I too hope there’ll be 60 days of lower intensity Israeli bombardment (we all know Israel never abides by ceasefires), but let’s not pretend there’s hope for a permanent ceasefire. Israel has made it clear that they will continue until their ethnic cleansing fantasy is achieved.

The last 12 months of the Labour Party in power have really shown the value of electing a government that is dedicated to serving a country it loves. That country is not the UK, obviously, but still, the point stands.

the fact that Rachel Reeves’ tears get more sympathy from the political class than the tears and the deaths of the disabled people she’s targeting is exactly what’s wrong with this country actually

They did it b/c British juries have repeatedly found Palestine Action activists not guilty under UK law. They did it b/c they know if the public hear arguments in defence of Palestine Action, they're convincing. They did it b/c the UK is participating in the genocide in Gaza.

I went to a screening of TO KILL A WAR MACHINE tonight and if you haven't been lucky enough to see it yet, please buy a copy while it is still easy to do. It costs £10.50. It is SO inspiring, moving, devastating. tokillawarmachine.com

There are many British commentators who have made several posts showing deep concern for Rachel Reeves over the last 24 hours but apparently misplaced their phones whilst hundreds of thousands of disabled people were terrified of losing the benefits they need to live.

Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, who used photographs of injured Palestinian children on her campaign literature for last year’s general election, has voted to proscribe Palestine Action (Palestine Action) as a terrorist organisation. We won’t forget that.

This isn’t a mystery! Everyone who has ever had a job has met someone who is a massive Dyson suck-up to people who matter, and a massive bastard to inferior people who are beneath them. Everyone who has *been to school* should recognise the personality type!

The criminalisation of solidarity with Palestine isn’t just about silencing dissent. It’s part of a wider strategy to depoliticize the Palestinian struggle, by turning the fight for freedom into a humanitarian crisis, and a call for justice into a plea for survival. This

After watching a screening of Basement Films' remarkable documentary, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, a profoundly moved Gary Lineker says, "The BBC should hang its head in shame" for censoring the film.

there were no BBC headlines that read "hamas' attack on music festival killed members of israeli security forces - but hundreds more people were killed" because that would be obviously barbaric and insane

My MP is being modest here: if she'd included all the things they've done for other countries it would be even longer 👏👏👏

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond under the threat of repression to show their opposition to this despot"

When I gaze at the beauty of nature around the world and can only access it through a phone screen, I ask myself: is it because I was born in a place I didn’t choose that I’m forced to endure things no human should ever have to bear or even imagine the horror of? Just the

I’ve had lots of far right accounts responding gleefully to this - a reminder that proscribing Palestine Action wasn’t just an attack on civil liberties, it was a major gift to Islamophobes and fascists.

I've got ADHD, Joanne. It comes with the territory. Now we've cleared that up: What's the explanation for The World's Number One Women's Rights Defender™ saying zero, zilch, nada about the impact of Israel's genocide on Palestinian women? Here's a thread on what JK won't say
