I won’t lose any sleep over being condemned by Israel.
What I deplore is its despicable treatment of the Palestinian people — and I will never stop speaking out against the occupation.
My piece for @MetroUK on Israel’s decision to ban me from entry.

If the United States is bombing Iran from British bases, we cannot pretend we are not involved.
This war is totally illegal. We should have absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever.
A privilege to speak at the Govanhill Book Festival in Glasgow to chat about Palestine, politics and poetry with the wonderful @JosieLong. She even let me read out a poem I wrote recently about a bee.
Thank you Josie and thank you Glasgow!
Shocking decision from the government to approve a data centre over desperately-needed social housing.
31,000 people in Tower Hamlets are on the waitlist for council flats. This centre will do nothing for them, except consume an immense amount of water and energy. Appalling.
Half of England is in drought after record-breaking heatwaves, yet most of our media want to talk about the "problem" of refugees whilst giving airtime to absurd & dehumanising policies from Reform UK.
Politicians who scapegoat refugees and migrants have no interest in making your life better.
If they really cared, they would take on corporations holding this country to ransom.
They would end the daylight robbery of privatisation.
And they would tackle the real cause of society's problems: a grotesquely unequal economy that sucks wealth away from the majority to an elite few.
Next week is the anniversary of Hiroshima.
Today, the Prime Minister has announced more investment in weapons of mass destruction.
The UK spends £12,000 every minute on nuclear weapons. Imagine if we spent that money on social care, schools and the NHS instead.

In September, my Gaza (Independent Inquiry) Bill returns to Parliament.
Its purpose: to uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide.
The next Prime Minister has a simple choice: will they support this inquiry, or will they block our efforts to expose the truth?
