Labour peer Peter Hain making the point that this govt would have called him a terrorist for his participation in anti apartheid direct action protests in the 1970's. He also argues that this govt would have called the suffragettes terrorists too.

Francesca Albanese calling out the “economy of genocide”: ‘In 20 months the Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 stock exchange has grown by 213%’ ‘An increase of $220bn’ ‘For many companies, genocide=profit’ Profiteering from the murder of 20,000 🇵🇸 children. Expose them. The truth is disgusting.

Everyone must watch this remarkable documentary, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, the best piece of reporting yet to come out of Gaza. It should win every award and shows the reason why Israel will not let journalists in: the unprecedented war crimes that the IDF commit everyday.

One year as an MP! It's been the honour of a lifetime serving North Herefordshire over the past year. I’m proud of everything we've achieved so far and full of determination to keep campaigning for real change: river-friendly farming, future-fit homes, and free social care!

The key takeaway from the Global Tipping Points Conference at the University of Exeter, where I've been this week, convening over 500 earth-system & other scientists: Global heating over 1.5C risks setting off tipping points that would destroy the world. The hotter, the more danger. 1/

Gabor Maté: “We're seeing the slaughter of civilians & children & kids being amputated without anesthetics & being starved. & the press has always lied, but the lies have never been more egregious, & the silence has never been more deafening than it is today...”

There is no justification on earth for blocking deliveries of baby formula to starving babies and mothers. What Israel is inflicting on Gaza is monstrous, genocidal.

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

The Police arrested this woman and 26 others for holding signs like these today. What an absolute disgrace this is for the UK. Free Speech, yeah right.

Enough. Enough. Enough. Except it never seems to be enough for the IDF. They just can't stop killing doctors, journalists, anyone who will impede their killing spree

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.
