Lol let's not forget what has been acceptable to our politician-hack class in the last three years, and what's firmly beyond the pale: • Grannies against genocide = bad, terrorists • Event to illegally sell the land of the genocided = good, standard real estate practice

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the things that I think people don't understand about Netanyahu is that they think he is racist in some inscrutable or exotic Israeli way, when he is actually racist in the exact way you'd expect a guy who went to high school in the Philly suburbs in the late 1960s (as he did) to be

"Mohamed Hussein...made the decision to attend the Republican Party of Texas Convention to confirm for himself that he had a place in the GOP....What he found was a party that didn’t want him. He arrived with hope but left in tears after being told explicitly that he should leave the country."

The North is being failed, this is by design. A report in 2020 suggested 12,500 loyalist paramilitary members. We have experienced the third year of pogroms with precisely the same terror groups responsible. And yet.. 1. No COBRA meeting convened. [1/n]

🇵🇸🚨Over 60 Parliamentarians, led by Steve Witherden, have written to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade over the UK military equipment to Israel that was seized in Belgium.

The Court of Appeal judgement on Palestine Action is frankly bonkers. It says PA is not "a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open." Right: the arson, bombings, slashings etc were all planned in open meetings in Parliament Square 🙄🧵

A 5 mins proclamation from the interim Principal of the University of Dundee announcing voluntary redundancy pools. No offers of additional support for staff. No chance for questions. No engagement with staff of students @scotfundcouncil.bsky.social hope you are monitoring this continued failure

No, it's because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population. The Guardian really needs to stop publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap as news. (The Avondvierdaagse is a nice tradition though.) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Netanyahu says he will not comply with Trump’s peace deal with Iran as he doesn't see eye to eye with Trump on the issue and, hence, will strike Iran and Lebanon whenever he deems necessary in accordance with Israel's security measures.

It should be in the textbooks, the judgment, for illustrating how legal outcomes are constructed by judges' selection and characterisation of facts. Stressing the covert, unapologetic, 'violent' nature of Palestine Action in contrast to the 'good' type of direct action that the Sufragettes did.

Hundreds of thousands of disabled people with lifelong conditions are being put through “pointless” benefit reassessments, contrary to official guidance. My exclusive in today’s paper: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...

🆕 Alongside colleagues, we have written to the Prime Minister setting out the damage he is doing to our community. We have made clear that this is a political choice. The UK must pick another path, and the responsibility here lies with government. Read more: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...

An unintended consequence of Ukraine battering a demoralised and badly led Russian army, is that the sabre rattling MPs and defence companies are looking rather foolish now. The cut welfare to increase defence spending (ie profits) refrain is not working anymore. Just spend what you have better.

Almost 100 MPs and Peers are urging Ministers to prevent the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' taking place in London this weekend. The govt has an opportunity to uphold obligations under international law and take action against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.
