Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I was a school librarian attempting to work on digital literacy until I was made redundant in 2014 as part of cutbacks. The rationale being kids have the internet instead.

UN human rights chief criticises 'disturbing' Palestine Action ban Volker Turk urges the UK government to lift the "unnecessary" ban on the group.

The UK government's ban on Palestine Action is a "disturbing" misuse of counter-terrorism legislation, the United Nations' human rights chief has warned.

More than 200 people have been arrested since the ban was introduced, under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Among the many terrifying things about this, is the thought that actual terrorists are probably making hay because the anti-terror police are putting resources into this utter nonsense.

It is very hard to see how the UK government can sign this statement, which makes it absolutely clear that it recognises that Israel is committing - as a matter of state policy - deliberate and systematic war crimes, without at a minimum cutting all military cooperation with Israel.

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.

People who tried to talk around Vance's speech yesterday are denying the truth. Washington is trying to legitimize right-wing authoritarianism across Europe (think Orbanizing the continent). It would be the end of democracy. I pray Vance's move backfires.

1 personal endorsement from someone, such as yourself, is worth thousands of posts from someone like me - especially now people are deleting Twitter and Facebook it's going to be difficult getting petitions signed πŸ™
