@FCDOGovUK Reports say Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya faces torture after 555 days without charges in Israeli custody, and his life is at risk; urge @FCDOGovUK to act now for medical care, due process, and release. keep speaking up and sharing hope.
@AlboMP@SenatorWong@SenatorWong dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has suffered 555 days of torture, begging for assistance. His statement, "I don't see myself surviving," highlights the need for immediate action. Australia must use its power to help him and oppose these horrors.
@kajakallas@KajaKallas International law protects medical staff during conflict. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya remains detained without charge after 555 days. His injuries highlight a systemic failure to uphold human rights. Justice requires his immediate release.
Donald Trump is a bully.
US forces should not be using our UK bases and we shouldn't be dragged into Trump & Netanyahus illegal war.
@CarolineLucas speaking with such moral clarity on #BBCQT.
An illegal war waged by two countries the UK arms & supports
B52s launched from British soil. Israeli jets built with British parts
A UK economy still hooked on fossil fuels.
We must end support for the war, cut fossil fuel addiction & support families facing this price shock
Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
The UK government is desperately trying to hide this from you. They are literally putting up tarps on the fences of RAF Fairford so the public can't see the massive stockpile of US 2,000lb bombs being prepared to drop on Iran.
It's now unarguable that the war on Iran is one of the most blatant crimes of aggression in history.
You now have not 1 but 2 external participants of the US-Iran talks (Oman’s foreign minister and the UK's National Security Advisor) who confirm that the US and Israel attacked despite Iran effectively meeting US conditions for a deal - ensuring it could never build a nuclear weapon, permanently.
As per The Guardian article (https://t.co/1cQk0tPiX9), Jonathan Powell "believed the path remained open to a negotiated solution to the long-running issue of how Iran could reassure the US that it was not seeking a nuclear weapon," and "UK officials [...] were impressed that Iran was prepared for the deal to be permanent."
Concretely, this means the war wasn't a failure of diplomacy but a deliberate destruction of it.
And it also means that the US and Israel have irresponsibly plunged the entire world in an unprecedented energy crisis, affecting the livelihoods of billions of people worldwide, when it was completely avoidable.
It's beyond me how you can look at this and not conclude that the real threat all along wasn't Iran but the US-Israeli axis - they're the only parties at the table who wanted war and are making every person on the planet pay the price for it.
Extraordinarily, even the UK National Security Advisor is now basically saying this.
Something genuinely different happened in British politics today.
Zack Polanski gave his first major economic speech as Green Party leader and it wasn't the usual vague gestures you get from other party leaders. It was a diagnosis and a plan.
The diagnosis: privatisation, austerity and Brexit haven't just been bad policy choices, they've locked Britain into a structural trap. A "bond market doom loop" where financial markets constrain every government before it's even started.
The plan ("Zackonomics") is built around ending rip-off Britain for the people who actually keep this country running:
→ Freeze energy bills now (£8.4bn, funded by the windfall tax)
→ Cap rents
→ Nationalise water
→ Scrap Right to Buy
→ Forgive student debt
→ Rejoin the Customs Union and eventually the EU
Funded by making wealth pay its share: a wealth tax, equalising capital gains with income tax, and closing the loopholes that let the richest opt out.
Is every detail nailed down? No. But this is what it looks like when a party leader actually tries to match the scale of the problem. Britain's economic settlement is broken. Someone finally said it.

Spain has removed its ambassador to Israel and said that its embassy in Tel Aviv will now be led by a lower-ranked charge d’affaires, according to the official state gazette and Reuters.
The announcement follows prime minister Pedro Sánchez’s refusal to allow the US to use Spain’s military bases for the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran.
Ambassador Ana Salomon had a “turbulent mission” in Tel Aviv, the Diplomat In Spain website reported, with tensions rising after the start of the genocide in Gaza in 2023.
Among European countries, Spain’s socialist-led government has been an outlier in opposing Israel's aggression against Gaza and Iran.
In October last year, the Spanish parliament formally approved an arms embargo against Israel.
Israel's embassy in Spain is also run by a charge d'affaires. Israel summoned its ambassador last May to protest Spain's decision to recognise Palestine as a state.
“Ground incursion… continuing ground presence…ground operation… defensive manoeuvre…”
The BBC trying every possible phrase just to avoid saying that Israel is illegally invading Lebanon.
This is a crash course in propaganda.
🚨BREAKING: Over 60 MPs have backed my new parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel.
After the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli government is moving to annex the West Bank.
Only sanctions – on arms, trade, the economy & Israeli officials – can stop these war crimes.
A Gaza doctor breaks down after realizing the patient he had treated for five years died on the operating table—after he was forced to perform an amputation without anesthesia due to Israel blocking medical supplies during the genocide. 💔
