We now have 300,000 people signed up and the establishment is clearly frightened. Westminster is broken, but the real crisis is inequality: just fifty families now own more wealth than half the population. Let’s change that together. Join us: yourparty.uk

The full speech:
To equate a spray can of paint with a suicide bomb isn't just absurd, it is grotesque. It is a deliberate distortion of the law to chill dissent, criminalise solidarity & suppress the truth about UK complicity in genocide. My full speech against proscribing Palestine Action:
Parliament and Hansard have removed “We are all Palestine Action” from my speech on Wednesday 2 July 2025 — despite me saying it. This is a blatant attempt to censor me and rewrite the record. This is not how a democracy behaves. We will not be silenced.
Sickening. Brilliant. 5/5 ⭐️ translated by @meganalimcd
You must be joking! Donate to restart a genocide enabling machine!

Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. Join us. The time is now. Sign up here to stay updated: actionnetwork.org/forms/join-tea…
This you?
To clarify, again. We are not “all Palestine Action”, and the House of Commons is *not a student union. From midnight on Saturday, the vile group will be proscribed a terrorist group and banned. Thanks to our fantastic Home Sec and Security Minister.
My statement on the government's absurd and authoritarian proposal to proscribe Palestine Action.
Excited to be running this online workshop ‘imperfect lives’ and explore how truthful we can get, how we accept and at the same time rethink the narrative to get closer to our lives. Will look at many wonderful, illuminating examples! So do join us 💕 eventbrite.co.uk/e/jennifer-won…
