👉NEW -- Did Trump pressure Starmer to ban Palestine Action?

by John McEvoy & Dania Akkad

Lawyers for Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, have questioned if the US president influenced the crackdown on the group.

Labour ministers are spending £1.5bn of public money on 6 new arms factories "to boost the UK's warfighting readiness" and contribute to "defence as an engine for growth" and "national renewal".

How the European convention on human rights became a battleground between the centre and the right | Daniel Trilling For 20 years, populists have been blaming the ECHR for endangering Britain by offering basic protections to immigrants, says author Daniel Trilling

A few weeks ago I wrote a piece on the 75th anniversary of the ECHR - and how it is threatened by the vicious politics of resentment that Labour and the Tories have enabled/encouraged in the past 20 years. This to me is what lies beneath the asylum "debate".

Just to illustrate how much worse it's got, I have received more abuse over the past year and a bit - including death threats and a large volume of antisemitism - for what I write than in the previous 15 years of covering migration and the far right put together.

The book follows a ten-year investigation of the military training area on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire and explores what it means to live next to a military base. It’s a great read, covering so many aspects of militarised communities, landscapes and wider policies.

Backing British business: reforms to champion UK defence companies on the world stage Defence Industrial Strategy will unveil reforms to champion British defence businesses to increase export sales through cutting red tape and expanded financial backing.

The government says UK arms exports globally "are now worth over £14.5 billion annually and growing – making Britain the world’s second-largest arms exporter after the United States".

We always knew Labour would be worse than the Tories on arms exports.

In December 2023, Israeli president Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs due to be dropped on Gaza.

Next week he’ll be in the UK at the invitation of the British government.

So hard, watching this, to rein in that knee-jerk (male?) desire that violence be met with greater violence. Not proud of how much I want these bullying old cunts to get their heads kicked in. #antifascism
