For those who have forgotten, in 1953, the USA and UK led a coup d'état in Iran which overthrew the democratically elected secular PM Mohammad Mosaddegh—to install the autocratic rule of the shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and thereby protect British oil interests in Iran. #StandWithIranians #EndAllWars

What we’re witnessing is the result of Israel acting with impunity. It is committing genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank & has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen & Iran without any accountability. The UK must end ALL arms sales, sanction Israel & expel its ambassador.

Do we understand yet why Corbyn could never be allowed near power? Sanity – or just simple restraint – disqualifies one from membership of the cabal running the West's war machine.

Dr Assal Rad— "Look at the framing in U.S. media. "Israel “targets nuclear sites,” Iran “fires at Israel.” This language is deliberately used to justify Israel’s illegal attacks, while ignoring civilians killed and residential buildings targeted in Iran."

The new Macklemore video everyone’s talking about. You might think it’s about Palestine, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about social media controlling what we see, hear, and think. It’s a call to action. Whew… “fucked up.” youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

If we want public transport to be the first and best option for regular journeys then it must be accessible, reliable and affordable. Bringing ScotRail into public ownership was the right choice, but now we must invest in building a modern, affordable rail network.

Throughout Israel's destruction of Gaza, the UK has repeatedly refused to say Israel is violating international law. Now it tells the UN that 2025 should be a year "in the service of the rule of law". The Foreign Office is a joke. www.gov.uk/government/s...

The last image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — detained by Israel for refusing to abandon patients — defines 2024. It’s a testament to Palestinian resilience & a damning indictment of those enabling genocide, including the UK government. In 2025, the fight for justice continues.

Tax. The. Rich. There's more than enough money in the UK to fund our public services, build up our infrastructure and transition to a greener economy. The problem is that so much of it is hoarded by a tiny number of extremely wealthy people.
