Local county elections and, in Preston, there are 4 independent socialist candidates

I did this interview with Holocaust survivor (and Palestinian activist) Stephen Kapos …

Election week 1 video round up.

Last night Israel murdered 80 children in 50 minutes. Let that sink in. 80 in 50 minutes

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now. Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government. What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising. 🇷🇸

Very impressive 25th national demonstration for Palestine today…

I know where I stand on austerity. That's why I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap, opposed the means-testing for winter fuel payments, & will vote against cuts to welfare & disability benefits. Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, the government should tax the rich.

My interview with a Palestinian from Tulkarem in the West Bank - looking at the horrors being inflicted in the city by occupation forces www.counterfire.org/article/they...

Half of Generation Z think that Britain is a racist country and only a tenth would risk their lives to defend it in a war, landmark research for The Times has shown

Israeli army attacks have forced nearly three-thirds of Palestinian residents from their homes in the occupied West Bank's Tulkarem refugee camp, according to a local official. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/qjmqqv

If you have 10 minutes you really need to watch this. It looks at Starmer's authoritarian turn against our basic and fundamental rights. Watch it, share it and let's get it out so we can defend our right to protest. youtu.be/2k6pmbagWKM?...

Israel’s forcible shutdown of the UN’s humanitarian work in Gaza and the occupied West Bank would put the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hamas at risk, warns the UN Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA) aje.io/7u5jv2

Yesterday I attended the Westminster vigil to remember the victims of Bloody Sunday. 53 years on, justice is still denied and the fight for truth and accountability continues.

Now 15 trade unions join calls demanding an inquiry into Met's handling of Palestine march Trade unions warn that heavy-handed policing, followed by the construction of false media narratives, are not acceptable from the Met Police www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Watch Chris Nineham's address to the packed emergency Defend the Right to Protest rally held on Saturday in response to the oppressive policing and arrests at our national Palestine protest on 18 January. #RightToProtest #DropTheCharges www.stopwar.org.uk/article/chri...

Remembering the victims of genocide... Jewish, Cambodian, Rwanda, Bosnian, Darfari, Palestinian & more. How did we let it happen? Why do we continue to remain silent. 'Never again for anyone'!

"I’d crawl if I had to. What matter is that I go back and check on my home." Displaced Palestinians eager to return to northern Gaza aje.io/24ul7y

Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight. Could not make this up.

To defend Palestine we must defend the right to protest.

"Every day, the occupation [army] arrests 30 to 40 or even 50 new prisoners." Israel has arrested more Palestinians than it has released as a result of its ceasefire deal with Hamas ⤵️ aje.io/kqftig

The National March for Palestine (London, 18/01/2025). Probably the most inappropriate, disproportionate policing I've seen in the UK for an entirely peaceful demonstration, causing Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch to raise concerns.

Corbyn and McDonnell leave police station after being INTERVIEWED UNDER CAUTION by Met A direct assault on freedom of assembly and democracy. The police’s actions, including their false statements after the event, are a damning indictment of Starmer's government. www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

The Met Police has promoted a misleading narrative about the events that followed yesterday’s national demonstration for Palestine. Please see below response from @pscupdates.bsky.social 👇
