It's morally bankrupt to defend one authoritarian regime over another. A clip of Maryam Namazie's interview with Joy of Resistance. #Iran #US

Keir Starmer's PIP concessions aren't good news for anyone not yet disabled, because they will bear the price if and when they are. Labour should be ashamed if it falls for this. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

BOMBSHELL: Study Says 377,000 Palestinians K*LLED By lsrael www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ88...

Starmer supporters refuse to admit Starmer is an authoritarian bully at home and clueless on the world stage. They say β€œit’s democracy”, β€œhe’s being diplomatic” If this is how democracy (and diplomacy) works, the people of the UK are screwed.

This is why PIP cuts are so heinous and are so demonstrative of the incompetence and cruelty of a failed Government. Starmer and Reeves must go. They can take quite a few lickspittles with them too. Too many to name here. There is a plethora of better options. Nadia suggests just three here.

The government has announced a two-tier benefits system. Under its plans, you can keep your benefits if you are disabled now, but not if you become disabled tomorrow. How is that fair? A reminder: The Independent Alliance stands by its own amendment, and we will not back down.

I'm deeply concerned by reports that the Home Secretary plans to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. This is a shocking overreaction to a couple of protestors using paint. 1/2

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism! β€˜More than 50,000 innocent children have been killed or injured. In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now?’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dissent is treated as terrorism, while terrorism is just state policy. #PalestineAction

"Israel is not our saviour. When innocent people die, it's not a step toward freedom, it's another form of injustice. I don't want to trade one kind of terror for another. I'm against this regime and also against this war. We deserve a better way out than this."' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a Β£250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets What they don't say: it would cost the UK Β£34bn Report here, and thread below: buff.ly/gpe2Dpf

I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.

There is a negotiating table. The UK, EU, Iran are on that table. The US was, but withdrew. Israel blows up the table. US then blows up the entire building. UK, EU, US to Iran: come back to the negotiating table. Don’t worry, it’s safe. Meanwhile, Israel is the only MENA country with nukes.

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.

Well, this is a heartwarming story, isn't it? x www.normalisland.co.uk/p/serial-chi...

The European Union's report on Israel's human rights obligations has been leaked, and the verdict is clear: the State of Israel is in violation of Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The report recommends sanctions and other steps be taken, but it is unlikely that the EU will do so.

So far, strikes on Iran's facilities have created limited chemical and radiological hazards. Experts say that's not likely to change even if the U.S. uses a big bomb.

When your country’s leader is more enraged by a couple of tins of red paint than by images like this, day after day after day, it’s time to rise and change your leader.

This has a clip of an interview with a little girl who is starving whose family member went to get aid so they could eat and was murdered for it. Dozens, sometimes over a hundred murdered like this every day. This is a holocaust. Israel is implementing a final solution. Our leaders are silent.

I imagine lots of people will be by water this weekend - read this and share to stay safe πŸŠπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

BREAKING: The US has decided that nukes are so bad that it must nuke Iran to stop Iran from getting a nuke, otherwise Iran might do something really bad like use a nuke, and using nukes is really, really bad, unless we do it, in which case it's fine x

Politico: Up to 170 Labour MPs are thought to have signed letters to the whips opposing benefit cuts β€” "and they’re not too happy with...threats to kick them out of the parliamentary party if they defy orders" β€œYou can’t do that to 170 MPs,” one Lab MP said. β€œWe’ll just go off and form Labour 2” πŸ‘€
