It is difficult to convey the extraordinary silence of this garden — so dense is the packing of oleanders and small pines and so heavy the shadow in which the house is set that sound itself becomes blurred and mingles with the hushing of the sea along the beaches to the eastward.

Yes the conduct of the police is shameful. However the police don’t behave in a vacuum. Across the country not one of us ,for holding a piece of paper in support of Palestine,should have been arrested at all. Let’s point the finger in the right direction - the Labour government

Zohran Mamdani moved a table, Jeremy Corbyn owns a jacket, these are the kinds of "scandals" we are supposed to get mad at while billionaires take everything from all of us.

You should apologise to the surviving Palestinian journalists of Gaza. And the loved ones of those Israel murdered. They risked - and lost - their lives exposing the truth about Israel’s genocide. Meanwhile your employer, the BBC, served up dishonest, biased shit.

the catastrophic failure of the BBC over Gaza was not down to lack of BBC correspondents in Gaza. the BBC made a top-level editorial decision to back Israel, to deny its innumerable war crimes. this was a deliberate decision to misreport & deceive, not some quirk of circumstance.

There is no evidence for the claim Palestine Action is funded by Iran, but there's loads of evidence Yvette Cooper and this Labour government are in fact actually funded by terrorist state Israel.

🚨NEW: No. 10 staffer tells me that the 'selling off allotments' policy was issued in revenge after Jeremy Corbyn announced his new party. Staffer tells there was a meeting on Monday to decide how to react and this one got passed and Rayner was sent out with it this morning 🧵

Allotments are places of community and growth Don't sell our allotments 😢 🥕 I used to take patients up to our council owned community allotment, and it was such a place of growth and reflection 🫜🫜 Stop selling all our nice things. Tax the rich!

The spy flights that Britain has been flying over Gaza for Israel since December 2023 constitute direct participation in genocide The whole programme, long shrouded in secrecy, is unravelling ICC must investigate and prosecute the UK ministers who ordered and oversaw it

As someone has rightly argued, as well as opposing the sell-off of allotments, we should counter the threat to allotments by starting a campaign to re-wild golf courses.
