Others blocked this as too risky to even talk about, in an eye opening moment for the state of human rights under Labour.

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has not stopped. On Saturday, Israeli military airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 32 Palestinians, including six children, in one of its worst assaults during the so-called ceasefire.

11 South West Edinburgh green door knockers holding up signs with "Vote Green" and the Scottish Greens logo. Councillors Dan Heap and Ross McKenzie are there with big smiles.
6 North Edinburgh Green door knockers with a stall in front of the Stockbridge Tap pub. They've got a sign reading "Vote Green" and clipboards.
5 West Edinburgh Green door knockers with candidate Astri Kvassnes and her wee dog in front of a row of local shops and a yoga studio.
What a weekend! A huge heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out to knock on doors and chat with residents about the Scottish parliamentary election on 7 May.

It is so disgusting and alarming that the British government has been actively courting Palantir.

Screenshot of a skeet from Angus Robertson, the SNP MSP for Edinburgh Central and candidate for re-election, falsely claiming โitโs a 2-horse race between the SNP and Tories in Edinburgh Centralโ which is demonstrably untrue
Iโm sorry to see Angus Robertson continuing to share deliberately misleading false claims ๐คฅ
Greens are polling to win the Central constituency ๐ with tories absolutely nowhere to be found
Maybe heโs seen the polling and is scared to tell the truth?

Adam McGibbon said that he was told charges against him would be dropped if he accepted a ยฃ100 fine for showing support for the banned group. He said he would reject the offer.

Palestine Action hunger strikers are up to day 70 of their hunger strike. This is the largest coordinated hunger strike in British prisons since 1981, and the govt seems content to let them die (again).
Raise your voices. Do whatever is in your power.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Todayโs column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Calls to strip pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship pile torment on top of torture.
New piece by me on a dangerous and manufactured storm:
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
UK politicians and journalists falling over themselves to rebuke tweets Alaa Abd-el Fattah made many years ago just serves to aid Egypt in continuing to torture with impunity. Staggering moral triviality when Labour could be making a win out of this. 3arabawy.substack.com/p/torture-to...

I will never regret being part of the movement to free Alaa Abd el-Fattah, or writing the foreword to his extraordinary book, You Have Not Yet Been Defeated.
