Just Stop Oil protesters convicted after being denied right to state climate facts Lawyers call for clarity over law as six are found guilty while being stopped from using defence used by fellow activists

Utterly scandalous that climate activists are prevented from mentioning climate change in their defence

Even worse when one group is and another isn't, yet they're accused of the same offence

Our legal system is being turned into a joke

Why are socialists all over the world so focused on an election in New York?

For the same reason the US spent the 20th century toppling democratically elected socialist leaders.

Because ours is an internationalist movement - a victory for one is a victory for all ✊

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has clarified that British people are allowed to protest as long as they don't protest too often, their protests aren't seen by anyone, and they are completely ineffective. Anything else is un-British and basically terrorism x

The greatest threat to our democracy, freedom, and human rights is not Farage. It is the overwhelming majority of the British news media.

They promote Farage, and they protect Farage.

If they carry on like this, we will soon have no democracy.

Did Britain help murder an African leader and U.N. secretary general? A new book on the CIA in Africa throws further light on the UK’s covert role in the 1961 killing of Congo’s Patrice Lumumba.

64 years ago this month, the UN secretary general died in a plane crash.

Who killed him?

"Stop arming Israel"

Govt minister Hamish Falconer was heckled as he spoke outside the Palestinian mission in London yesterday, & rightly so as he's a member of a govt that not only denies genocide is taking place, but one which is actively complicit in that genocide.

When the history of the rise of fascism in the UK in the 2020s gets written, the complicity of the BBC will require a full volume of its own.

Lord Dannatt urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at request of US firm Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have ‘input’ into factory attack investigation

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face.
Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy.

"The judge.. said there has already been, & I quote, 'a chilling effect on those wishing to express legitimate political views as an indirect consequences of the proscription'"

The High Court has granted permission for a full legal review of the banning of Palestine Action

While the UK continues to sell F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, it punishes and represses those speaking out against this genocide.

Solidarity with every person who has marched, resisted and refused to stay silent!

BREAKING 🚨 ~40 ARRESTS IN PARLIAMENT SQ.

Over 300 police officers have been seen to carry away dozens of people from the foot of statues of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi for allegedly terrorism offences.

Those arrested are accused of holding signs in support of Palestine Action

Parliament and Hansard have removed “We are all Palestine Action” from my speech on Wednesday 2 July 2025 — despite me saying it.

This is a blatant attempt to censor me and rewrite the record.

This is not how a democracy behaves.

We will not be silenced.

The Greens are now the main anti-genocide party in the UK with Z Polanski leading the effort. All Labour and Lib Dems should forget outdated party labels and loyalties and support Greens. A labour party that supports genocide is not Labour. A silent LIb-Dem party is not effective

This move needs to be viewed in light of the sustained crackdowns on protest we have seen from successive govts over recent years - and the worrying fact that there are more and more non-violent protestors spending years in prison

CND condemns the move to ban Palestine Action. Non-violent direct action at military bases has a strong history within our society - from Greenham Common through to many other RAF bases today. Peaceful action to stop war and genocide is not terrorism.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.

They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.

They were gunned down and murdered instead.

What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Elbit Systems: war criminals and genocidaires face financial woes “An unfortunate tendency to crash”

Elbit systems is financially crashing internationally!

BDS pressure is the most direct way of depriving Israel’s genocidal military of the weapons it uses to massacre, maim, and forcibly displace Palestinians.

"Maybe here's the point. We've seen what happens when these guys are not at work. There was a public health emergency. They are therefore vital public service workers. Why should their wages be therefore cut to only just above min wage levels?"

Both Pat and Roger are seeking support from law firms to challenge their absurd and unlawful detentions. But these services are not free. We are hoping that the legal challenges will be straightforward and that £5,000 will cover their fees.

Sarah Jones says Unite needs to call off the strike in Birmingham & accept the offer (which members just rejected by 97%)

Jones, from the party of organised labour, who earns over £120,000/year & who just got a 2.8% pay rise, telling workers on much less to accept a pay cut
