@SEPeaceMissions
I would like to acknowledge the vital role of the United Kingdom in assisting and coordinating efforts that have led us to this historic day in Israel. In particular, I want to recognize the incredible input and tireless efforts of National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell.

No, thank you! You've even made me bite the bullet and arrange a winter solstice sunrise trip to Castlerigg - I've wanted to do it for years.

That sounds like a great approach! The quality of the writing makes it easy to imagine you're there - at any of the points in the history of these sites.

Thresholds at Bethlem I took the train to Beckenham Junction, heading for Bethlem Museum of the Mind.

If you vote Reform you will be voting against womenโ€™s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isnโ€™t enough)

Remember 41% of the Farage Foot Soldiers arrested in last summerโ€™s disgraceful riots had already been REPORTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE

When it comes to fixing Brexit progress delayed is progress undone By Naomi Smith

Starmer is not a vibes politician. Unlike Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson, he does not thrive on bombast, misdirection, or indeed, charisma. His political case rests on showing tangible improvements in peopleโ€™s lives. So he needs to hurry up.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

Please know that there isnโ€™t a shred of scientific evidence suggesting Covid vaccines cause cancer.

Please disregard this manโ€™s rubbish - he doesnโ€™t work for the NHS & why the GMC hasnโ€™t struck him off long ago baffles innumerable NHS doctors like me. 2/4

Thank you so much! One of the artists in the exhibition I'm curating was a keen poet - his poems seem to reveal more about his state of mind at times than his artwork. I find that fascinating (he was a trained artist, but amateur poet - if there is such a thing)

Palestine Action: Proscription - Hansard - UK Parliament Hansard record of the item : 'Palestine Action: Proscription' on Monday 23 June 2025.

It seems that many people haven't realised the truth about Palestine Action.

And some seem happy to both mislead others to think it's all about some paint on a plane, while purposefully conflating the proscribing with a ban on legitimate protest about Gaza.

But that is not the truth...

Their comms is absolutely abysmal. I met my newly elected Labour MP at Xmas and said the government should be pursuing Levison 2. But I think it's actually much more than just press bias, they need someone as good as Campbell was for Blair.

Thanks for posting this link to Hansard. The government should really be explaining more about the reasons behind the decision to proscribe PA. Maybe more will come out after the other criminal proceedings are resolved.
