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 ♥️

Sit in demonstration outside of parliament with activists holding "i support palestine action" signs

Another 200 arrested as the absurd anti-Palestine action nan-hunt continues

MP claims Surrey Care home is a “hot bed of terrorist activity” filled with Palestine Action supporters.

Several activists blocked the entry to an Elbit factory in Ulm, Germany. The largest arms manufacturer for Israel.

Transport of London staff face deportation under new visa rules More than 60 employees who came to the UK on skilled worker visas may have to leave the transport body.

It's sickening that TfL workers who gained a skilled worker visa in good faith have had their secure employment removed by the Government at the stroke of a pen.

Hundreds attended Saturday’s demonstration in Parliament Square, organised by the campaign group Defend Our Juries, which had asked participants to hold up signs saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” Continue reading...

Police arrest 532 people at London protest over Palestine Action ban

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Why would any country which has already been subjected to occupation and horrific massacres by an violent neighbouring regime destroy defence to that same regime as it becomes increasingly violent?

After 12 months, the UK government is still "considering" its response to the ICJ's determination that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful.

Because accepting it would require the UK comply.

Lord Dannatt urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at request of US firm Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have ‘input’ into factory attack investigation

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face.
Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy.

Nick Timothy did delete his post but did not apologise.

More fundamentally, Timothy was criticising the police for protecting the delivery person from a racist mob.

Not sure how, if he *had* been working illegally, that makes it ok?

I am old enough to remember when Elon Musk did a Nazi salute and one of the first people to rush to defend him was Benjamin Netanyahu.

Who in their right mind would give up all self defence against a regime which constantly slaughters and mains the unarmed and defenceless?
