Today’s ruling to uphold the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action is a travesty of justice.
One by one, the very foundations of our democracy are being destroyed — all to oil the wheels of British complicity in genocide.
Our government has participated in the mass murder of Palestinians. That is the real crime, and we must bring about justice.
In Belfast..
- We saw pogroms - targeting black and brown people
- These are riots not protests
- It’s criminal acts not an expression of legitimate concerns
- These are student nurses presumably doing NHS placements
Language matters: stop sanitising what we are witnessing.

Today at #PMQs I raised the 32 dodgy UK ‘charities’ who’ve sent almost £30m to illegal Israeli settlements.
Constituents will be appalled that they, the taxpayer, have likely subsidised this by over £5m.
Why is @ChtyCommission asleep at the wheel when their job is to stop this?
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s message to the court today as relayed by his attorney:
“I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”
You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.
Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.
It’s begun: The Great Rewriting of History by the politicians, journalists, media commentators who stayed quiet over Gaza to keep climbing the greasy pole - while a handful of us who spoke-up were smeared, abused, or fired.
As @Hamza_a96 says, don’t let them do it:
NEW: Colombian private military contractors, apparently hired by a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based company, transited through UAE military bases before being deployed to Sudan to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
This is further evidence indicating that the UAE is assisting or otherwise substantially contributing to the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commit war crimes.

If this is how they treat Europeans under the full glare of the media spotlight, can you imagine how they brutalise Palestinians who are in their jails - some of them children - who are hidden away from cameras.
At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said:
"It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)"
"It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country"
"It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority"
If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong.
Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.
They wiped out medical workers in Gaza. Now they're wiping out medical workers in Lebanon. And much of the Western media doesn't appear to consider it worthy of headline news.
I called for time for serious discussion, no precipitous coup & fully democratic process if leadership election.Instead Wes Streeting has launched coup for fear of a democratic process & whilst candidates are blocked. Handing leadership to Mandelson’s protege is gift to Reform
In this paper, we proposed a theoretical explanation: musical training may only benefit cognition once rhythmic abilities cross a critical threshold. https://t.co/A2sCTMB8P8
