The brilliant @MattOBranain was arrested under the UK Terrorism Act for using a microphone.

He doesn’t say anything in support of any proscribed organisation. He just simply speaks into a microphone for a few seconds.

This is the @metpoliceuk under @ShabanaMahmood’s rule.

Fuming at the ref for a goal kick decision that was 100% a goal kick. It's going to be a long season.

“I’m a member of Palestine Action, and I encourage you to join me.”

Hundreds have gathered at a @DefendOurJuries demonstration outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court to oppose the ban on Palestine Action and call for an end to the genocide of Palestinians. Mass arrests have taken place, with many elderly supporters among those detained.

This Blairite ghoul (repackaged as “man of the people” because Britain’s political establishment is so degraded) carrying on the tradition of his mentor: attacking the working class, cutting benefits and kowtowing to the market, while backing war to the hilt

🇵🇪 One day after being inaugurated as Peru’s first female president, Keiko Fujimori has declared a state of exception, dramatically expanding the powers of the military and security services.

Drop Site contributor Joseph Bouchard writes that the move makes Peru the latest Latin American country to impose full or restricted emergency rule in the name of fighting narco-trafficking, a rationale Washington has repeatedly used to justify intervention and expanded security cooperation across the region.

Fujimori’s decision follows years of pressure from the US and its right-wing Latin American allies for a harsher crackdown on crime, despite Peru’s comparatively low homicide and violent crime rates. Lima, Callao, border regions, and the VRAEM are expected to become the main focus of the operations.

She took office after winning by a razor-thin margin, following three consecutive presidential defeats, in a deeply polarized country where resistance to her radical agenda is already mounting. The state of exception could give her broad latitude to suppress dissent while limiting the ability of Peru’s powerful but divided Congress to rein her in.

The measure also extends the authority of the armed forces and security apparatus, which experts say are already among the country’s dominant political actors. Under President Dina Boluarte, the military was deployed against protesters and used to carry out massacres, including at the National University of San Marcos in Lima.

Fujimori, who was married to an American, holds US citizenship, and studied at American universities, has also promised to confront China’s growing influence in Peru while granting preferential diplomatic treatment to Washington. She is expected to join Trump’s Shield of the Americas, a political-military coalition that has become a pillar of support for US-aligned governments across Latin America.

One of her first diplomatic appointments was Carlos Espá as foreign minister. Espá previously worked at the US Embassy in Lima. Fujimori is also expected to expand military operations against suspected drug cartels and potentially radical left-wing groups. She has already placed the military, rather than the police, in charge of the fight against crime.

Her father Alberto Fujimori was democratically elected before seizing control of the country through a self-coup. His war against the Shining Path and MRTA unfolded amid the deaths of nearly 70,000 people, repeated massacres of civilians and opposition figures, and the effective suspension of democracy.

NEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court.

As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

I urge the UK not to disproportionately transform ordinary criminal damage into offences with a "terrorist connection", particularly after convictions have occurred and the jury and defendants were not previously informed https://t.co/kOtbwo9YmX

[Kit Klarenberg @KitKlarenberg]

🧵: Kinda flying under 's radar as it's the summer, but Britain is now formally preparing for war. The Labour party's highest levels have been getting derangedly hawkish advice for years to "defeat Russia" in Ukraine and prepare accordingly. Now here we are. This is very serious.

Crazy FIFA plan to sell stake in the Football World Cup to private equity firm founded by Joshua Kushner, the brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared.

It is about money and bungs, nothing to do with supporters.

Get rid of FIFA leaders.

Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide.

Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists.

What kind of dystopian world are we living in? This absurdity must end. De-proscribe Palestine Action, now.

A leading human rights barrister successfully defended pro-Palestine activists. Now, he is facing prosecution for contempt of court.

This case should terrify anyone who cares about the independence & integrity of the judicial system.

Israel’s largest arms firms angrily refused to answer questions from independent media at an arms fair in England on Monday.

They had been invited to the Farnborough International Airshow despite being required by French authorities to cover their stands in black drapes at the Paris airshow last year.

One company at Farnborough, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), even threatened to report journalists to police for asking questions about its role in the Gaza genocide.

The idea that Britain has stayed out of Trump’s war on Iran is a political and media class lie.
