Precisely! This was homicide, committed by ICE, and supported by Trump, showing his routine disregard for human life.

Cruel & inhumane- it shows how atrocities go ahead in plain sight at the hands of ordinary people, including those in bureaucratic jobs - presumably someone pressed send on the letter. Thinking of his family.

Any news outlet that values truth should state unequivocally that US government officials are lying when they say that Renee Nicole Good tried to harm the ICE thug who killed her. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Young people turning 20 this year will have been aware of literally nothing but cuts and communities forced into hardship for their whole lives. My new year wish is for austerity to finally be shown the door. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2573870...

Epstein seems to have been relegated down the news agenda.

Infrastructure in UK cities after several years of cuts is an absolute embarrassment. Today I saw a child and an elderly person fall in icy pavements, and a working age neighbour off with a foot injury. At best, this shows a systemic short sighted way to govern. Another reading is deadly neglect.

Netanyahu’s extremist government continues to colonise the West Bank, while his Western supporters and ‘peacemakers’ continue to treat him as if he isn’t a war criminal. www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

After the Home Office introduced a new Crime and Policing Bill amendment to create a criminal offence of protesting outside the home of someone in public office, Netpol asked how many arrests had already been made for such protests, justifying the need for another new law. This data does not exist

How does the UK treat peaceful protesters who stood up against genocide? Even the most conservative reading can see these are political prisoners. Sometimes it’s hard to remember we are in the year 2025… Dystopian! Sister of Palestine Action-linked prison hunger striker says she fears for his life

Fewer workers. Fewer international students. More people leaving. A "step in the right direction" according to the PM. Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today I asked the Government why it is creating an authoritarian toolkit 👇

Hope leads to action. Stop listening to paralysing pessimism. Keep believing with an open mind that another path is possible.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion. This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Labour’s awful migrant policies are helping pave the way for the racist far right. And they are also building a gold-plated shed at the end of that road - full of tools for a far right Govt to oppress us all. 🕵️ Digital ID database 📸 High St facial rec 👨‍⚖️ Removing trial by jury

Possibly the best book I read in 2025 - Slobodian’s “Hayek’s Bastards” powerfully deconstructs far-right ideologies about hard-wired borders, culture and money! Everyone should read this book

Migration policies in the UK seem to be constantly seeking more ways to create misery - an ongoing battle of threats against the human rights. Christopher Bertram hit the nail on the head. ‘Core Protection’ - really well explained. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/no...

The UK should be more than embarrassed, not only about the disproportionate & inappropriate response to solidarity/activists, but also about the horrendous conditions imposed, especially the extremely long wait for a trial - inhumane novaramedia.com/2025/11/11/p...

In Harrietsham, Kent, the council is unable to put up Christmas lights because far right activists have fixed flags to the lampposts. They say they are also unable to remove the flags as they don’t own them or the lampposts. They’ve asked whoever put them up to please take them down.

There are not enough words to express the anger about the largest police inflicted massacre in Rio (at least 132 dead), mothers finding their sons dead with signs of torture, bodies left to die, sickening far-right politicians celebrating. www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/20...

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun? Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

www.theguardian.com/world/commen... Starmerite plumbing of the depths of cruelty never reaches bottom. Demanding immigrants hoping for citizenship must pass A level - in subjects deemed ‘useless’ in other parts of policy - is blatantly racist. Why not ask this of Maccabi fans?

When my children reach my age, they will be living in an extremely harsher environment. Not acting now will be way more costly than working to address climate issues! UK must prepare buildings for 2C rise in global temperature, government told

2/2 Posh, wealthy men who control right wing politics & most print & broadcast media can persuade working class men & women to turn a blind eye to their accumulation of yet more millions with all sorts of tax avoidance measures. They avoid any accountability, www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

RESHUFFLE: having built a reputation for complicity in genocide by banning or criminalising protest groups, Yvette Cooper is now off to the Foreign Office to do nothing whatsoever to stop Israel on the international stage

Almost 50% of lab workers identify as neurodiverse. So what difference could it make for research organisations to fully embrace neurodiversity in their workplace culture? We supported the John Innes Centre to implement a project aiming to do just that 👇

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again. These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration. He has to go.

Brazilian Foreign Ministry says international community ‘cannot remain inactive’ in the face of ‘ongoing atrocities’.

I’m in agreement with Gina Romero: “profiting from the […] curtailing of human rights is despicable” British law firm coached universities on how to obtain sweeping protest bans

LBC, in a rare moment of honesty, reported: "The protest, which started relatively peacefully, quickly turned chaotic when police stormed into the crowd... after one of them allegedly pushed a police officer... It is unclear if a police officer was actually pushed" www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
