the world is burning and the oppressed and exploited can put out the fire - freedom is only by our own hands, our own design

Is anyone shocked by this?

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

This is Sheikh Farouk Ramadan.

Yesterday afternoon, he and his family were attacked by settler-terrorists on their own land. Farouk managed to disarm one of the attackers. He took the settler's rifle and shot and killed two terrorists in a clear act of self-defence.

In response, Israeli soldiers murdered him and three of his family members. Israeli government and media portrays him as the terrorist, and the actual terrorists as the victims.

Don't let them push this narrative. Farouk had the full legal and moral right to resist against the genocidal terrorists who invaded his land.

The Times are running a hit piece on me over a Green Party motion opposing sanctions on Iran and some tweets of mine. They contacted my employer and asked for my response. @thetimes

I’m publishing my statement here so people can read my position and principles behind it in full.

"Watchdog accused of ‘giving away’ billions of litres of spring water to foreign bottling giants."

Yep the EA are up to their old tricks again. The EA are charging Coca-Cola £6,070 a year to abstract water from the north of England which Coca-Cola then sells for £30 million.

Did I mention that according to the EA by 2050 in England we will need to find another 5 billion litres of water per day just to keep our taps running and to try and save our chalk streams.

What a hoax of a regulator.

Arresting pensioners for opposing genocide is your main legacy.

Keir Starmer's most memorable speech.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

How can we hope he has a serious plan for ending "the terrible suffering of people in Gaza" when he can't even bring himself to name Israel as the genocidal aggressor causing the suffering?

We need concrete action:a full arms embargo & an end to trade with illegal settlements.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Just to prove I'm consistent, here I am seven years ago refusing to answer questions by C4's Matt Frei about millionaire Arron Banks spending nearly £500k to fund my lavish lifestyle, while I march down the street with my mate the traitor Nathan Gill.

Just 5 years after being fined £90 million for illegally dumping sewage of the Kent coast Southern Water have; just been fined £7m after illegally dumping sewage off Kent coast.

That's the 106 offence in the last 15 years. Time to put an end to the corruption.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity.

Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts.

Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities.

The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement
🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements

To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?

I’m taking a motion to Green Party national conference opposing proscription and sanctions against Iran. Peace comes through diplomacy, not escalation. The Green voice on this has been far too quiet

It's been revealed that Nigel Farage turned down taxpayer-funded security last year, including a bodyguard, a car, and a trained driver.

He had already been getting taxpayer-funded security, but believed it had been downgraded.

The package would have given him the same level of security as Kemi Badenoch and some senior Cabinet ministers.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

Andy Burnham has just voted in favour of Shabana Mahmood's Immigration and Asylum Act, an Act opposed by 80 Labour MPs colleagues and slammed by refugee groups and Alf Dubs himself. It will make successful asylum seekers in this country more marginal and vulnerable. A pitiful capitulation to the moral panics of the far-right.

THE WHISTLEBLOWER WHO WENT TO PRISON

Colin Wallace was a psychological warfare officer for British Army Intelligence in Belfast. In 1974 he wrote a memo telling his superiors that boys at Kincora Boys Home were being systematically abused and some were being supplied to prominent unionist figures. He wanted out of a dirty tricks operation called Clockwork Orange and he wanted something done about Kincora.

Nothing was done. The housemaster running the abuse, William McGrath, was already known to MI5. He led a loyalist paramilitary group called Tara and by multiple accounts he was an intelligence asset. MI5 monitored the abusers instead of stopping them.

Fellow intelligence officer Brian Gemmell later confirmed he was personally ordered by MI5 officer Ian Cameron to drop his own Kincora investigation in 1975.

Wallace kept pushing. He got sacked from his job in 1975. In 1980 he was convicted of manslaughter after a colleague's husband was killed. Evidence used against him at trial came partly from an anonymous American security source, according to a Home Office pathologist. He served 6 years. The conviction was quashed in 1996 once new forensic evidence emerged.

McGrath was eventually jailed in 1981 after the Irish Independent broke the Kincora story publicly, years after Wallace first raised the alarm internally. The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry under Sir Anthony Hart reported in 2017 and criticised MI5 for obstructing police and destroying Kincora files, while somehow finding no fault in the actual cover up. Convenient.

In 2020 it emerged that police records on Kincora from 1980 to 1983 had been destroyed right around the time that inquiry was set up. In 2023 Wallace's own military service file went missing, the same year his lawyers filed a High Court case against the Ministry of Defence for negligence, misfeasance in public office and deceit. That case is still ongoing.

Fifty years and counting. A man tries to stop child abuse and gets convicted of murder for his trouble. The institutions responsible get to lose the paperwork and call it a filing error.

The Greens will take no lessons on racism from war criminal David Lammy.

A man who voted for the Iraq War that murdered a million Iraqis. Who voted for the war on Libya that resulted in 80,000 deaths and slave auctions in the streets of Tripoli. Who said Israel had a right to cut off food, water and electricity from Gaza, and armed a genocide that has led to the murder of more children and babies than any other conflict in modern history.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Brits who have served in the IDF and committed war crimes and murdered children go free.

Brits opposing genocide risk 14 years in prison.

Disgraceful Britain.
