The Labour Government's craven attempt to suck up to Trump has devastating consequences.
The UK has agreed to pay 25% more for new medicines - and thousands of lives could be lost as a result.
End the so-called 'special relationship' and build bridges with our allies.
The difference between Gaza, Lebanon, and Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.
We have a choice. We either become the generation that stopped two genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, or we become the generation that allowed millions of people to be killed watching it live.
Calling every Palestinian in Gaza “Hamas” has normalized every killing, rape, torture and act of destruction. Forgive us, Marwa, Motaz, Montaser,& the dozens of thousands already lost -along with the millions still trapped in this genocide- for being so late, slow, and complicit.
Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
That people trying to stop genocide are sentenced as terrorists is a hideous injustice.
But remember these words, too.
This country is headed to naked right-wing authoritarian rule.
This precedent will be used to lock up dissidents.
You've been warned.
Remember it.
Front page of The Times: Andy Burnham’s first big announcement about his approach to leading the country is that he would be willing to cut benefits to fund the defence budget, with the usual ‘rights and responsibilities’ fluff about more work opportunities. This terrifies me.
You can vehemently disagree with Palestine Action activists goals, whilst simultaneously be horrified a judge can decide AFTER a conviction if it was terrorism related amd double a sentence.
Being able to class an offense as terrorism AFTER conviction without charging them with terrorism should bother everyone.
Any protest action that is now determined as trying to "change government policy" can have this applied.
So today it's Palestine Action, but next it'll be immigration protests, farmers protests, NHS, tax etc etc.
Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a £2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! 🤥
Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?
I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”
It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.
It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister.
It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage.
Others seem to be met with silence.
We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes.
All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.
Ten years on from Brexit there are still no rules to prevent lies in election ads.
We’ve tabled amendments to stop election ads like the infamous Brexit bus misleading voters again.
Email your MP and ask them to sponsor them.
It takes 1 minute.

This is SO incredibly important!
Imagine the world of pain we could have avoided if this had been in place before
Please do this now - takes seconds and could change everything!
Thank you x
@BacktheStrikes This is not a Green Party affiliated group. It was started by a straight woman and is being run by a straight man.
The irony of a straight man pretending to be a lesbian is apparently lost to them… that or they enjoy the mockery of talking over lesbians.
I need you to understand the power of language.
Notice how the IDF does not describe a 7-month-old baby by name, as a child, or even as a member of a family.
Instead, Baby Sam Fahed Abu Haikal and his relatives are referred to as “uninvolved individuals.”
This is textbook dehumanization. They want to normalize this abhorrent violence against Palestinians and label them all as “involved individuals” by default to justify exterminating them.
He was a baby.
Imagine if supermarkets existed to provide food to the community and not to make profit for shareholders
Imagine if housing were built to house the community and not to make profit
Imagine if healthcare was about healing the sick, not about profit
Imagine if utilities and transport were nationally owed and not for profit
Can you imagine how explosively the right would shit themselves if a group of Muslims were driving around London impersonating police officers and intimidating non-Muslims under the justification of countering Islamophobia? The shrieking about "Sharia law" would shatter glass.
