A Member of Labour Friends of Israel banning a group called Palestine Action smells of Prejudice , Racism and Corruption . Maybe it should be challenged in Court !

Shocking to hear David Lammy refuse to answer the question about whether the US attack on Iran is legal or not This cowardice in the face of US tyranny will not serve our country or the world well We need a government that will defend the international legal order #BBCR4Today

I think most members of the public would be surprised to discover that homeless accommodation in Dublin is run on a privatised for profit basis. Govt pays €65/night, so a 50 person hostel (say 12 rooms of 4 or 6 beds) turns over about €1.2mn a year.

Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just £250k. This would cost the country an estimated £34 billion in lost revenue. Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

"The UK's average temperature has risen by 1.2°C since the 1960s. That may sound modest, but in climate terms, it's seismic. The difference between our current climate and the last ice age was only about 6°C." 😯

@greenmirandahere.bsky.social Slightly missing from the debate about the Scottish IndyRef was the solemn promise that only by voting no could Scotland remain in the EU. 24 months later England voted to leave. Something unionists carefully ignore with the “will of the people” narrative.

Temperatures soaring, wildfires burning, crops failing. Every new oil field will make the crisis worse. I've written to energy minister Michael Shanks to seek assurance that following the new ‘scope 3’ emissions guidance, govt will reject any application to drill Rosebank or Jackdaw #StopRosebank

🚨 63% of public transport workers experienced violence at work last year. And 85% were attacked more than once. This is a crisis. It’s time for #ActionAgainstAssaults. Read RMT's shocking new survey issuu.com/rmtunion/doc...

The only way to truly make Brexit work... ...is to bury it six feet under and join the EU as full members again. That way Brexit can fulfil its true function as a blip in history that serves as an important cautionary tale.

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.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I’m not really “DEEP STATE!” guy. But if you ever wanted evidence there’s a shadowy cabal of hidden characters who really run the show You wouldn’t have to look much further than the Anti-War president flipping, bombing Iran & the Human Rights lawyer PM cheering him on - both ignoring a Genocide.

Keir Starmer is calling for Iran to “return to the negotiating table”. But is he also calling for those Iranian negotiators to be safe from Israeli assassinations? Because that what happened to the previous Iranian negotiators. It’s ridiculous.

I can't believe it needs to be said, least of all to a Labour Government, but we should be tougher on genocide than peaceful protest against genocide.

🚊 I dropped by the Coventry Very Light Rail demo this week, an exciting project that could transform transport in cities across the UK. The lightweight, low-cost track could be a game changer for cleaner, more affordable travel. And yes, I got to sit in the driver’s seat! 😎

WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION The suggestion to consider Palestine Action as a proscribed group is a gross violation of UK law, opposes the definition of what a terrorist actually does, and insults the memories of victims both of genuine terrorism and of the genocide in Palestine. 1/3
