Kneecap fought the law, and the law lost. This victory for KNEECAP is a victory for everyone speaking out against Israel’s genocide. One day, it will be those who facilitated the genocide hauled before courts. And those cases will not be thrown out.

The failure to recognise that young people can also be disabled is a sinister intersection of ageism and ableism that we really need to talk about more.

Disability can be from birth. It can be significant. You should not be supported based on contributions. Besides, look at pensions - how many people will still probably never retire. The UK government just lies and moves the bar anyway.

Labour conference has passed a motion that recognises Israel’s genocide taking place in Gaza, and calls for the government to commit to a full arms embargo and end UK-Israeli military cooperation. Our members have taken a stand against genocide; now the government must too.

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide. While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide Absolutely extraordinary!

Always good please do check ot out :)

Labour have revoked the conference passes of two left-wing journalists. Meanwhile, GB News have a massive on site studio, fuelled by a constant supply of smiling Labour ministers. Tells you all you need to know!

From tomorrow, I step into my role as Chair of Autism Central, a fully co-produced and co-delivered NHS-commissioned national peer support programme for families of autistic people, and for those working alongside them. New term. New programme. New teams. Same old T-shirt.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Lady Michelle Mone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What,

75% of the UK public supports a wealth tax. We’re not "snake oil salesmen” - we’re telling the government to take a small, logical step to tackle criminal levels of inequality.

Not enough to go after pensioners, poor and disabled people? Now young people suffering mental health issues are to be targeted too. Well, the war drive is not going to pay for itself. Labour will look again at cutting mental health benefits, says Starmer thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

I grew up and attended a synagogue in north Manchester. So many of us are feeling the horrific scenes today that all come at a time of rising Antisemitism. The Green Party stands with the Jewish community and everyone affected. And thanks the emergency responders for their work.

A brief tiny memory about Manchán Magan, who passed away yesterday. I guested on a series he did 20 years ago, and he noted that I had dropped the “fada” (the accent/diacritic) over the O in my name, which I had replaced with a capital O, just for ease of understanding in the
