PALESTINE ACTION BAN RULED UNLAWFUL
Huge win for democracy and embarrassment for the government.
The gov is to appeal. Despite the High Court revealing their authoritarianism, they seem to want the Supreme Court to do so as well.
The court ruled that the ban remains in place until a future hearing.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.
While helping to consign us all to catastrophe.

The police and MSM are lying about what happened at Wormwood Scrubs Pro-Palestine protesters were NOT violent. They did NOT damage property at Wormwood Scrubs. But the Met saw a chance to make mass arrests.

Pro-Palestine protesters were NOT violent. They did NOT damage property at Wormwood Scrubs. But the Met saw a chance to make mass arrests - and took it. This is not democracy.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential. The authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, also found that the top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90% combined, while the poorest half captures less than 10% of total global earnings.
