A government enthralled to men and corporations drunk on power is the rot at the centre of the Mandelson scandal.

Of all seven of the Nolan principles, openness can help build back the most trust.

Every MP, like me, should release logs of all lobbying meetings.

The most disgraceful thing Queen Elizabeth ever did was pay £12m of your money to keep Andrew from being found guilty of sex offences in court.

The defendants were not permitted to explain to the jury why they did what they did – which you might have believed was a pretty fundamental right.

Palestine Action Activists Cleared In Elbit Systems ‘Burglary’ Case - PopularResistance.Org Six Palestine Action activists were cleared of aggravated burglary charges on 4 February after a jury at Woolwich Crown Court in south London returned not-guilty verdicts. The case centered on a 2024 break-in at a UK facility operated by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, leading to the defendants being accused of infiltrating the site with the “intent to use violence.” The action was framed as aggravated burglary, carrying a potential life sentence. After a trial that began in November 2025, jurors acquitted Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers, and Jordan Devlin of aggravated burglary.

Seems that our juries have more common sense and decency than most people in government.

Six Palestine Action protesters have been found not guilty of aggravated burglary at an Elbit weapons site near Bristol.

Fucking shameful - how long is the state prepared to imprison him without trial? Two years, three years, four years?

Samuel Corner has been denied bail despite receiving no convictions in the first trial relating to the dismantling of weapons at Elbit Systems’ Bristol weapons factory.

The other 5 defendants in the case have had bail granted following their acquittals on aggravated burglary 1/3

These verdicts show just why we must do everything possible to ensure jury trials are protected and expose the utter injustice in both the decision to proscribe Palestine Action and the over-policing of demonstrations against that proscription.

Is Mandelson's real sin that he gave confidential information to Epstein? Or that he got caught doing what so many do? Why do Ministers sell access to business people for huge 'donations'?

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Time to bail all those held on remand, can’t be justified to hold them without trial for years and years.

The unelected interim leadership of Your Party has still not formalised local branches or ensured members have access to their own data. This should have been resolved months ago, allowing local members to democratically select a Your Party candidate for the upcoming Gorton & Denton by-election. The candidate list is now published and it is clear that Hannah Spencer, a local plumber and trade unionist, is the strongest challenger to Labour and Reform. I am, therefore, giving my personal critical support to her and the Green Party in this by-election, and I urge others to do the same. I have always been clear that the left is strongest when it is united. Our real opponents are not one another. They are Reform and the far-right. As a young Muslim woman, I understand viscerally what it would mean for the far-right to gain power in this country. This is not an abstract debate for me, nor the millions of people across the country whose safety would be directly affected. That is why I want Your Party to become what it was founded to be: a mass working-class party that unites the left, provides a genuine socialist and anti-imperialist alternative, and prevents Nigel Farage and his cronies from ever getting the keys to Downing Street. Together, Your Party will be that vehicle. Ultimately, defeating fascism must be our number one priority. ZARAH SULTANA MP Your Party MP for Coventry South

Unlike Palestine Action protesters, you know who'll never face 18 months or more on remand awaiting trial in one of Britain's crumbling prisons? Wes Streeting's mentor Peter Mandelson

Peter Mandelson sold Government secrets to foreign agents for personal profit.

He doesn't need to be thrown out of the House of Lords, he needs to be thrown in jail.

End the prosecution of peaceful protestors in the UK Police have made 2700+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This cannot go unchallenged. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide...

Almost 43,000 people have signed a petition calling for UK officials to end their prosecution of peaceful protestors.

Ali Shaath, head of the NCAG, said the recent civilian deaths in Gaza are “excruciating,” offered condolences to grieving families, and urged “all sides” to uphold the ceasefire. Israel’s unprovoked massacres yesterday killed at least 32 Palestinians across Gaza. The air strikes and gunfire hit residential targets and in some cases wiped out whole families. Majority of those murdered were women and children, the Gaza Civil Defense said.

EU adds Iran's Revolutionary Guards to 'terrorist list' EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says the move is a response to Tehran's deadly crackdown on protesters.

The EU has added Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to its ‘terror list’, following massacring of peaceful protestors

The UK has not.

The UK govt did add Palestine Action to its own ‘terror list’, despite PA killing nobody

The EU did not.
