British.

1500 people have been arrested under terrorism laws in the UK- for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide whether to prosecute them. We need to urge them not to. Add your name to the letter. www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

At 78 years old, Susan Sarandon is still standing up for justice. My respect for her continues to grow with every move she makes. The embodiment of courage ❤️

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

As the US & UK say Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon, Israel is awaiting the delivery later this year of its German-built sixth submarine, set to carry nuclear arms. UK ministers have authorised dozens of exports of components for Israeli subs. www.declassifieduk.org/britain-is-a...

BBC coverage of Israel's war on Gaza 'systematically biased against Palestinians' www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-cov...

Met Police putting Israeli apartheid tanks on our streets is just part of its complicity with war crimes In total, the Met Police has ordered 18 SandCats, which Israeli occupation forces have long tested on Palestinians. So yes, the Met Police is funding genocide. www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Looking at the more recent past, departmental spending growth under Rachel Reeves will be lower than when Rishi Sunak was chancellor. 2/2

This may not be an austerity #SpendingReview, but it certainly isn't the start of a decade of renewal. Departmental spending will be increasing at its lowest rate since the 2015 spending review from George Osbourne. 1/2

What's not to like?

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

A 63-Year-Old Medical Worker Spent Three Months as a Human Shield for Israeli Brigades in Gaza www.dropsitenews.com/p/palestinia...

Advice for trans families facing referrals to social services NHS England is misusing health data to encourage social services to investigate families caring for trans kids. This misconduct is driven by ideologues in the NHS who, as Kemi Badenoch stated, were handpicked for their anti-trans views.

The bill removes protections for SSSIs under Section 28. It's written in the bill. It couldn't be clearer.

Just think how many more jobs the same money spent on home insulation would fund. It's not job creation. It's an insult

This is #Genocide being committed by #Israel www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

Watch this bit of inside Gaza's crisis hospitals. Weep, and then get angry and Call for the BBC to show the documentary Campaign for peace and justice for Palestine youtu.be/bXJ-b_73GRo?...

NATO's increase in weapons is expected to be responsible for more than half the UK's total CO2 emissions (200 Mtonne eq vs 380 Mtonne eq) thereby destroying the world and making conflict more likely! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🦩The #FlamingoLand decision isn’t set in stone yet. Until it is, Scottish Government ministers have the power to change the decision. That’s why we need as many people as possible to write to Planning Minister Ivan McKee, telling him he needs to act now. Add your name: greens.scot/LochLomond

"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb." – Dr. Feroze Sidhwa

[email protected] are right - exempting small sites means almost three-quarters of developments would face no requirement to compensate for nature loss - let alone enhance it. Government pledges to restore nature clearly aren’t worth the paper they were written on

A British surgeon currently in Gaza: "These children are so malnourished they are wasting away. Its shocking to see this degree of malnutrition..." Israel is deliberately starving over 2 million people. Half of them are children. And the UK govt is helping them while they do it.

This is what #Genocide looks like

"We need to make sure that the aid does get through. Babies are facing starvation imminently." - Oxfam CEO Halima Begum #StopArmingIsrael SIGN: bit.ly/Add_your_name

The UK Government has suspended UK-Israel free trade talks and committed to further restrictive measures — but it’s not enough. The time for further action is now. End arms sales to Israel. No weapons. No complicity. Not in our name. #StopArmingIsrael #CeasefireNow

Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard. Add your own name here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sign the petition now to show the public still backs this nature-friendly fix: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/swifts-p...

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

Gaza doctor receives charred bodies of her 9 children while on duty Paediatrician Alaa al-Najjar was treating victims of Israeli attacks when her children were killed by a strike on their home. Unimaginable horror & cruelty. #Genocide with impunity. www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-do...

Keir starmer sees everything about votes. Eliminating (or reducing) poverty isn't seen as a good thing, but a vote winner or loser. The man has no morals and no purpose. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
