Amir walked 12km to get some bread for his mother. The IDF then shot and killed him. A barefoot Amir kissed a US soldier's hand after he received his aid. Then, the IDF shot and killed him as he was walking away.

One of thousands murdered with the support & cover of the UK government

13,000 more families were hit by the two-child benefit cap in the past year.

Dark rumours from the DWP that not cutting PIP means keeping the cap cannot come to pass.

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

β€œI oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Labour is dead.

We need a Red-Green Alliance to tax the rich, invest in people and services, support public ownership, stop arming genocide.

Marie Tidball MP’s powerful speech shows the growing resistance, in Parliament & the country, to the Govt’s attack on disabled people.

They forced this Bill through with unwritten promises of improvement.

The reality remains: cuts for people who are ill are still on the table.

Really important Labour are not allowed to pretend this is all Rachel Reeves fault.

We have a Prime Minister & an entire party who chose to protect wealth of the super rich & target the poorest and disabled.

No wonder the entire country wants a totally different politics.

YouTube video by Double Down News Sharing This Video Could Get You 14 Years in Prison

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.

Imagine a world, where the wealthy few paid their fair share, so that the many could live their lives free from the burden of poverty and living pay cheque to pay cheque.

Wealth like this is obscene - the workers who enable this man’s bank account to grow should be paid a fair wage!

Let's be crystal clear that Cooper is implementing this measure in defence of British collusion in genocide.

Its difficult to imagine a more thoroughly risible bid for the moral high ground.

At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers went to Congress for authorization. Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval is illegal. Full stop.

But he’s never been held accountable for any of the illegal things he’s done in his life so why not drag us all down with him

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it.

That’s not β€œimmigration enforcement.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.

Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.

Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.

The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.
