Black people in England are almost four times as likely to face #homelessness as white people and substantially less likely to get social housing, according to the first major study into homelessness and racism in more than two decades. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🚨 Police in Bedfordshire are working with tech giant Palantir to develop a surveillance network that will incorporate people's personal information... ...including health records, sex lives, and political opinions Read the full story libertyinvestigates.org.uk/articles/uk-...

🚨We will be attending with many others in solidarity today in Starmer's parish if anyone would like to join us... This is important! #WelfareNotWarfare

Only 26 MPs voted against the draft order to amend the Terrorism Act 2000 and proscribe Palestine Action. Westminster exists in a bubble, ignoring the anger and frustration around the country about Britain arming Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh ffs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

🚨More than 13,000 people were counted as sleeping rough in London over the last year... That figure represents a rise of 10% on the number of people counted in the previous year when numbers surged by 19% in a year alone. www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

Good to see so many gathering in solidarity now with @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social at Parliament Square. #WelfareNotWarfare

You keep telling us there are no simple solutions... ❌️ We beg to differ.

Palestine Action ban: what will it mean in practice? Our guide covers what won't be allowed after the ban comes into force. Counter-terror powers are used in an overtly racist & Islamophobic way- the policing situation is likely to be unstable once it's in force. netpol.org/2025/06/26/p...

🚨 The government is trying to ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws. This is yet ANOTHER way successive government's have been clamping down on our fundamental right to protest

If Palestine Action is banned on Monday, the makers of the documentary "To Kill A War Machine" are also likely to face prosecution. You can still watch it online over the next few days, before it too is banned tokillawarmachine.com

📣 Last week, Nick Bano spoke at Birkbeck, University of London's 'Law on Trial 2025: The Renters' Rights Bill and Beyond- The Future of Housing Justice' Nick and other speakers explored the practical outcomes of the bill, if passed, and the impact it will have on landlords and tenants.

"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor..." — Tupac Shakur #GiveAshift #SolidarityNotCharity

PM: Kneecap playing at Glastonbury is not appropriate. BBC: Showing a documentary about medics in Gaza is not appropriate. PUBLIC: arming a genocide is a thousand times worse than "not appropriate"

Targeting a protest group with terrorism powers in this way is a shocking escalation of the Government’s crackdown on protest and we urge the Home Secretary to rethink www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

600 preventable deaths if the government react correctly. The fact that it's poor people does appear to make it much more acceptable... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We're now out & about in #Camden from 630a.m on what should be the hottest day Thanks to your support we have LOTS of icey cold water, hot drinks and breakfasts to share. NO-ONE should have to be on the streets in this weather #GiveAshift

We can but hope adequate provisions will be put in place for those experiencing homelessness.. As yet we're not seeing much. This weather is life threatening #NoMoreDeathsOnOurStreets www.independent.co.uk/weather/ambe...

Respect Orders copy similar "anti-social behaviour" laws that are already used to target the poorest in society During this cost-of-living crisis, and at a time of record levels of homelessness, people need support, NOT punishment

🚨So far, only Hackney and Haringey councils have sent their #SWEP plans to us, as this heat reaches a dangerous level for those experiencing #homelessness. We will meet hundreds of people this weekend with very little advice to share... Not good enough!

We shouldn't be celebrating the possible end of the vagrancy act... We should be deeply ashamed it remained as a legislative stain on humanity for over 200 years. What's coming next?

Ahead of the #SpendingReview, the Govt must choose: 💷 Invest in specialist homelessness services ❌ Keep risking lives & wasting NHS resources We delivered an open letter to No. 10 last week, urging Govt to back their own promises. Let’s see if they do. #ASafePlaceToRecover

Next year... 🤦‍♂ This archaic inhumane law should be rescinded TODAY! www.gov.uk/government/n...

A record 124 journalists and media workers were killed in 2024 - nearly 70% of these were in Gaza. We must stand with journalists in Gaza, the wider occupied Palestinian territory, and everywhere press freedom is under attack. When journalism is silenced, so is justice.

📢 We need your help 📢 Too many people are discharged from hospital to the street. This is an inhumane and dangerous way to treat people recovering from illness. It is also inefficient, contributing to the revolving door of hospital readmissions. (1/2)
