Legal challenge to Palestine Action ban can go ahead, court rules

More than 1,600 English Football thugs are banned from going to Europe. Why is banning Israeli Football thugs controversial?

Everybody who is in support of letting Football Thugs come to the UK because they are from Israel. Shame on you, you are a disgrace.

Local MP Ayoub Khan supports banning Maccabi fans from the match.

Heres Damian Grammaticas being vague about what Maccabi fans did in Amsterdam (disgusting racist abuse is "slogans", apparently). He also doesn't mention them attacking locals in the street. But when it comes to what was done to Maccabi fans in retaliation, he's very specific. Funny, that

When this kicks off - and it will - Starmer and Labour are going to look very, very stupid. Doubly so when Maccabi Haifa fans use one of their favourite chants: "There are no schools in Gaza, there are no children left". www.theguardian.com/politics/...

The media seems to forget to mention that when Tel Aviv Maccabi fans went to Amsterdam, there were reports they chanted “we will f**k the arabs” and ““There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” They also pulled down Palestinian flags. They were met with attacks from locals.

Utter joke

Rinder wants us to believe people marching against Israels genocide & our govts complicity in it are the extremists, not the violent racist 'fans' who sing about raping Palestinian women & the slaughter of Palestinian children &who ran riot in Amsterdam last year attacking people

Ian Murray says that allowing violent racist 'fans' who sing songs about raping Palestinian women & the slaughter of Palestinian kids to attend a football match in the UK is necessary to heal society & combat racism.

Jacquie Beltrao says away fans are normally banned when they've caused trouble before but "thats not the case here" Last year these 'fans' ran rampage through a European capital chanting appalling racist abuse and attacking people.

Also occurs to me, is the opposite of appearing Prime Ministerial to be trying to overturn a police decision. Part of the job is to seem to be in charge. Failed in this case.

Imagine the outcry if the bodies of Israeli hostages had signs of torture, executions & handcuffing. It would be on the front page of every newspaper & leading every news bulletin But its Palestinian bodies handed over by Israel that have these signs. So our media doesn't care

Corporate Welfare London developers to build fewer affordable homes, but get higher subsidies to build them. Why build unaffordable homes? Why subsidies for highly profitable companies? Subsidies will be swallowed by companies, won't filter down to people. Let councils build affordable homes.

"Violence, demonstrations & racist chanting. It was scenes like this from Maccabis game in Amsterdam last year.. that led West Midlands police to advise that the Israeli fans be banned" Notice how it isn't made clear it was the Israeli fans doing the racist chanting & violence

Starmer's knack for making simple stories worse. Banning away fans from games is pretty common as this story says. Best not politicised, but he has to go there. Badly advised. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country." Really? Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

Libraries in Reform UK run Staffordshire are being forced to close. They are refusing to hire much needed staff and refusing over time or paying for staff to be covered. This is resulting in libraries closing because of too few staff, despite there being available staff to cover. #Farageheit411

Rosebank forced to admit its climate impact would be 50x greater than it initially claimed. Clear evidence that this climate-wrecking oil field must never be developed www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Gaza has around 20,000 unexploded Israeli bombs amid up to 70 million tonnes of rubble, posing a massive threat to Palestinians, as removal is blocked by Israel’s ban on heavy equipment, according to the Government Media Office. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/m73gl0

BREAKING: The bodies of 29 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks have been brought to Gaza's hospitals over the past 24 hours, reports the health ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/m73gl0

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman." This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women." RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time. Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

Quite the spectacle to see media outlets who've cheered on austerity saying 'oh god, SEND spending is out of control'. Well, if you gut councils, fail to provide local special school spaces, collapse SureStart and leave public/collective transport to rot, that's what happens. Cuts are expensive

The tories were pretty cooked by 2022, but between this and his leaving the 80th anniversary of D-Day early, their election campaign was dead in the water shortly after it began. But McSweeney is an electoral mastermind or something, apparently.

This is truly chilling - both Labour & Tory conferences cancelled the appearance of a highly respected economist who dares to suggest that more North Sea oil doesn’t cut energy bills #InconvenientTruth 👇

And if you’re wondering who Labour is listening to? “Reeves boasted she hatched plan to rip down our nature protections over a “smoked salmon & scrambled eggs breakfast” with corporate lobbyists”. While Starmer’s resolve to kick down planning rules are result of his “conversations with leading CEOs”

Horrifying piece that shows exactly how Labour minister is dancing to the tune of biggest profit-driven developers & failing to meet pledges on new homes & on affordability. Worse, they don’t even seem to care 👇

❌ Thames Water want to pollute ILLEGALLY for the next 15 years. Thousands of you have already said NO by signing our petition ✉️ Next? We're taking it to Ofwat's inbox ✍️Take 1min now to send an email to Ofwat, explaining why they must say no to 15 more years of illegal pollution

i'd be a bit annoyed if I heard that there was a Hamas SuperLair under a hospital which required bombing the hospital and then later I found out there was no SuperLair at all. Has one prominent person written a "shit, that wasn't nice, lying about the hospital SuperLair" piece?

Rachel Reeves should consider welfare cuts in budget, says right-wing IFS. They want the govt to hurt the poor, old, sick, disabled; curtail redistribution which enables millions to survive. Silence on corporate welfare, ending profiteering, tax abuse by corporations/rich. It is class war.

Getting better all the time. The Swiss gambling regulator is now concerned that Fifa's NFTs, which offer a *chance* to buy tickets once you've paid for them, are a form of gambling. And Fifa doesn't have a gambling licence. share.google/pl2VMm5VKqmM...

From #C4News last night: "Israel returned 45 more bodies to Gaza today... [some] were blindfolded and handcuffed, others bore marks suggesting they'd be run over by tanks"

A Labour government? Howls of derisive laughter www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh good.

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.” As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well. Have they no shame? www.middleeasteye.net/news/british...

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page. The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores. The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Legalising drugs isn't crazy, because some of the worst drugs are already legal, Alcohol is one of the most harmful drugs, it should be Class A. Smoking is one of the most addictive and equally harmful when you do it for decades.

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

It’s time to take back what’s ours. At the #BlueEarthSummit I joined Feargal Sharkey and @cleanilkley.bsky.social to call out the scam of privatised water, and show how public ownership can become a reality. If you agree it’s time to bring our water home, sign: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

“You’re not paid according to the value you bring you’re paid according to the strength of your union. Use your industrial strength, or you’ll be taken for granted.” ✊ Powerful words from @rmtunion.bsky.social Eddie Dempsey on last night’s UCU Live. Thank you for the solidarity

Today I stood with @rmtunion.bsky.social members outside Parliament to oppose the Government’s cruel Skilled Visa changes.   I've spoken with TfL workers facing deportation in weeks, this is a disgrace!   Solidarity with all the workers fighting this injustice.

Fair dinkum Aussies!

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Gonna set up a tactical voting site (vote green everywhere in england)

When our predecessors helped to found the Labour party it was to give working people a voice in Parliament. Shouldn't Labour now at least consult with trade unions before imposing sudden Skilled Worker visa changes that put transport staff at risk of losing their jobs?

Reports in Russian media that fake "Shakhtar Donetsk" have been approved to participate in Russia's second league division B next season. Fake "Zorya" in line for promotion too, tho they've done nothing on pitch to earn it. All of this has been clearly in the post for months – where are UEFA/FIFA?

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen shared his economic wisdom at the Tory conference. The Conservative party, he said, must be the party of “sound money”. 🧵1/3
