🚨 Workers at Legal 500 publisher LegalEase are taking strike action over low pay
Dozens of editorial, research and publishing staff at the London-based company are walking out after Legalease failed to improve its pay offer, leaving workers with no choice but to take industrial action.
These are the workers behind The Legal 500 – the acclaimed industry guide that ranks law firms, lawyers and barristers around the world.
Despite working in London and producing a major global publication, their pay does not reflect the value of their work.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “These workers are chronically underpaid. This is a profitable company and can afford a much better offer.”
Legalease needs to get back around the negotiating table and make a fair offer to its workers.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.
Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.
Please do keep sharing!

Support the Hunger Strikers!
The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine.
They are now close to dying and the British state does not care.
As Irish people we know hunger strikes. We know British oppression.
We know colonialism.
Stand up - Take Action 🇵🇸
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
Shocking how much weight Khaled has lost.
Medics like him need to feed themselves and their families AND save lives. Supporting medics’ fundraisers is a way of protesting the genocide. The smallest donation and every retweet and quote makes a difference. Donate and share
At midnight, Palestine Action will be proscribed under the Terrorism Act.
Their real “crime”? Exposing the UK’s role in arming Israel’s genocide.
This is a dark day for our democracy.
Criminalising non-violent resistance won’t silence the truth.
We are all Palestine Action 🇵🇸

every airport, every hospital, every school. over 186,000 people dead. 44% of them children. playing soccer, enjoying moments of peace, smiling and laughing. yet ultimately awaiting their inescapable death. this is the Holocaust.
please never forget that before a single hostage was taken on 10/7, israel was holding and continues to hold thousands of palestinians captive without any valid cause or charge
James Baldwin: "I’m not anti-Semitic at all, but I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction."
Literally bombing a tent with clearly identified BBC and AP journalists taking cover WHILE a WHO delegation is there. I don't think there is a clearer message then "we will keep doing this and the intl community can't stop us."
Gaza is now flooded due to Israel shutting down the sewage system.
We are witnessing yet another phase of this genocide. Starvation, infection, and diseases.
Just because you've stopped talking about it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
