PERSONAL STATEMENT:

6 years ago my partner of 40 years was diagnosed with early onset dementia. She had to give up work, although she was able to maintain a level of independence for a time. This left me able to lead PSC in its response to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. However her condition has deteriorated and I am no longer able to give the full time I need to the role of PSC Director. That job is too important to be done by someone who cannot devote the time required to fulfil its responsibilities in full. With sadness I have made the decision to resign.
As many of you know, I am appealing against the outrageous conviction I received alongside Chris Nineham of Stop the War Coalition for leading the peaceful protest on January 18th 2024. The date for our appeal was confirmed yesterday as being December 14th. I will ensure that I am able to devote the time required to enable a successful appeal, and PSC will continue to fully support that process.
I'm proud of the work that PSC - through its outstanding staff team and network of now over 100 branches - has done to build the campaign for Palestinian rights in the UK, in the past 10 years, becoming Europe's largest Palestine solidarity organisation.

The movement for Palestinian liberation has been and will remain the cause of my life, and I hope and intend to be able to continue to remain active in support of it. However right now, my priority has to be my family alongside my court appeal.

If you don’t see what’s happening here, if you still think there is zero media bias against the Left, and no smear campaign going on against the Greens, you are completely deluded.

The man arrested was a Reform voter.

Now here's a thought.......
It is local council elections
Reform are in charge of 12 councils
Some 75 plus councillors have resigned / defected / been removed

- Staffordshire has had 3 leaders in a year due to allegations of racism
- Kent the 'flagship' has lost 9 councillors
- George Finch scraped through a no confidence vote by a single vote 24-25 in Warwickshire
- Jo Monk lost a no confidence vote 10-15 in Worcestershire

Why are the various media outlets not tearing the Reform council record apart and asking obvious questions of Farage . Tice and Co.

This is Reform in action and the evidence thereof

[Mish Rahman @mish_rahman]

@shirleymush the candidates in my area are 3 deselected Tory cllrs, all cabinet portfolio holders part of the local Tory administration lol
They have moved wards as indys and are standing against me in the same ward.

[Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️‍⚧️ @LeftieStats]

‼️BREAKING | Your Party's candidates for 2026 include three councillors who were Conservative members as recently as January 2026

Gaz Ali, Amo Hussain, Izzy Hussain all sat as Tories on Walsall Council until Jan '26. Now backed by Corbyn.

It's important that people like Rory say this, the reality is unless more white politicians speak up the conversation is very easy to ignore, they can't leave it to just black and brown people or to Muslims to fight.
The AFD in Germany, Reform in the UK, the Front National in France, they're all part of the same rise of the far right across Europe.
We all need to stand united!

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us.

When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens.

Absolute bombshell. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich casually admits on live radio that the military campaign in Lebanon is about changing Israel's borders and expanding their territory up to the Litani River. The self defense narrative is completely dead.

[Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸 @jacksonhinkle]

🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧 BREAKING: ISRAEL BOMBED an INTEREST-FREE credit nonprofit financial institution in Lebanon.

The institution operates under Islamic finance principles that prohibit interest (riba).

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon.

Civilians can’t flee.
Ambulances can’t reach the wounded.
Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies.

This is intentional.
This is a crime against humanity.

[Matthew Broadley @MattWBroadley]

@helensclegel @wesstreeting Similar os happening in Lewisham.

[Matthew Broadley @MattWBroadley]

@GoodwinMJ We saw your tears at the count. I think what we are seeing is the biggest man-baby tantrum since Trump lost to Biden.

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

Israel and the US have launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on a sovereign nation during ongoing diplomatic negotiations.

We should not allow the UK to be dragged into another American war.

We must do everything possible to stop this and uphold peace in the region.

[Matthew Broadley @MattWBroadley]

@BBCNewsnight "Family voting family voting"

Manchester Council say none of their agents saw this.

Yet we have silence about Reform voters filling out the ballot of their parents, and then boasting about it.

Perhaps we should talk about that?

[Mish Rahman @mish_rahman]

When I left the Labour Party I promised to be dedicated to removing Labour from power for a society that doesn't attack the most vulnerable, but empowers them.

Congratulations @GreenPartyHan and every @TheGreenParty for showing everyone Hope and Change is possible.
