result shows Labour has lost that – and I think it will lose much more, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The politics of hope are back.

The politics of fear are in crisis.

In Gorton and Denton, Muslims and non-Muslims chose to vote for a politics of hope.

After years of politicians blaming migrants and minorities for all our problems, Mancunians voted to face down the politics of hate.

In this unity, there is hope for our country.

A major part of the campaign against the Greens will be racism.

It means targeting and demonising Muslims.

Both Blairites and the right will whip up a race war if it means defeating the left.

We have to stand firm against this.

27.02.2026 08:26 πŸ‘ 475 πŸ” 73 πŸ’¬ 11 πŸ“Œ 4

A warning.

All the worst people in the country are now shitting themselves.

The mother of all campaigns is now going to be directed against the Green Party.

It will be an unrelenting smear campaign.

The Greens need to be ready for that - and so does everyone on the left.

The Labour Party must now be replaced.

Labour MPs currently sitting on vast majorities know they are not safe.

The Greens need to pick other candidates like Hannah Spencer - rooted, authentic, bright fighters for the majority against the elite.
