How would tougher powers for police affect protests in England and Wales? The home secretary has announced plans to allow officers to consider the impact of repeated demonstrations

Are you worried or confused about the proposed law to restrict 'cumulative protests'?

We've contributed to this article breaking down your protest rights and what this new law could mean

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

"Palestine remains the story"

As a protestor is carted off by police for holding a sign against genocide and the Palestine Action ban, she states that genocide in Gaza remains the story.

We won't be silenced whilst our government is participating in murdering Palestinians.

"The last remaining member of the Gaza skate team.”

Rajab Al-Reefi the founder and head coach of the Gaza Skate Team, is the last member of the Gaza skateboarding collective. Israel has killed all the children.

BREAKING: The police have confirmed they won't be charging any of the violent far-right rioters with terrorism because they only do that for grandmas in wheelchairs who hold up signs they don't like ♥️

"Lammy said.. that British spy planes were not being used to help Israels assault on Gaza. Do you believe him?"

Matt Kennard: "No. Its a straight lie"

Matt has been covering UK surveillance flights over Gaza & talks to Novaramedia‬ here.

A young, white woman in a food bank warehouse puts food on a shelf. Text is on top that reads: 'Breaking news' with a headline from BBC news: 'UK inflation unexpectedly jumps to 3.6% as food prices rise again'.

❗ Millions are already facing hunger and hardship.

Rising food prices will only add more pressure to families who are struggling to put food on the table.

This isn't right. Everyone should be able to afford the essentials they need to survive and live with dignity 💚

Arresting 83 year old reverends

Reverend Sue Parfitt, "I know that we are in the right place doing the right thing. As my friend Ruth always, we cannot be bystanders"

Shame on Labour

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food Witnesses and medics in Gaza say an Israeli airstrike on a seaside cafe has killed at least 30 people in Gaza City.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?

Rachel Shabi: "For 20mths we've been watching the most grotesque things.. slaughter, war crimes.. people are watching govts & media.. give financial/military support to Israel while it does this.. I respect any artist who uses their platform to call attention to this.."

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Why is Labour punishing disabled people but rewarding the wealthy?

Labour is cutting disability benefits to balance Rachel Reeves’ budget, while handing billions in tax breaks to the rich. In this video I explain why this is morally bankrupt, and why Labour’s 70 MPs who backed down have failed the poorest.

Why is Labour talking total economic nonsense to justify its desperate desire to keep children in poverty? Bridget Phillipson MP, who is the Education Secretary, is telling the morning media rounds that if the government were to restore the winter fuel allowance, and remove the two-child benefit cap, then ...

Labour is claiming that taking children and pensioners out of deep poverty will create economic collapse in the UK. That is total and utter drivel of the highest order. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...
