“Self-defense”

Happy birthday comrade @jeremycorbyn! 🥳

Targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime and an act of genocide.

BREAKING: Israel just carried out a horrific massacre in Maarakeh, South Lebanon. Dropping bombs on residential buildings. Children are being pulled from under the rubble of their own homes. Entire families wiped out. The scenes are devastating.

Is your personal medical information safe from profit-seeking under the government’s plans for the NHS? GPs block data sharing to highlight concerns & protect patient data. Get Palantir out of #NHS lowdownnhs.info/comment/gps-bl…

UK universities cut jobs, research, teaching amid squeeze in overseas students. 30,000 job losses, less student choice. Local economies shattered due to obsession with 'foreign'. Govt can exclude them from immigration statistics during period of study. archive.ph/L0iEn/again

Britain’s higher education system, one of the finest in the world, is being slowly, relentlessly, destroyed

For the purposes of int. law, it doesn’t matter whether you’re importing olives from stolen Palestinian farmland, or facilitating holiday rentals on service-based platforms like Airbnb: a euro of support is a euro of support. ICJ was clear that it all must end. Govt knows this.

“Against Hezbollah” They’re slaughtering MEDICS and bombing LEBANON, but you know that. “Israel says” isn’t journalism.

🔴 Israel has killed two more first responders here in Lebanon. Excerpt of the statement from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health: “…The ministry salutes the efforts of the heroic paramedics and their continuous sacrifices in the face of the barbarism of the Israeli enemy, who is not deterred by international humanitarian law or international resolutions and norms, and continues to apply the law of the jungle, which confirms its continuous attacks that he believes only in it.” Targeting medical professionals is a war crime. Israel is committing acts of genocide in Lebanon. More than 120 paramedics have been killed just since March 2nd.

This is a mobilisation of workers protesting the government in Bolivia, you know it's real and not a fake CIA colour revolution because it's not on the news. #bolivia

Pride plays a vital role in education, outreach and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. Reform's disgraceful culture war, as well as all other forms of bigotry, must be resisted at every turn.

I love Tyre. It is a truly beautiful place and you can't scrape the ground anywhere without disturbing ancient archaeology from the heart of the great Phoenician civilisation. Israel is carpet bombing it.

Palantir - get it out of here! open.substack.com/pub/drdavidnic…

I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago (before Burnham had got a seat) for @NewStatesman. From my conversations the SCG was always planning to run a candidate - as they did in dep leadership - in order to push the main contenders from the left. But think there’s a clear awareness within the group that they’d never make it over 80 MP threshold. newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

These headlines are both form today. 🇮🇱: Says 🇷🇺: Threatens

BREAKING: Trump administration is reinstating sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, the world's leading investigator of Israeli apartheid & genocide in Palestine. A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court just issued an administrative stay, allowing the Justice Department to restart punishing Albanese while the courts deliberate. Judge Richard Leon had correctly blocked the sanctions, recognizing that Albanese's First Amendment rights are protected because she owns property in the U.S. and her daughter is an American citizen. But the Justice Department is arguing that foreign nationals abroad have no constitutional rights—a dangerous precedent that would gut free speech protections globally. The Court of Appeals has scheduled key filings for May 28 and June 2. This isn't just about Francesca. It's about whether America will uphold free speech or become complicit in Israel's crimes through censorship and intimidation.

The British public deserves to know the full scale of its government’s complicity in genocide. That’s why I will continue to push for an independent, public inquiry. We will not give up until there is justice for the people of Palestine. thenational.scot/news/26128812.…

While arguing that Next can't afford to pay 16-24 year olds the minimum wage, CEO Lord Wolfson forgot to say that for the fiscal year ending January 2026, Next reported an operating profit of £1.236 billion, marking a 13.4% increase from the previous year. #r4today
