Despite Jared Kushner’s puffed up claims of brokering the Abraham Accords, it was clear that there was little public support in the Arab world for any nation to make peace with Israel while millions of Palestinians still live under Israeli military rule. https://t.co/ou5HsAJ7M1

#Greece | Policeman shot a 16 year old young man in Thessaloniki. And after this horrific incident, PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a €600 one-off payment to every single policeman. Sounds like rewarding police violence, right?

Things are getting really ugly here.

Here’s me in 2018 saying ‘Our Future Our Choice’ was an AstroTurf organisation whose aim was to wreck Labour’s polling lead. At the time liberals attacked me.

Now Will Dry, one of it’s co-founders, is an aide to Rishi Sunak. I’m sorry for being right.

#Belarus Maria Kalesnikava is in intensive care in Homiel. This information was confirmed to the lawyer in the hospital. Earlier, she was taken to a punishment cell despite concerns about her health. Political prisoners are left without access to medical assistance. Horrible

75 years ago, the UN passed the Partition Resolution.

Palestinians are still denied the right to self-determination enshrined in international law.

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we must renew our calls for a free & independent Palestine.

This is a legacy defining moment for Joe Biden. He is going down as one of the biggest disappointments in labor history.

Powerful Danish tugboat giant #Svitzer recently threatened to lock out 582 wharfies in 17 Australian ports to derail bargaining with the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) - a move that could have put the whole Australian economy at risk

The inhumane working conditions on the #WorldCup construction sites in Qatar have been making headlines for years, and yet little has changed. According to estimates, around 6,500 workers from South Asia had died by 2021. https://t.co/OOhc1NRZr5

“More than a decade of austerity and the soaring cost of living has pushed millions of workers into poverty. Starbucks must recognise a trade union and negotiate a fair deal with its workers!”

In September, I visited the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria. Some call the area a "desert within the desert", a place so saturated with salt, so dry, that few things grow.

To accompany my new Globetrotter piece, I want to share some photos from the trip.
