This is where Kier Starmer (and before him Suella Braverman) lost their jobs: trying to repress the Palestine movement. But we will still be defending the right to protest long after Sir Keir is forcibly retired by his own MPs.

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

We wouldn't be in the place we're in this morning if the police had acted differently. The annual Nakba march is a landmark. We asked the Met for a route - by March they'd granted the political centre of London to Tommy Robinson

American bombs have set the Middle East on fire.

And even as Trump "negotiates" with Iran he is imposing a brutal seige on Cuba.

A growing coalition is forming to oppose this violent and predatory empire.

Join the National Demo -
Break With Trump!

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

“People in this country are fed up of war.”

At the Edinburgh Union, Sophie Johnson (@SophieJayJoe) of @stwscotland argues that NATO cannot solve the security challenges of the modern era.

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

Scots do not want the US using our airports for illegal wars of aggression in the Middle East.

Protestors are at Prestwick Airport today to demand US Airforce out our Airports !

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

Stop the War Scotland's @MccailColl:

"The idea that Britain hasn't been involved in the war up to this point is preposterous.

"As is the idea that the US distinguishes between offensive and defensive strikes."

[Chris Nineham @ChrisNineham]

Mine and Ben Jamal’s trial is over…

except for the verdict and sentencing!

This will take place on the morning of
1 April.

For now I just want to say a heartfelt thanks to the many people who have shown support in the 14 months since I was arrested last January 18.

✌️

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

Even as the US bombards Iran, it is threatening Cuba.

This is a predatory empire which has openly abandoned international law and the rules of war.

It's time to break with Trump!

The people of Scotland don't want our country used as a springboard for endless US wars.

Join the national demonstration: 11 April, Glasgow.

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

Scotland is being used to attack Iran now, not in the future.

This cannot wait. No more stalling - US troops out of Scotland now!
