Irish Sea border – 1920s version 🧵 Given the ongoing row about the NI Protocol, I have been fascinated to discover that throughout the 1920s (and into the 1930s) anyone shipping goods between Britain and N. Ireland was subject to Customs checks. 1/14

I have tabled a motion to the Crime and Policing Bill to reject the govts new 'cumulative disruption' protest-curbing powers. The Conservatives tried and failed to establish these powers in 2023. Labour shouldn't be seeking to do the same.

The judge has ruled that Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham are guilty on all charges. This is a disgraceful decision. We will follow up soon with a full statement. Our right to protest is precious, and is undermined by this decision, but the fight is not over.

@RMcGreevy1301 @ZackPolanski Your original post indicates that you haven't bothered to ask basic journalistic questions and are more interested in smearing march organisers as liars than in understanding the layout central London. If you delete your original nonsense, I'd be more than happy to discuss

@PeterLeary @ZackPolanski Even you added all of Whitehall and Parliament Street and packed it, you'd get another 108,000 at a very generous push so you're still at less than 150,000, so where did the 500K come from, let alone the million reported in other places?

Half a million people standing against the far right. Half a million people who care about each other and our communities. Half a million people ready to make hope normal again.

@RMcGreevy1301 @ZackPolanski This is literally an image of a packed Whitehall (ie not Trafalgar Square, much bigger). If they filled Trafalgar Square as well and your figures are correct, then the police figures are clearly massively dishonest. Thanks

Some of the medical aid I’ve brought directly with me to Cuba, as Trump tries to strangle the Cuban people. Today we’ll be receiving tonnes more as the Nuestra America Aid Convoy arrives. Aid is arriving all the time from Britain thanks to solidarity. Donate to Viva Cuba below.

Today MPs, Trade Unionists and civil society organisations are joining us to defend the right to protest and demand our government drop their proposal to give police new powers to effectively ban repeat protests based on their "cumulative disruption".

PSC condemns the illegal war of aggression launched by the US and Israel on Iran. By supporting Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people, the British government has helped to give the green light to this criminal destruction of human lives x.com/STWuk/status/2…

Blame for Labour’s defeat lies squarely with Keir Starmer and his clique. They put factional interests over having the candidate best placed to win, Andy Burnham. If Labour is to be the “Stop Reform” party, then the leadership must stop treating progressive voters with contempt

The government's refusal to respect the basic human rights of these imprisoned activists is beyond reprehensible and could soon be fatal. Email the Ministry of Justice and urgently raise the case of the hunger strikers: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/LammyHungerStr…

What an astonishing display of arrogance and ignorance from Jess Phillips lecturing the public about a word she can not even pronounce, from a language she does not speak, that comes from a culture she clearly does not understand. Hopeless doesn't even begin to cover it.
