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.

We are witnessing the first livestreamed genocide in history. Those who facilitate these crimes against humanity should face accountability — not those who have the humanity to oppose them. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

We’re told these welfare cuts are the start of “reform”. But what kind of reform starts by taking billions from those already struggling? If this is the plan - to balance the books by shredding an already ragged safety net - I won’t back it. Real reform uplifts. It doesn’t punch-down.

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This goes beyond complicity - it is direct, active participation in genocide. Labour is training, arming and providing intelligence to a military that is committing atrocities and violating the basic principles of human rights and international law. It must stop now.

I've just watched Attenborough's Oceans film. It's excellent. But my overwhelming feeling is "at last!" I've been waiting, and fruitlessly lobbying, for a film like this for 40 years. But the institutional cowardice of the broadcasters has stymied such projects, until now.

The British public wants to see tougher action from the government to put pressure on Israel. 65% back a FULL arms embargo. 62% back economic sanctions. 60% back the government suspending its trade agreement. It's time for actions, not words.

🔥 Well said these MPs. This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza. Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The interim report for the Government's "largest ever" review of water was released yesterday, but public ownership was ruled out from day one. Without that, it's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. There's something larger at play here.
