A call for peace. A call for justice. A call to end the genocide. @pscupdates.bsky.social

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.

Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Keir Starmer wants to talk about disgraceful? Try standing with Netanyahu during a genocide. Arming Israel. Sharing intelligence. Refusing to rule out joining an illegal war. That’s the real disgrace.

A reminder that this petition still needs your signature…

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US. ‪@jamesmaccleary.bsky.social‬

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

Nuclear-armed Israel is looking to drag Britain into its illegal attack on Iran. Rather than discussing whether he'll join the US in this disasterous war, Keir Starmer should be looking for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Read more: cnduk.org/no-war-on-ir...

📢Join us this Saturday to call on the British government to end its support for nuclear-armed Israel. No more nuclear hypocrisy! #StopArmingIsrael ⏰ 21 June, 12PM 📍 Russell Square, London

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Since Lloyds closed their branch in Worle there is no longer a bank in the village. This is causing problems for those living, working, and running businesses in the area. Please support the campaign for the establishment of a banking hub in Worle by signing this petition. tinyurl.com/yst4mvkk

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

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.

The Independent Alliance’s “Journalism During a Genocide” which suggests questions intended to hold the prime minister to account can be found here:- ugc.production.linktr.ee/2dc5e916-6c0...

Today, the Independent Alliance delivered media handbooks to mainstream press outlets, suggesting basic ways they could hold the Prime Minister to account over Gaza. You can read the full handbook here: linktr.ee/jeremycorbyn

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

This week, a report revealed that UK companies are still shipping arms to Israel despite the government's partial ban and assurances that remaining shipments are mostly “defensive in nature”. I’ve put my name to this letter calling for an explanation.

I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension. If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.

On 5 May 2016 the red-trousered mayor of Bristol, George Ferguson, failed in his bid for re-election. On 8 May I photographed this pair of red trousers flying from a flagpole overlooking College Green. #RedTrousers #Bristol #Photojournalism

Israel has announced plans to invade, clear and occupy the Gaza strip, driving Palestinians into the south. This is ethnic cleansing. Our government should be naming it and doing everything in its power to stop it, including sanctions and an end to arms sales.

The Israeli government is starving Gaza's entire population. It has now announced plans to invade and occupy the whole strip, forcing further displacement. What additional proof is needed that this is genocide? Why isn’t our government doing everything it can to stop this?

NEW: The BBC has been told to 'get a spine' after it emerged that a documentary on the destruction of the health service in Gaza has been shelved by the broadcaster

I missed Bristol Jack in the Green again this year, but he seems to have coped without me.

I photographed this placard at a demonstration against the Tory government on 29 April 2017. Eight years later we have a Labour government, but very little seems to have changed. #ToriesOut #Demonstration #Bristol #Photojournalism

Whenever there’s an election Bristol City Council brings out a giant dummy ballot box in an attempt to persuade us to vote. Here it is on 27 April 2016. #Election #BallotBox #Bristol #Photojournalism

On 8 April 2017 I was in Bristol photographing a demonstration against the use of chemical weapons in Syria. #Demonstration #ChemicalWeapons #Syria #Bristol #Photojournalism

There is credible evidence that British citizens fighting for the IDF have committed war crimes in Gaza. These individuals must be pursued with the full force of the law and brought back to face justice.

Tens of thousands of pissed off New Yorkers #HandsOff

#HandsOff NYC epic crowd

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Incredible turnout at the #HandsOff rally in Boston

The #HandsOff rally in Chicago is packed!

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

This is Salt Lake City, Utah. Amazing turnout for #HandsOff rally in a deep red state.

On 30 March 2019 I photographed a protest against climate change organised by Extinction Rebellion Weston-super-Mare. Six years later nothing much has changed. #ExtinctionRebellion #Protest #ClimateChange #WestonSuperMare #Photojournalism

🚨 CONFIRMED: Social security for disabled people has been slashed in the Spring Statement. This is cruel, irresponsible and shameful. People at food banks are already telling us that they’re terrified about how they will survive.

If you are considering a trip to the US, please reconsider. Why reward Donald Trump’s America with your tourist dollars? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/18/us-trump-boycott

COVID, flu, measles, and all airborne viruses can seriously harm anyone, not just people who are immunocompromised. EVERYONE has a medical reason to wear a mask at any time and in any place.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

RFK isn’t capable of doing the job that he’s been given and he’s a danger to us all.

Israel has broken the ceasefire, killing 400 Palestinians in Gaza and injuring over 500. The death toll and humanitarian catastrophe is worsening by the hour. The UK must finally demand accountability for Israel's war crimes, strengthen sanctions and ban all arms sales.

I remain gravely concerned by today’s welfare announcement, to put it mildly. Cutting social security for disabled people will only deepen poverty and inequality. This wasn’t in our manifesto and it isn’t what people voted for when they elected a Labour government.

There is an alternative to the government's cruelty: treat disabled people with care, dignity and respect. My piece for @mirror.co.uk www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
