Noisy pro-Palestine demo gathering in Parliament Square





Pro-Palestinian protesters in Edinburgh Waverley break through police barriers. Comes after Scots on the Global Sumud Flotilla were detained by Israel.



Liverpool Street right now, it’s grim to be a Jew in the UK. I’m absolutely sick , the police is here doing nothing while people chant ‘from the river to the sea’ and glorifying violence. Prime Minister, you are responsible

You won't stop Reform winning the next election by calling their supporters racist




Really wild that people are mad at this considering that every word here is literally true - he is now the sole leader in law - nobody was balloted on this - Hussain is the nominating officer - the nominating officer is legally responsible for candidate selections It's all fact

You won't stop Reform winning the next election by calling their supporters racist

The farcical spat that has riven Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s “Your Party” exposes a Left increasingly focused on itself rather than on the class it aims to mobilize. jacobin.com/2025/09/your-p…

Why is Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney personally briefing Beth Rigby from Sky News on the day he's featured on all the news channels? No.10 has an entire press team who's job it is to brief journalists. No word from Beth on his news this week...

This is a huge news for France, and for Libya. The only other French leader ever sent to prison in the entire history of the French republic was Pétain (the leader of Vichy France), just to give an idea of how extreme the level of treachery must be for France to imprison a former head of state. And in this case it was indeed particularly treacherous: Sarkozy was condemned for criminal conspiracy, soliciting millions of euros from Libya's Gaddafi to fund his 2007 presidential campaign. And as we all know he then cynically turned around later when he was president to lead the very NATO bombing campaign that toppled his former benefactor (to be clear, he was not condemned for this later part, only the criminal conspiracy). Libya which, by the way, used to be Africa's richest country and is now but a mere shadow of its former self... The guy quite literally destroyed an entire country, and it looks like he did it (at least to some extent) to cover the tracks of his corruption. If that's not treacherous, I don't know what is. Plus, in my own opinion, he was the worst president of France in modern times. The guy who killed the little independence we used to have on the international stage by putting us back in NATO (after De Gaulle had rightly left decades prior); there's a reason why in the US they used to call him "Sarko the American" (cbsnews.com/news/sarko-the…). Really treacherous all around.
