The UK must deploy every single lever to end the genocide in Gaza and stop the expansion of Israeli occupation. That includes ending all arms sales and military cooperation, imposing tough sanctions on all responsible for war crimes, and banning imports from illegal settlements.

I welcome the fact that the UK has finally recognised the State of Palestine. This is a long-overdue affirmation of Palestinian dignity after decades of dispossession and suffering. It is one small step towards justice; but the UK can and should do far more.

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills. The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

🌍 Stopping the Boats Starts with Justice It’s simple to stop the boats: ✔️ Create safe routes for those seeking safety. ✔️ Stop waging wars and destabilising countries. ✔️ End the UK’s complicity in genocide in Palestine. #ClimateJustice #RefugeesWelcome #StopTheBoats #FreePalestine

"defence contracts with Palantir, who have deeply problematic relationships with the Israeli govt, who are engaging in an ongoing genocide" @ZackPolanski on Trumps visit Madeley: you could make a personal case against lots of past presidents. Richard getting there. Say political & you're spot on!

Something lurks beneath this message. Flat screen TV's are plentiful and cheap, as are cheap smart phones. It's almost as if some want to make sure that *certain* information reaches as many as possible even when shelter, food and healthcare are becoming harder to obtain.

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

One of the reasons we shouldn't invite authoritarians to the UK - ABC barred from Trump’s UK press conference after his clash with Australian journalist John Lyons www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Oh look – it is the beginning of what @georgemonbiot.bsky.social calls an onanocracy – including one guy suing another for $15bn for pointing out he’s a pervert, but all friends in power really.

The reason left-wing censorship originally got so much attention was it was "man bites dog". All the articles a decade ago were based on the premise that we expect this from the right but the left should be better. So when the right does it, it's not a reaction — it's what they've always done.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Now we need to act without further hesitation. 🇵🇸 Recognise Palestine ❌ End arms sales to Israel ❌ Proscribe the IDF ❌ Expel the Israeli ambassador and place full sanctions on Israel ✅ Conduct a full investigation into British complicity in Genoicde www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This happened yesterday but with this news cycle...just so much happening. So I'm sharing now. We need to keep saying that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The UN issued a report: 4 of the 5 genocidal acts have been carried out since the start of the war. ...

It’s time we believed Labor when they tell us they are quite happy to see countless people, not to speak of creatures, die in fires, floods, droughts and storms, so as to enable the fossil fuel industry to keep making profits a while longer. The old world is dead. Time to birth the new.

I looked in vain for a snappy soundbite from @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social about how the police shouldn't be arresting people for this stuff. But, of course, he's fine with incitement to violence - just so long as it's against trans people. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Conservatives started this experiment. But Labour are fully on board too. No 10 refuse to comment or take action - but we're all paying the price for corporate greed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Britain's finest hour was when it stood up to Hitler's fascism at a very high cost. Britain's most shameful hour is failing to stand up to Trump's proto fascism in case it upsets him and he punishes us. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/sta...

What’s on the menu? The UK. That’s what’s on the menu.

Look at the guest list & seating arrangement for Trump's lavish state banquet: Starmer beside Stephen Schwarzman, CEO Blackstone investment group. Kemi Badenoch next to Sam Altman, chief exec OpenAI. Rupert Murdoch next to Morgan McSweeney. Apple boss Tim Cook. Jensen Huang, chief exec Nvidia. 🤮

You can watch the big ‘Together for Palestine’ concert here in Wembley Arena, London, at 7pm UK time/2pm ET. Some big names speaking and performing from Benedict Cumberbatch to Florence Pugh to Damon Albarn to Mos Def to Riz Ahmed to Guy Pearce. (And me.) www.youtube.com/live/RWBVHFv...

UN says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. As does Amnesty, ICJ, Israeli human rights org B'TSalem, hundreds of global humanitarian orgs, & virtual every global scholar on genocide. If you're still in denial, it means either every global org is lying—or you're on the wrong side of history.

Together For Palestine is now live on Brian Eno's YouTube channel. Riz Ahmed co-hosting. 9,778 watching so far. Surely we can do better than that?

Detained people without lawyers are only given a few days' notice of the intention to send them to France. In this time they need to find a lawyer, who will then need to gather evidence and consider whether there is a claim. Of course court applications are being made only shortly before removal.

THIS IS A BIG DEMO #TRUMP

🔴Trump Protest Van Highlighting Epstein Links Was Blocked by Police Within Minutes of Approaching Windsor Castle Officers drove away the van showing an image of the US President with the convicted paedophile as nearby activists and journalists were questioned bylinetimes.com/2025/09/17/t...

Together, we can stop the rise of authoritarianism.

While the red carpet is being rolled out for President Donald Trump, thousands take to the streets to say: expect resistance. We must come together to resist the attacks on the rights of refugees, women, trans people and people of colour across our country and the world.

"There’s something very sinister.....when peaceful protest becomes terrorism: when an ad van going around Windsor Castle perfectly legally is stopped by the police, taken away, and those people prevented from expressing a point of view" Jeremy Corbyn www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

All good natured and no pissing up walls.

Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding. He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

"Our country has a proud tradition of standing up for the underdog. Today, that means standing up to the bully Donald Trump and his poodle, Nigel Farage." @zackpolanski.bsky.social addresses the @ukstoptrump.bsky.social rally in Parliament Square.

Queen

"Welcome to the UK, where the state will happily host a man who, amongst other things: - has committed to "drill, baby, drill" - supports genocide - was best friends with a child sex offender and trafficker Whilst also happily arresting people with placards & projectors." @juststopoil.bsky.social

Never before has a State visit to the UK been held completely away from the Public Even in his first visit Donald Trump met the Public But this time he hides in Windsor Castle and then he goes to Chequers which both have vast private estates, then he flees back to the USA

Some highlights from the anti-Trump demo

On todays Stop Trump march in London

The brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at Stop Trump tears into this government. ‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’

"Stop giving power to people who don't believe in science or worse than that, pretend they don't believe in climate change for their own self-interest." Harrison Ford There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #biodiversity #dumptrump

JD Vance has arrived in Parliament Square 🇬🇧 👏

NEW: As Trump heads for a state dinner in Windsor Castle, the anti-Trump protest on the streets of London is growing. (🎥 Alex Seale)

Whether it's on the radio, television or at the rally - it's all the same message. Yes - we should have diplomatic relationships with Presidents. No - to state visits for Trump who doesn't in any way reflect our British values. Why are we normalising this man?

Chris Mason’s most sycophantic, Reform cheerleading dressed up as journalism yet❗️😡 This affected, faux intellectual, glib little git is paid £270K by licence payers to portray 4 MP far right wing political party as a major political force.. Which has a small % of councillors who quit weekly 😤

THIS IS THE CROWD THAT HAS KEPT TRUMP OUT OF LONDON

Still here at Parliament Square!

Said hello to @femi-oluwole.bsky.social and @zoejardiniere.bsky.social (totally fan girled both) Now excitingly waiting to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Keir Starmer showing his priorities. Protecting Epstein clients is his top priority. Cost of living for hard working families - not a priority at all. A truly disgusting human.
