Thousands turn out to protest ridiculous designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Real change is coming.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.

Martin Forde concluded Labour operates a hierarchy of racism, where anti-Black racism & Islamophobia are brushed aside.

Now we have a Prime Minister who mimicked Enoch Powell with “island of strangers” & suspended the UK’s first Black woman MP twice.

It’s institutional racism.

Yesterday a Labour government voted to slash £2 billion from some of the poorest people in our society.

They sip drinks at Mastercard HQ while disabled people are pushed to food banks.

I know I speak for millions when I say: we won't take this anymore.

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws.

Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide.

This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

The Police arrested this woman and 26 others for holding signs like these today.

What an absolute disgrace this is for the UK.

Free Speech, yeah right.

Happy birthday to our NHS 🥳

For 77 years its staff have looked after us all 👏

I wasn’t selected to speak in today’s debate, but let me be clear:

I voted to protect universal winter fuel payments and scrap the two-child benefit cap.

No-one voted for Austerity 2.0.

I will be voting against these cuts to PIP — and I’d do it a hundred times over.

We will not forget this #joshsimons

A Labour government is driving disabled people into poverty.

This is a scandal, a stain the party will never be able to wash itself of.

Every Labour MP who votes for this disgraceful legislation must be voted out and replaced by someone who stands up for the struggling.

The #WelfareBill is the wrong decision!

We are the sixth richest economy in the world - we need to stop making the most vulnerable in our society pay and start to seriously look at a #WealthTax

I never thought I might need PIP – now I don't know where I'd be without it

A PIP and universal credit claimant shares his fears for future benefit claimants who could be impacted by the disability benefit cuts.

We had free dentists, free education, nationalised energy, water and rail, masses of social housing, EU benefits and the NHS.

All of this has been taken from you so the rich can rip you off.

The BBC didn't broadcast Kneecap at Glastonbury but they did broadcast Bob Vylan and his "Death, death to the IDF" chant.

Oops BBC, better hope no one spreads their mistake.

🚨The entire #WelfareBill must be dropped

Why do Labour keep making the same mistakes, attacking the most vulnerable in our society. The government latest plans for disabled benefits cuts are divisive and sinister. 1️⃣

So the BBC refused to show Kneecap but somehow didn't see Bob Vylan coming. Like there was a chance in hell they wouldn't do this.

Disabled people’s organisations, including DPAC, Taking The PIP & Disability Rights UK, have rightly condemned Labour’s so-called “concessions” on disability benefit cuts.

It’s not a concession to condemn future generations to less support.

I’ll be voting against this Bill.

I really need to tell myself this more often. Thank you for this 🙏

Nothing but facts.

"If you believe that what a satirical band who play characters on stage do is more outrageous than the murdering of innocent Palestinians, then you need to give your head a fucking wobble.”

👏

The government should have listened to disabled people a long time ago: stop these disgraceful cuts and drop the Bill.

Just when I needed it
you came to my rescue
and left just before
I was able to say thank you - ih
