UN Delegates just voted to recognise the Transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity. Britain abstained. This refusal to support this motion only places our government more at odds with the global majority. The call for reparatory justice is only getting louder.

This is the rotten heart of European strategy. Rather than accelerate the green transition, Germany partners with a genocidal state to convert civilian industries to war production.

Two years ago, we exposed how one quarter of UK MPs had accepted funding from the pro-Israel lobby. Today, the government publishes an independent review into "foreign financial influence" in UK politics. It does not mention Israel once.

Our latest on the situation in 📍#Gaza and #WestBank: 🔹@OHCHR_Palestine warns that Palestinians in Gaza are still living in conditions of precarity and dehumanisation, five months since the fragile ceasefire began. 🔹 Only limited numbers of trucks are entering the Gaza Strip, with the consequent scarcity of goods triggering further increases in prices and leading to shortage in medicines and spare parts needed to maintain essential operations. 🔹 Airstrikes, shelling, and gunfire continued across the Gaza Strip, causing civilian casualties.

@kieranmcevoy2 'between 2012 and 2024, there were 25 decisions to prosecute conflict-related offences in Northern Ireland, six of which were against soldiers. Only one ex-soldier was convicted of manslaughter after he shot a civilian in the back, receiving a suspended sentence.'

Chambers' comments show he has little understanding of unionism and where the conversation on unity has got to.

"What struck me when chatting to friends and colleagues about my time in court is that attempts by the establishment and tabloid press to criminalise and demonise Gerry Adams don’t seem to work anymore."

@PBresnihan Of course, there is an arms industry in Ireland. It's just that the Business Post can't see it as it's in the North.

Shifting the dial, article by article. Developing an arms industry will be good for the arms industry and war-making, not Ireland.
