One of Orwell's nightmares materialised would be this: potential war criminals and arm manufacturers implicated in a genocide allowed to roam and operate freely, while citizens get arrested for opposing a genocide.

Breaking: Today's mass arrests of peaceful protesters in Trafalgar Square under UK terrorism law are yet another blow to civil liberties in this country - and made all the more outrageous by the Metropolitan Police's own U-turn. The High Court ruled in February that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. The Met rightly said it would stop making arrests. It has now gone back to its old, failed policy - mass arrests of people holding pieces of card, including today an elderly woman with walking sticks. This is not policing. This is the state criminalising dissent. Take action now with thousands of other Amnesty International supporters and sign the petition to end all prosecutions against these peaceful protesters. amn.st/6015B60qQv

Disgraceful behaviour from the Met in Trafalgar Square today. More than 200 arrests for peaceful protesters holding Palestine Action placards is unacceptable in a supposedly democratic society.

Mass arrests of protesters opposing Palestine Action proscription are 'yet another blow to civil liberties' This is not policing. This is the state criminalising dissent. amnesty.org.uk/latest/uk-mass…

The High Court ruled the ban unlawful. Therefore, you are intentionally wrongly arresting hundreds of protestors for holding signs to protect a foreign genocidal regime.

BREAKING: An elderly man with a walking stick is arrested again for holding a sign in support of Palestine Action. The police know the ban was ruled unlawful, yet they are wrongly arresting hundreds of peaceful protestors. everyoneday.uk

Four released Palestine Action hunger strikers at the mass action in protest of the unlawful ban. They refused food for over two months for demands which included immediate bail and lifting the ban on Palestine Action. The govt was willing to let them die for an unlawful ban.

BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the Palestine Action ban. He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

Rest in peace Get on George.⁠ ⁠ Another life lost at Aintree.⁠ ⁠ Today they became another casualty of a sport that continues to prioritise entertainment and profit over animal rights.⁠ ⁠ How many more lives have to be lost before this ends?⁠ ⁠ #YouBetTheyDie

Pro-nuke, pro-war, pro-Trump Douglas Alexander is wrong about everything. Good to hear Stephen Flynn countering his nonsense. #bbcaq

Keir Starmer is under scrutiny after an RAF spy plane was tracked flying over Lebanon at the same time Israel killed over 250 people in a barrage of air strikes 🇱🇧 #Echobox=1775840909-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26011624.…

The world finally sees the true nature of an Apartheid state that has terrorized, displaced. executed, jailed and tortured millions of Palestinians for decades. Israel won’t stop until States and people force it to stop. #StopArmingIsrael #NoTradeWithIsrael

Yvette Cooper claims Britain wasn't "involved" at the start of the US bombing of Iran. Here's a list of the US warplanes transiting through just one US air base in Britain - Lakenheath - according to @LakenheathAfP lakenheathallianceforpeace.org.uk/bombers-for-wa…

Israel is now doing to Lebanon what it did, and is doing, to Gaza. War crimes every single day.

Good to see Zack Polanski calling for strong sanctions on Israel during today’s Green Party local elections campaign launch

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

The UK Foreign Secretary says she is “deeply troubled" by Israel's latest massacre in Lebanon. So “troubled” that the government still supplies Israel with weapons and intelligence. Israel is committing war crimes in Lebanon - and this government is shamefully complicit.

The @BBCNews has turned into an active & unrelenting propagandist for Netanyahu’s expansionist wars for a Greater Israel. They've abandoned any pretence of analysis & just read out IDF press releases as if they are objective truth. They've turned into Orwell’s Ministry of Truth

Pitiful performance from Labour Friends of Israel representative, Yvette Cooper. #r4today

It was Netanyahu who started this war that has killed so many & put at risk the living standards of people across the world & it’s Netanyahu who is now undermining the ceasefire & chance of peace. Keir Starmer should lead & introduce sanctions against Israel immediately.
