This friendly woman was arrested alongside her partner for the THIRD TIME under the Terrorism Act for simply holding a cardboard sign.

She confidently explains that β€œthe Royal Courts of Justice will sort that out next week” as she is taken away in her motorised wheelchair.

How absurd is it that people in the UK are still being arrested under β€œterrorism” charges for supporting Palestine Action, a non-violent group that disrupted the weapons industry, yet you can support the occupation in the UK, a pro-violent group committing terrorism daily, and be completely fine.

Here's my argument with Sir Bernard Jenkin MP about the report showing how the racist intimidation of Black and Brown NHS workers on home visits has been exacerbated by the far right's wall of flags.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Kemi Badenoch and the tories don't approve of workers' rights or parental leave, but do agree with the practice of fire and rehire

Pass it on

They're still not on the side of ordinary working people, regardless of what they might claim

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.

The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

Just heard Harriet Harman say Zack Polanski is a cross between Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn which means you can add potty Blairite fossils to the ever growing list of political degenerates tugging their collars over him.

The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are massacring civilians.

They're armed by the United Arab Emirates - a key Western ally.

This is yet more genocidal mayhem armed and facilitated by the West.

For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does β€” something #ICE agents would do well to remember.

Expel the Israeli ambassador.

Shut down the embassy.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

At least 135 Palestinian bodies mutilated by the Israeli army returned to Gaza.

Yet there is infinitely more outrage over racist Israeli football hooligans being barred from Birmingham's streets.

The world has been turned on its head.
