I welcome the news that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has lost her appeal and failed to block the legal challenge to the proscription of Palestine Action.

The Judicial Review will now go ahead on 25-27 November, with two additional grounds to challenge the ban’s legality.

This is a huge win for civil liberties and our right to protest.

We must continue to defend our rights against Keir Starmer’s authoritarian Labour government.

Israel kidnaps Gaza flotilla Piracy in plain sight.

Israel has kidnapped hundreds of people in international waters.

They were trying to break an illegal siege which is starving the people of Gaza.

The flotilla is the best of us 👇

I’ve been saying for years the Netanyahu does not care about diaspora Jews. If you don’t live in Israel he will happily see you as colateral for his genocide. All my love to all Jews in this sad Yom Kippur. Keep being your feisty loud funny selves 💜✡️

@educatorsforpeace.bsky.social launched the first of our webinar series of professional development last night. Great to so many teachers/educators engage with us on the need to address the rise of #racism & the #FarRight, including challenging conversations dealt with compassion and humanity.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

My thoughts on the disturbing incident of a young Muslim girl who was racially attacked on Monday after school while walking home in a leafy suburb of Glasgow. I am in disbelief that this is happening in 2025. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure this doesn't become the norm including schools.

Whether it’s attacking hospitals, journalists, aid seekers, aid workers, flotillas Israel’s MO is the same:

Deny it
Do it again
Deny it
Do it again
Deny it
Do it again
Until the world shrugs off a new normal
