Israeli forces shot and killed 13-year-old Palestinian boy Ammar Hamail as he was walking with a friend near Kafer Malek Village in the occupied West Bank.

I'm increasingly confused about who the actual Prime Minister is. Looks like I share this confusion with Morgan McSweeney.

The grieving parents of five-month-old Nidal Shurrab said a heartbreaking goodbye after he died from severe malnutrition and a critical lack of baby formula.

BREAKING: Sir Ed Davey calls on Government to pull Welfare Bill

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Israeli forces have murdered a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank. They shot him in the neck Over the past 20 months Israeli soldiers & settlers have killed almost 1,000 men, women and children across the occupied West Bank.

Karma Shehadeh, an infant, was killed when an Israeli airstrike struck her family’s home in the Nuseirat refugee camp, located in central Gaza.

What a fantastic art and film session we had for Refugee Week last week 🤩 Thanks to St Luke's for the incredible space, Eastern Oven for the food, Leeds Uni for the art supplies and Leeds International Film Festival for support! A true showcase of community coming together 🧡

Today the Hainault attacker, a vile piece of shit who killed a schoolboy, a cat and scarred for many police officers for life, appeared in count. He’s white, his victim was a young black boy. Did it all kick off? Of course not. But yeah, those riots definitely weren’t racist.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Keir Starmer’s most senior aide is facing mounting criticism from Labour MPs and ministers over the handling of welfare reforms, with some suggesting that the time has come for “regime change” in No 10 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The UK is to substantially expand its nuclear deterrent by buying a squadron of American-made fighter jets that are capable of delivering US tactical warheads that are likely to be stored on British soil. Fuck them not in my name

UK will buy 12 of the F-35A jets, Link those paragraphs together, and what is clear is that we're paying £1.2 billion for the privilege of acting as couriers for US nuclear weapons. We won't control them. We can't fire them. We just deliver them.

My MP, @fabianhamilton.bsky.social is already opposing it. Thank you Fabian

Israel is targeting children in Gaza tonight.

Medical sources in Gaza report that more than 77 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip since the early hours of this morning.

Israeli forces shot and killed 15-year-old Palestinian boy Rayan Hawshiya during a raid on the town of Yamoun, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

Today, I asked the Deputy PM if she would support an independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in Israeli war crimes. She refused to answer. Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to shield itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in hiding the truth.

What's the link between David Lammy and United Health, an enormous American private healthcare company?🚨 Lammy received £67,674 from Labour Together between Jan 2023 + March 2025. Labour Together is a think tank previously run by Keir Starmer’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney..

Our privatised water system is broken - but water companies are doing everything they can to keep the Ponzi scheme staggering on. A solution exists. Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Funerals should just be car boot sales of all your stuff with a jacket potato and real ale stall, and everyone can wander round your stuff reminiscing about how weird you were, and wondering why you’ve so many sea-salt dispensers. The family can keep the money or donate it to charity.

Israeli occupation bulldozers are tearing down a two-storey home belonging to a Palestinian family in the village of Hazma, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.

A Palestinian teenager is currently in a coma after being shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while attempting to collect aid at a designated distribution site.

Had the Suffragettes only engaged in peaceful protest,the state would have crushed them, & ironically Yvette Cooper wouldn’t be able to vote, let alone become Home Sec. We all owe a debt to direct action & unpeaceful protest. #protest #palestineaction #ukterrorlaws #policestate

A huge thank you to everybody that came out to enjoy a stunning piece of cinema, We Dare to Dream 😍 A special thank you to Hyde Park Picturehouse, LASSN and LIFF who have supported this event, and a huge thank you to Oscar who talked about his own asylum journey and Paralympian experience 🎉

At least 51 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip since dawn today, including 32 civilians who were seeking humanitarian aid, according to medical sources in Gaza.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Starmer and Reeves are doing great Absolute poverty: UK sees biggest rise for 30 years This means the rate of absolute poverty in the UK now stands at 18% Almost 1 in 5 people the number of children of working-age adults in poverty rose by approximately 300,000. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-6862...

If true this is disgraceful. Punishing Labour MP’s for refusing to plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty is not what the public expects from a Labour government www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Amidst shameful media neglect of genocide in #Gaza, there has been a consistent exception: the UK’s Channel 4 News. Today’s report on the daily killings by Israelis of the starving queuing for food aid. Wait for the UN assessment at the end. This is a difficult but essential watch. Pls share.

Do NOT forget Gaza. "I am Waseem... I am married and am a father of three... I was living a beautiful life and I was working in an accounting company. The war came and I was forced to flee... [We] lived in a tent... They bombed the area... After that, [we] lived in the street"

The UK Government is considering deeper involvement in the Middle East, but war with Iran would be catastrophic for global peace and for people here at home. We can’t make the same mistakes again. We have to say: not in our name.
