Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza.
Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction.
No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.
This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights.
Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.
Manchester airport man assaults staff and shouts homophobic slurs as is denied boarding for being intoxicated. Easy jet Manchester to Ibiza delayed from taking off.
Terrible take. Watch the game and see who is it fault. Bar Declan and maybe the two CBs and Ezes cameo the rest were all shit. Can’t single out one player because it fits your agenda. Look at the rest of the team who dropped stinkers.
Any game in which we start Gyokeres is a game we are planning to lose.
For about 10 games now, you can't remember one moment of quality from him.
It is hard to win anything when your striker is just standing there.
The dream scenario. Ange has already been appointed, but for morale reasons, they are waiting until the Liverpool loss to announce it.
It gets announced to distract from the result. Tottenham fans around the world are in awe. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sells out ahead of the Champions League game.
3 goal deficit. Only one came man can do it. Audere est facere.
“I’m loving Big Ange instead” echoing around the stadium. The celebrity supporters like Tom Holland, Adele, Lil Wayne, AJ Tracey all in the stands.
Kick off.
We witness prime Ange Ball, in a do or die manner. Djed Spence finding his best form finally being allowed to play his natural game, inverting, and Porro returning to his early 23/24 form.
Minute 2, Solanke misses a tap in from a corner, and Oblak plays a long ball. Alvarez is through on goal. Or is he!? Micky Van De Ven comes back from the opposition box and puts one of the best recovery tackles the Champions League has ever seen. HE IS BACK!
Everyone else is still up, and Vicario rushes out to mop up Van De Ven’s challenge, he plays it long, and is successful.
Solanke flicks it onto Cristian Romero, who is still in the box. 1-0.
The stadium ERUPTS! 2 goal deficit with 88 minutes to play. The camera pans to Tom Holland and Zendaya celebrating. But no celebrating from the captain, as he grabs the ball and rushes back to the halfway line.
Atletico simply cannot get the ball. For the next 43 minutes, Tottenham dominate the ball. 82% possession.
Until the last kick before half time. Xavi Simons receives the ball surrounded by 3 players, and he turns away from all of them, and plays through Mathys Tel who is making a wide run.
Tel fires in a potent cross, to find Kolo Muani at the back post.
2-0.
Half time.
At half time, Ange gives one of his iconic speeches, and gives a flashback to his Europa run, how they have came back from much worse.
1st minute of the half, GOAL! Pape Matar Sarr from the edge of the box!
3-0. Atletico Madrid are shaking.
But, that would not be enough. It goes to extra time.
119th minute. Micky Van De Ven gets cramp, right before a set piece. He has to come off.
Do Tottenham risk conceding on the counter? Atletico have 3 bodies forward.
No. Audere est facere.
Ju’nai Byfield, the man who comes on. Corner taken by Pedro Porro.
GOAL!!!!!!!! IT FINDS THE HEAD OF JU’NAI BYFIELD, WHO FINISHES OFF ONE OF THE GREATEST COMEBACKS IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HISTORY!
The stadium erupts. But no crazy celebration from Ange. Just a pump of the fist, and hug to Byfield at full time.
He knows the job isn’t finished. He tells the team to turn attention to Forest on the weekend.
Nottingham Forest comes. Into added time, 0-0. 76% possession, 3.43xG, 0 goals. Articles start coming out before the game even finishes, saying Ange Postecoglou’s going to drag Tottenham into a relegation battle.
That is until the last kick of the game. Forest have 11 men in their box. The final kick of the game.
Pedro Porro takes one of his long shots, as a last minute effort.
The ball hits Morgan Gibbs White….
…. INTO HIS OWN NET! GOAL! TOTTENHAM HAVE GOT A CRUCIAL 3 POINTS!
The camera pans to Marinakis. Then Ange, celebrating the most he has in his career. He does a pitch invasion.
“I’m Loving Big Ange Instead” plays after the game.
The Government and the people of Pakistan join the people of Iran in their hour of grief and sorrow and extend the most sincere condolences on the martyrdom of His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Ali
Khamenei.
Pakistan also expresses concern over violation of the norms of international law. It is an age old convention that the Heads of State/Government should not be targeted.
We pray for the departed soul. May Allah Almighty grant patience and strength to the Iranian people to bear this irreparable loss.
200,000 blue haired lefties with no feet in the real world. Probs will get a few seats at the next GE, but that is the ceiling of a party that lives in fantasy land.
This is a terrible take. Farage spends time a lot of time in the States. I don’t like Starmer or Labour, but the PM’s role requires going abroad, Farage’s doesn’t.
Nigel Farage was out campaigning in Gorton & Denton.
Keir Starmer is in Beijing.
We certainly need a new Prime Minister who doesn’t prioritise China over Britain.
I have never once heard Zarah talk about her constituency, Coventry. Too busy talking about Palestine, hunger strikes or Trump. Honestly give a platform to your constituents grievances, not foreign policy, the former, is what you are paid to do.
Andy Burnham played a key role in privatising our NHS while serving as Health Secretary.
Andy Burnham voted for the 2003 Iraq War — an illegal invasion that led to the deaths of over a million Iraqis.
Andy Burnham was a member of Labour Friends of Israel, an apartheid state that has committed genocide against the Palestinian people.
Gorton and Denton deserves a genuinely socialist MP — one who doesn’t vote for illegal wars, stands in solidarity with Palestine and is proudly anti-Zionist.
