Some much needed good news. Jury finds supporting Palestinian resistance is not terrorism. Kwabena Devonish, an anti-racist activist and Palestine solidarity campaigner from Cardiff had waited more than two years for trial. She has been fully vindicated. change.org/p/justice-for-…?

“There were six men in Birmingham In Guildford there's four That were picked up and tortured And framed by the law And the filth got promotion But they're still doing time For being Irish in the wrong place And at the wrong time” 💚🤍🧡

The progression of Keir Starmer's lies, on video. "You can see the specific munitions being loaded into these planes: 2000lb GBU-31s, 500lb GBU-38s, stealth cruise missiles/AGM-158 -- none of these munitions have anything to do with the word 'defensive' or shooting down drones"

Starmer told Parliament and the country that he was going to allow the US to use UK bases BUT ONLY for DEFENSIVE purposes The US is blatantly using UK bases for OFFENSIVE purposes Is anybody in politics or the media or ANYBODY AT ALL going to say anything?

Why don’t you go and sign these bombs as they’re loaded up at our bases to commit still further genocide, @Keir_Starmer?

If your mate was popping over to murder some children and on the way he came round to your house with an empty gun and you welcomed him in, let him fill it with bullets and filled up his car with petrol to reach his destination, wouldn't you feel partially responsible?

According to @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy, all of these American bombers being fitted with bombs and taking off from RAF Fairford to strike Iran -- all of this is purely "defensive".

England's Student Loan system is blighting the life of million. Young adults burdened with £267bn debt, rising to £500bn by 2040. Repayment forced when earning less than median wage, paying real rates of interest. I offered the Minister policy choice. Watch the reply.

Two interviews by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg – one of an Iranian leader, the other of an Israeli leader – reveal the starkly different standards the two states are held to by the British media. As Media Lens show, this isn't journalism, it's propaganda: medialens.substack.com/p/how-on-earth…

The UK government is refusing to comment on whether US bombers from RAF Fairford or Diego Garcia are being allowed to use cluster bombs. Britain has signed an international treaty banning cluster munitions, whereas the US has not. declassifieduk.org/uk-military-re…

The British establishment media is a marvel They’ve turned Labour allowing the US Air Force to bomb the shit out of Iran from UK bases into “Starmer standing up to Trump” Level of obedience and servitude within elite UK journalist circles—with no gulags—is genuinely incredible

There is no longer a whiff of fascism to our country. We reek of it. Not only are we being arrested and charged under anti terrorism laws for holding a piece of paper under a proscription deemed unlawful but the discredited Met Police telling us what we can say and not say under threat of arrest. To think they criticise Iran …..

UK military and intelligence officials meet with a select group of senior journalists and editors every 6 months at the Ministry of Defence in London Known as the 'D-Notice committee', they discuss what can and can't be published This is new though. According to the latest minutes, the UK military also gives an "operational update on UK operations and deployed force elements" at every meeting Not for publication obviously. But interesting way to cultivate the journalists - making it an exclusive club where secret information is shared This makes it very likely these journalists knew what SAS were doing during the Gaza genocide, but obeyed their masters in the Ministry of Defence and kept it secret It's obviously an embarrassment any UK journalists sits on this committee. It's the literal anti-thesis of journalism. Taking instruction from the people you are meant to be exposing
