Oh God, the UK's Zone Fever is primed to get even worse with Starmer at the helm. Launched in February 2025 under Starmer’s “AI Opportunities Action Plan,” AI Growth Zones are pitched as innovation hubs to make Britain an “AI superpower.” Thread, please read/share because things are moving fast

Music has the power to bring our communities together. It was an honour to speak at Wide Awake in Brockwell Park and support artists in calling for an end to all arms sales to Israel and the occupation of Palestine 🇵🇸

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the REUL Bill. Until June 2026, Starmer can allow ministers to amend or axe these laws with minimal scrutiny. The 3 key areas targeted are: Food safety, environmental protections, and employment rights. What is REUL?👇👀 open.substack.com/pub/european...

People often ask me 'Can the UK rejoin the EU while shackled by 86 deregulated Free Zones? No, it can't, the UK would have to realign its free zones with the EU Parliament's regulations, which prohibit the use of State aid for profit motives, why? 1/3 www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en...

Western capitals are still coordinating with Israel and the US on their sudden 'criticisms' of the genocide – just as they coordinated on their support for the slaughter. Read my latest here: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-i...

What do you call the actions of a state that's destroyed another people's hospitals, blocked all food and water reaching them, and is now denying entry to foreign doctors to treat the sick, wounded and starving? Is it a war? Is it eliminating terrorists? Or is it genocide?

Netanyahu and his foreign minister, Gideon Saar, suggest criticism by western leaders of policies currently starving 14,000 babies to death in Gaza is behind the fatal shootings of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington. It's "antisemitic" to talk about those babies, it seems.

My latest article is free to read on Substack. It examines the relationships between deregulated free zones, corporate hegemony, and public services. Infrastructure is under attack by politicians working hand in hand with the asset classes. No one voted for this. open.substack.com/pub/european...

The media claims Gary Lineker has been pushed out after a "backlash" – as though you and I want him gone. No. Britain's genocide-supporting media manufactured the "backlash" it now cites as grounds for his departure.

Yes, BBC. It's been genuinely heroic the way Starmer and Lammy have hidden their anger towards Israel so completely until today – 19 months into the slaughter and starvation of Gaza's children.

Now is the time for lawful sanctions. When thousands of our babies are looking death in the eye because the Israeli occupation is denying all goods from entering Gaza, including baby formula and essential medical supplies, NEVER AGAIN IS NOW! #SanctionIsrael loom.ly/mJggH_s

You can't put a plaster on a festering gangrenous wound. Meanwhile, let’s talk money: your money. By 2024, the government had spent £19.78bn on freeports and SEZs. Imagine what £19.78bn could do for ordinary people. Thread publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5804/cm...

The slaughter is accelerating, Israel's genocidal meat machine is going berserk and Western leaders describe Israel's behaviour as "possibly in breach of International Law". Possibly? Possibly? Instead of cutting off all ties with Netanyahu they rap him with a warm lettuce...

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

I don't think people have the faintest idea of what's taking place post-Brexit. I'll put it simply. Zone Fever is here to stay, the UK is being carved up into patchworks of corporate fiefdoms, and taxpayers are footing the bill. No one voted for this.
