I wrote an article in 2024 about how far the Israel lobby owns Wes Streeting

Andy Burnham was a member of Labour Friends of Israel for years, too

Britain is occupied. The lobby has the whole political class sewn up

We need a public inquiry now👇

BREAKING: A judge seeks to sentence four protestors as terrorists, even though they were only convicted of criminal damage, by a jury which was unaware of the terrorism sentence.

This could set a precedent of protestors facing one charge, but are later sentenced as terrorists.

BREAKING

Reporting restrictions on the so-called “terrorism connection” in the Filton retrial have been lifted.

For the first time in British history, a judge is seeking to sentence protestors as terrorists despite the jury convicting them only on criminal damage charges.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

In Britain, you can now be tried under terrorism legislation WITHOUT the jury knowing.

The zionist British state knows that a jury is more likely to convict on allegations like criminal damage alone.

Once the 'terrorism' connection is applied, your sentence becomes more severe.

BREAKING

“jury Equity”, Rajiv Menon has won his appeal.

Julian Assange: ‘Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies…populations don’t like wars, populations have to be fooled into wars.’

Now with the war on Iran, the media didn’t even bother with convincing lies, they just regurgitated the same debunked WMD playbook from 23 years ago with no care for whether the population believed it or not.

Such is now the power of the military-industrial complex and the oligarchy, where wars of aggression, where the elite class don’t even feel the need to bother with trying to convince the American people with even remotely believable lies.

🚨Wes Streeting is reportedly making his move to become Britain's next prime minister.

When asked whether Donald Trump's plans to strike civilian infrastructure in Iran would be a war crime, he said: "Not my judgment to make".

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

🚨BREAKING -- The Court of Appeal has ruled that Mr Justice Johnson had no jurisdiction to refer Palestine Action barrister Rajiv Menon KC for contempt of court proceedings.

These proceedings were brought against Menon after he reminded a jury earlier this year of its absolute right to acquit.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

🚨BREAKING -- Reporting restrictions have finally been lifted on the first Filton case, concerning a Palestine Action raid on an Elbit Systems factory in Bristol.

The media is now allowed to report that the activists can be sentenced with regard to a "terrorism connection".

The jury was not allowed to know that this "terrorism connection" could be applied at sentencing, and found four of the six defendants guilty of "criminal damage", with one of them also convicted of GBH without intent.

Being sentenced as terrorists means the activists could face significantly longer prison sentences and would be listed as terrorists upon release.

The other two defendants, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin, were found not guilty.

[Huda Ammori @HudaAmmori]

BREAKING: For the first time, a Judge will seek to sentence direct action activists, four of the Filton 24, as terrorists.

They were convicted of criminal damage, with the jury unaware of a potential terrorism sentence.

Reporting restrictions on this have just been lifted.

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

Elbit Systems is Israel's largest weapons manufacturer.

Its weapons sustain Israel's genocide and occupation of Palestine, as well as attacks on Yemen and Iran.

Keir boasts he kept the UK out of the war with Iran

Last month he boasted that within 2hrs of the war starting RAF pilots were shooting down Iranian missiles, & we all saw US planes taking off from British bases to bomb Iran. Rather fitting that his biggest achievement is a lie

[Hasan alrabay @HasanEssam29636]

The Israeli army launched thermobaric and pressure bombs, supplied by the United States, on Gaza. These bombs, which burn at a temperature of 3,500 degrees Celsius, are capable of killing thousands in seconds, leaving no trace.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

A school shooting you won't see on your evening news.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Israeli soldier who killed one of the Israeli hostages explains to the mother of that hostage that this happened because Israeli soldiers were instructed to kill all males in Gaza, regardless of age.

Let that sink in.

Sound up.

This video is from my bedroom this morning, side by side with a live map of all armed surveillance drones circling over Lebanon. The one I zoom in on is the one you can hear in the video.

They are loud and they are low, and we never know when or who they will strike next.

We are living in a hell created by billionaires profiting from the defense industry.

Drones are already being tested out by some American police departments.

What doesn’t add up with Starmer Arson trial?
👉No news channels are reporting from the trial involving arson of the PM’s former properties.
👉The case has come to court without the main protagonist (‘El Money’)
👉The main suspect is 21 year old Roman Lavrynovych who literally doesn’t know East from West. And who is desperate for money. An obvious patsy.
👉Lavrynovych had been paid via PayPal by ‘El Money’ before the arson but repeatedly messaged ‘El Money’ with his PayPal details after the arson. Why?
👉The media have run with ‘El Money’ being Russian when the main suspect thinks he could be Ukrainian.

MORE TO COME TODAY ON DAY NINE.

Why would Israeli ambassadors be secretly meeting with the Met Police Commissioner?

Could it have anything to do with attempts to ban your rights and freedoms to march or protest in opposition to Israel’s genocide?
