Claire Kerrison was arrested at 4:33am from her Brighton home for sending emails concerning 'israel's' genocide in Gaza to her MP Peter Kyle.
Four police officer raided her home on 17 June 2025. They seized her electronics. Held her for over eight hours with no one knowing where she was. Released her on strict bail. Charged her in late 2025 under the Communications Act.
The case dragged on for a full year. She faced multiple court hearings including not-guilty pleas.
The emails were described by those who read them as articulate and non-abusive— simply expressing horror at events in Gaza.
The man who triggered the police complaint? Her own constituency MP, Peter Kyle:
- Britain's trade minister responsible for arms exports to 'israel'.
- Long standing member and previous vice-chair of Labour Friends of 'israel'
Kyle has been accused of breaching the Ministerial Code by failing to declare his LFI membership in the official List of Ministerial Interests for 18 months despite the clear conflict.
The case was finally dismissed yesterday, with costs awarded to Claire Kerrison.
This is why British politicians who are paid/influenced by the 'israel' lobby must be banned from public office.

British legend Mike Higgins was arrested again outside yesterday’s Palestine Action court case, because he objects to genocide and believes in international law.
“In a sense, it doesn’t matter if we lost or won; this will help to build our movement and keep us strong.” 🎯
So let me get this straight
Putin - who disappears people, poisons people in foreign countries, intercepts planes to kidnap his enemies - sent a couple of Ukrainian lads round to arson Starmer’s property?
Stop. The. Bollocks.
The parliamentary debate on 22 June about Israeli influence on UK politics will take place with this as its backdrop: a government dominated by Israeli interests.
Any speaker in that debate should be required to state publicly whether they have taken money from Israeli sources.
I remember avidly watching Panorama and World in Action as a child and learning about what was happening in the world.
What happened? Panorama is now just another tool of state propaganda.
The BBC mournfully notes that only 30% of Brits now trust the news, the day after it told us Russia hired a couple of young Ukrainian male prostitutes to torch the PM's motor.
The BBC report that the man who organised the arson of Starmer related property was "Russian speaking".
They fail to report the evidence was he also spoke Ukrainian.
Almost every Ukrainian can speak Russian.
Very few Russians can speak Ukrainian.
Never forget the Lady Chief Justice isn't ignorant about the violent history of the suffragettes, she is betting on the public being ignorant and the press compliant.
Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."
The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.
Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.
The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.
After Palestine protest at Appeal Court, I went for a coffee in Pret, far up the road in The Strand
As I got my coffee, I turned to find myself surrounded by police. They demanded I show my placard & filmed it
My placard is not unlawful. This was intimidation. POLICE STATE!
Hard for me to exaggerate the intensity of the wails and the gnashing of teeth from Israeli "ideologues", from the hard right to the center left, who cannot believe "Trump's betrayal". It is impossible for Israelis to think of their actions as having consequences.
Signing this deal may be the most sensible thing Trump has ever done. Israel is an unwelcome albatross around his neck. He has never been in thrall to Israel and zionism. He has found Netanyahu to be a disrespectful destabilizer, an agent of harm to Trump's interest. Trump may change his mind every hour but that is part of the power dynamic of bullies. I do believe his mind is now made up.
There is no telling what horrors will come to pass in Lebanon and in Gaza as Israel is allowed to continue its genocide and ethnic cleansing. Still, on one front a taboo has been unthinkably breached. Israel has been told off. Israel has been called out. This might be for all the wrong reasons. It doesn't matter one bit.
You've heard it here countless times. Israel is corrupt and hollow. It is weak. Israel cannot go it alone (I wish I could translate the anguished cries of a few settler ideologues about the response we must be preparing, a response to shake up the world), Israel's gaslighting should and can be stopped. It is not inevitable. Israel must be brought to justice but Israel can and should be ridiculed mercilessly. Israel is the globe' s current hub of evil. Evil can also be pathetic.
Gaza has been a major factor behind voters leaving our party.
In one recent poll, 53% of former Labour voters said it was a decisive factor.
Why is this government willing to expend so much political capital to ensure weapons companies can keep arming Israel?
Among much utter mince uttered by the English Court of Appeal today.
Lady Chief Justice Carr said that the suffragettes were non-violent and did not plan any actions in secret.
Which is so ignorant of history I don't know where to start...
"In Vietnam, I didn't want the US to win. I don't want the US to win in Iran. I'm not America First, I'm Justice First. If it were switched and the Palestinians were doing to the Israelis what the Israelis are doing to them, I'm not pro-Palestinian". —Professor Norman Finkelstein
