#Day1 yesterday was my final shift at my minimum wage restaurant chain. I left because 1) I was fed up of being worked into the ground for nothing and 2) (most importantly) I want to take some time to really focus on trying to push for a career in film.

This is not an accurate description of events at all.

I was part of a delegation of speakers, who wished to peacefully carry and lay flowers in memory of children in Gaza who had been killed.

This was facilitated by the police. We did not force our way through.

When we reached Trafalgar Square, we informed police that we would go no further, lay down flowers and disperse.

At that point, the Chief Steward, Chris Nineham was arrested. We then turned back and dispersed.

I urge the police to release all bodycam footage and retract its misleading account of events.

Climate protestors Phoebe Plummer & Anna Holland: jailed for 2 years & 20 months respectively after throwing soup at art covered in protective glass.

Huw Edwards: convicted of making indecent images of children & got a suspended sentence.

Sentencing laws aren’t fit for purpose.

Would have paid double for this

People are going to say “Labour landslide” over and over again till it feels real, but let’s remember that “Tory sinkhole” is the more accurate description.

'When her [Natalie Elphicke's] husband was convicted of sexual assault, she called his victim a liar. Is this the sort of person who shares Labour values?'

'I'm delighted to welcome Natalie Elphicke to the Labour party.'

Reminder that the Eurovision have:
- anti-booing technology
- turned off the audience mics for Israels performance
- have fake cheering audio for Israels performance

Heres whats really happening in the arena while Israel are performing:

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

As World Central Kitchen confirm, Israel slaughtered their aid workers despite:

1) Travelling in a deconflicted zone

2) Travelling in cars branded with the WCK logo

3) Coordinating movements with the IDF

4) Leaving a warehouse

How can this not be intentional? How?

YFFP activists crashed and shut down a presentation by BAE Systems in Manchester. BAE Systems manufacture essential parts for the F-35 fighter jets being used to bomb Gaza. We know who you are, we know what you do-we’re coming for you! @_YFFP_ @GMF_Palestine

I could listen to @hzomlot talk all day about this. He doesn’t stutter, he doesn’t mince words, and he hits every mark.

The world is tired of the West’s double standards, and the more the West tries to enforce them, the more everyone else will resist.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Following the International Court of Justice's historic ruling against Israel, I have written to the Prime Minister.

I am again urging him to heed Britain's obligations as a signatory to the Genocide Convention and to end his government's complicity in this atrocity:

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The International Court of Justice said it was “plausible” Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

How can political leaders now not call for an immediate ceasefire?

How can arms sales to Israel continue?

The world is watching. They must act.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"Nobody understands what Keir Starmer stands for. Why has he not shown the appropriate leadership on Gaza... I don't know how anybody can see that level of death & destruction & not call for an immediate ceasefire"

Jeremy Corbyn makes his way to The Hague today to back South Africa's case against Israel.

The South African authorities only specifically listed one political figure, Corbyn. "The South African delegation will be joined by senior political figures from progressive political parties and movements across the globe which include amongst others Jeremy Corbyn," the South African Ministry of Justice stated.

Did Ridley Scott/ David Scarpa purposefully reference “a succulent Chinese meal” in Napoleon or was it just the happiest accident in cinema history?

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.

Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
