"It felt like Armageddon." Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan describes the horrific scenes in Nasser Hospital following a night of Israeli military airstrikes across #Gaza. At least 413 Palestinians have been killed overnight.

The news today on disability benefits might be bleak but thats why we now need to flood the consultation with responses. The consultation runs until 30th June and you can respond at the bottom of this page gov.uk/government/con…

In under 24 hours, Israel has massacred over 400 people in Gaza — including 174 children. Words of condemnation ring hollow. The UK government must end ALL arms sales, trade & diplomatic ties with a state facing genocide charges at the ICJ & leaders under ICC arrest warrants.

🌟 Publication Announcement! 🌟 Keep Left: the Red Paper in Scotland, 2025. Really pleased to share this new book in which I have contributed to, with an essay that I hope will encourage some important discussions around our young people, criminality, and incarceration.
