Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Number of arrests was highest recorded in relation to single operation in at least past decade, according to Met police

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism

Through his AI policy & his defence policy, Starmer’s approach is dangerous & irresponsible

It enmeshes us ever deeper into dependence on the US.
We really are losing our sovereignty, but to America, not the EU.

Occupied Palestinian Territories: joint statement, 21 July 2025 The UK and 25 international partners gave a joint statement on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Good statement that makes clear Israel is deliberately massacring starving civilians.

"We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. "

They never learn, I swear to Christ. The agreement is between several parties, Suella. It was negotiated by individuals whose moral & intellectual stature is beyond your fucking comprehension. You don't get to unilaterally rewrite it so it satisfies your pathological simple-mindedness.

They've managed to criminalise legitimate protest and undermine anti-terror laws in one move. They should be goddamned ashamed of themselves.

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE.
That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist.
Language has been turned on its head.
The law has been turned on its head.
Murdering children is righteous.
Trying to stop it is terrorism.

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying β€˜Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

This is abominable and everyone involved in the series of events which led to it, from the Home Office to the police, should be ashamed of themselves.

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Starmer’s Labour.

Benefit cuts will hit severely disabled people despite ministers’ claims, say charities Exclusive: Charities say planned universal credit changes fail to account for progressive or fluctuating conditions

β€œHuge swathes” of severely disabled people will be hit by Universal Credit cuts, contrary to government claims they will be protected.Β

MPs and much of the media have spun a false narrative about tonight’s Universal Credit vote. The PIP pause has created the myth the government has fully u-turned on its disability cuts. But Β£2 billion is about to be pulled from the sickest and poorest people in the country.

Rachel Reeves vs reality: The economics of the two-child cap
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Rachel Reeves vs reality: The economics of the two-child cap

Rachel Reeves vs reality: The economics of the two-child cap youtu.be/b3GFjLR0Wjs?... The government claims it cannot afford to pay benefits for the elderly, children in poverty, and people with disabilities. That is nonsense. Simple economic analysis shows that these benefits pay for themselves.
