Powerful words from historian William Dalrymple on Gaza, exposing how Britain’s colonial legacy played a key role in creating this injustice. The suffering in Gaza didn’t start yesterday, it was engineered long ago. #Gaza #PalestinđŸ‡”đŸ‡ž

Here are the real reasons why the welfare bill is growing
 - poor pay - ⁠growing inequality - ⁠reduced public services - ⁠an underfunded NHS A different way is possible. Tax the multi millionaires and beat poverty. That’ll make the country a better more equal place.

They have proscribed, arrested, charged and tried to ban the Palestine movement in all its forms. A sign of weakness not strength. The real criminals are those responsible for the unfathomable atrocity in Gaza. Millions of us know it - and will ensure there is accountability.

To equate a spray can of paint with a suicide bomb isn't just absurd, it is grotesque. It is a deliberate distortion of the law to chill dissent, criminalise solidarity & suppress the truth about UK complicity in genocide. My full speech against proscribing Palestine Action:

When The Times is defending civil liberties against a Labour government led by a former human rights barrister, you know this country is in deep trouble. Just 22 MPs voted against the proscription of Palestine Action. The rest enabled it. Shame on them.

Parliament and Hansard have removed “We are all Palestine Action” from my speech on Wednesday 2 July 2025 — despite me saying it. This is a blatant attempt to censor me and rewrite the record. This is not how a democracy behaves. We will not be silenced.
