'Like a kidnapping': How UK police are hunting pro-Palestine activists Homes raided, people approached on the street, called from unknown numbers, arrested without warning: how British police are cracking down on activists

Police literally no-knock raided and blackbagged two Palestine activists, telling her she would be 'incommunicado', 'no-one will know where you are'.

Her crime? Robustly questioning a pro-genocide MP when she doorstepped *them*.

To be blunt - MPs feeling the heat should get out of the kitchen.

Jeremy Corbyn: People Have Been Denied an Alternative In a wide-ranging interview with Tribune, Jeremy Corbyn discusses his hopes for the new Left party, the potential for coalition building, and his determination to overcome sectarianism on the way to f...

Let’s remember why we’re doing this: to transform society so that everyone can live in dignity.

My interview with @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the need for a real, democratic alternative.

Geoffrey Cox, Freeports, and the Shadow Courts Draining UK Democracy For corporate lawyers, including MPs who moonlight in the field, ISDS and LCIA are a goldmine. For democracy, they’re a wrecking ball.

Tory MP Geoffrey Cox is helping a foreign-registered company sue the UK Govt over a climate policy via an ISDS lawsuit.
ISDS and LCIA mechanisms act as a cash generator for unscrupulous MPs under the cover of secondary legislation.
Watch as MPs capitalize on ISDS.

Let this sink in

I suggest the courts should get involved now

Defra today: "Online marketplaces [Amazon et al] will now help cover the costs of cleaning up waste electricals [inc. white goods]...from our homes & streets, Circular Economy Minister Mary Creagh announced today, as new regs ensuring a level playing field for UK retailers come into force."

I watched Home Secretary Yvette Cooper assert that some demonstrators didn't understand that Palestine Action was a violent organisation. Maybe. But they sure understand what happens when you deliberately starve an entire community.

A young Care Worker from Yorkshire was arrested at Saturday’s Lift The Ban action for holding a sign.

“They’re dragging people out of their homes in the middle of the night, then shooting them in the street. It’s murder. It’s a genocide. Free Palestine!”

When they kill the witnesses, it means they are preparing crimes too big to hide. Stand with Palestine. Keep their voices alive.

RELEASED

We can now confirm that every arrestee from the Lift The Ban sign-holding action has been released. None have been charged.

Hundreds of the arrestees were taken to police cells. Hundreds were processed in pop-up gazebos after queuing for hours.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Reeves has to stop tax cheats, not hammer working people with tax increases

Reeves has to stop tax cheats youtu.be/R-bb_sWI6a0?... People say Rachel Reeves faces a £40bn “black hole” in the UK budget. That gap could be filled, at least in part, by collecting corporation tax already owed. In this video, I explain how three simple legal changes could fix the system.

Scotland’s NHS was built on fairness and equality, yet Westminster keeps the door open to privatisation.

Only independence can guarantee it stays public, free and protected.

Why “spend before tax” is the key to unlocking a future for young people In a post I published here yesterday, I explained that in a country like the UK, which issues its own currency, has an effective tax system, a functioning legal system, and with that currency being ac...

Why “spend before tax” is the key to unlocking a future for young people www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/08... If we understand that we can demand secure homes, good jobs, free education, affordable childcare, and a liveable planet now, and not in some imagined future when the books “balance”.

Sure, the facilitators of genocide run the British state.

They can use the state machinery to crush opponents of genocide.

They bet that no government will ever be elected which enforces the Genocide Convention, which criminalises complicity in genocide.

They'll lose this bet.

BREAKING: Yvette Cooper has vowed to build enough prisons to jail every pensioner and disabled person in the country instead of ending the UK's participation in genocide. History will remember her kindly ♥️

Seems the weak kneed politicians are more afraid of people like these...than the type that shoot innocent women and children queuing for food!! #ToriesGone401

Gail, one of the co-founders of Extinction Rebellion and a strong supporter of Palestine, was arrested in Parliament Square on Saturday

Palestine Action protesters arrested by police at London demo Protesters simultaneously unveiled signs with the same message

Arresting Quakers, former Guantanamo inmates, blind disabled activists... This is the largest political mass arrest since the Poll Tax Riots 35 years ago.

A government for nobody, hated by everyone, cowering behind a thin blue line. Pathetic.

You matter.

My therapist reminded me of that the other day.

Of course I matter. I know… intellectually. Emotionally? That’s harder.

A lifetime of masking, people pleasing, avoiding and chasing external validation is hard to shake off. Even when you finally feel enough.

Passing it on: You matter.

Ok so we’re 316 off 6k signatures. Anyone who has signed who hasn’t managed to get a second person to sign, try get someone to this weekend so we can crack 6k. Then we’ve 6 weeks to get 4k more.

absolute heroes! Starmer's increasingly authoritarian government and suppression of dissenting voices needs to be challenged - you and the other brave protesters have my respect.

This is spot on. The world is severely lacking hope right now. In Scotland we need hope, ambition, and a vision of a better country, and better times.

Brilliant!

would have voted for socialist policies

been campaigning against Labour

Proud to be a signatory to this as a journalist.

Solidarity to all those attempting to report what is happening in Gaza.

Middle Australia marches As fully paid members of Middle Australia, my partner and I had a clear middle row view on Sunday’s March for Humanity.

"Middle Australia marches"
Not the police, not out of touch ignorant idiots like Premier Minns nor an LNP opposition (who urge the government to pass legislation to ban Sydney Harour Bridge marches) will stop legitimate dissent
It's a RIGHT otherwise democracy is dead
