My review of theatre's top reviewer! theguardian.com/stage/2019/dec… Thank you for your words @billicritic @guardianstage

In 2017, Film4 approached me to write something. Grenfell had just happened and it felt like one of the biggest stories of Britain that no one was telling. Eight years later, SALMA has been made – directed by Lara Zeidan. You can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=OT3vSt…

Everybody does.

Can't be long before the line-up on Question Time includes Lee Anderson, Nigel Farage, Richard Tice and Sarah Pochin, with a rightwing Tory to provide some political balance

I am proud to be in Bogotá, Colombia for the Emergency Conference to Halt the Gaza Genocide. This is historic — 32 states are taking concrete action to stand up for the Palestinian people. The spirit of humanity is alive, it’s here, and it yearns for justice.

My favourite thing about this country is that 'you can't take money from millionaires, they might leave' is considered a more valid and compelling argument than 'you can't take money from disabled people, they might die'.

Well said @NaamodUK

You have one of the world's biggest platforms, @jk_rowling. You could have listened to Arab feminists, like the brilliant @maryam_dh, who have demanded that the silence over Palestinian women and girls must end. You didn't. Why? aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/…

The Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest from Bristol, was among 20 people arrested in London today "on suspicion" of supporting Palestine Action. Am I allowed to say she's a hero, or is that banned too? She's a hero. Please share if you agree.

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

How the actual fuck did we get here‼️ Police arrest a disabled man on a mobility scooter, dressed as Chaplin, outside Downing Street this evening. #PalestineAction

This is who the Met Police just arrested for holding up a sign that read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” Is she a terrorist?

Silence is not an option.

There is no internet. No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage. I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.” Not because anyone is listening, but because to die unheard is the final death. Gaza is silent now. Not with peace, but with obliteration. Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering. They severed the last cable. No messages leave. No images enter. Even grief has been forbidden. I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not. All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices. This is not a siege of bombs alone. It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.” The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia. They shell the streets where children beg for food. They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour. They shell hunger itself. No food. No water. No exit. And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down. People die here, and no one knows. Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded. The internet was our final breath. It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity. Now it is gone. And in the dark, they massacre without consequence. I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame. I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this. A single message. A last resistance. If you are reading this, remember: we walked through fire to say it. We were not silent. We were silenced. And when the cables are restored, the truth will bleed through the wires, and the world will know what it chose not to see.

Despite Egypt deporting many delegations, 1000s of activists from Chad, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco & Mauritania advance to Gaza

We are proud of the crew of #Madleen. They achieved what entire nations have failed to do, standing up with courage, compassion, and conviction for justice. #Gaza

Its taken 18 months & it should have happened long ago, but finally @BBCNews has plucked up the courage to write clearly about Israeli War Crimes. RT now before they bow to pressure & retract it. Israel is accused of the gravest war crimes in Gaza bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of @GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

Share.
