Update: The German government has denied issuing the submarine export license and seems to be contradicting the company. Lawyers continue to challenge German arms exports to Israel.

Scoop: Germany has apparently issued an export license for a submarine to Israel.

Today, the parent company of TKMS, supplier of corvettes and submarines to Israel, held its AGM and told shareholders that an export license for a submarine ordered by Israel has been issued. 1/6

A doctor kidnapped from a besieged hospital, tortured and held without charge for over 500 days, would surely be called a HOSTAGE.

Unless he’s Palestinian.

We are not-for-profit. Your donations fund our work.

We’re doing public service journalism, exposing the UK establishment.

We’re investigating UK support for Israel and Israel’s influence in Britain, among other work.

I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.

The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.

The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

There's a Genocide happening in Gaza.

Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action."

And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists

Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.

It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.

The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.

Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.

The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.

Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets.

We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead.

A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need.

That is what real security means.

[Ruth R @Ruth4Peace]

John Healey and NATO think we're stupid and don't realize that instead of looking at actual defence needs, they're just setting an arbitrary spending target.

I'm sure arms companies are more than happy to match any sky-high spending target in their pricing.

"Let's be clear on what John is asking for: cuts to schools and hospitals"

@PolitlcsUK Sidepoint, but anyone who calculates defence needs as a percentage of GDP is not a serious person.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

We already had our warning.

We had a national right-wing uprising / attempted pogrom in August 2024.

They tried to burn refugees alive.

They attacked shops, cars, mosques.

They attacked the homes of minorities, attacked people of colour in the street, dragged people from cars

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Far right pogroms targeting black and brown people and burning families out of their homes.

Between 2013 and 2021, Multinational Logistics Services (MLS) received more than $100 million in contracts to service US Navy vessels in Bahrain.

Its CEO, Frank Rafaraci, was later accused of bribing a Navy official overseeing aspects of the company's performance.

New Case 🚨 | The Bahrain Port Payoff Scheme

Corruption in the arms trade doesn't stop with weapons procurement.

Maintenance, servicing and sustainment contracts worth millions are also vulnerable to bribery, fraud and abuse. 👇
