The dispersal of the #FreedomConvoy was very far from being the end of dangerous #farright activity in Canada. My column for @counterfireorg this week. counterfire.org/article/the-fa…
The “appalling scenes in Gaza” have been enabled by the arms, surveillance & diplomatic cover Keir Starmer’s Labour government have provided to a genocidal apartheid state. He still refuses to call it a genocide because he is complicit in it. Keir Starmer belongs in The Hague.
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
Utterly disgraceful remarks from @wesstreeting These doctors are the backbone of our NHS Their real pay is down 20% compared to 2008 It's time they were treated with the respect and dignity they deserve
You: - Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week - Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK - Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime) - Haven't stopped arms sales - Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state You have enabled a genocide.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Solidarity with resident doctors on strike. This is a fight for the NHS and we’re all with you ✊🏽 @BMAResidents @keepnhspublic
Being this stupid won’t be a legitimate defense at The Hague
no mention of Israel, no demands on Israel, no suggestion of any kind of action to stop Israel.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Great to see another very big meeting for the Stephen Kapos tour. This time in Glasgow. #FreePalestine
Andrew Feinstein (@andrewfeinstein) addressing 130+ in the room in Glasgow: “Starmer is about to increase military spending to 15.4bn a year from 2027 and 2030 and even more every year while 7bn cost cutting of the NHS and 8bn from benefits.” #WelfareNotWarfare
Twenty years on from the Met Police's killing of Jean Charles de Menezes, the four-part series Suspect brings to light the realities of police violence, racism and cover-up, finds @ShabbirLakha counterfire.org/article/suspec…
Water privatisation has been a complete & utter failure. It is absurd that the government's report into the water industry didn't even consider public ownership. That's not a report. That's a political broadcast for the private sector. Put water back into public hands, now.
No bans, no proscriptions! @LindseyGerman on the increasing evidence of harassment and criminalisation of protest, especially around the Palestine movement. stopwar.org.uk/article/no-ban…
Spraying red paint is not terrorism, spilling the blood of thousands of Palestinian children is terrorism! StW’s Andrew Murray on 🔥 at today’s national march for Palestine!
One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we…
What is there left to say
85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.
Wise words from Lindsey German. Police may be trying to criminalise all Palestine protests. But we will march on | Letter theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
If saying this is impermissible in Starmer's Labour Party, then it is the most internally authoritarian party in British politics. Full stop. There is nothing wrong with discussing these matters. Normal people do it all the time. Normal people not welcome in Starmer-Labour.
This is the clip of my interview.
1/2. A little help for any other out of touch 90s musician asked about Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. Your response should probably resemble something to the affect of: “Over 58k Palestinians killed since Oct 7th 2023. Over 700 killed while attempting to get aid…
