Yvette Cooper’s refusal to condemn Israel’s airstrikes in Gaza last week, which killed more than 100 Palestinians, should remind us all of Labour’s complicity in Israel’s genocide. #c4news

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.
Solidarity with all Palestine Action protesters in Trafalgar Square yesterday, who were opposing the appalling authoritarianism of Starmer’s hated Labour govt.

"Palestinian people are being asked to accept total surrender in order to then start receiving aid that they should be receiving anyway.. this is set up to fail"

66 people were arrested outside the Labour Conference yesterday for peacefully holding signs with “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” written on them.

Hundreds of police officers were used to try to enforce Labour’s absurd ban. They failed to arrest everyone.
Excellent intervention from the heckler during a speech from Labour Friends of Israel representative, Rachel Reeves. Starmer’s pro-genocide Labour Party are a disgrace. #lpc25 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸#LabourConference2025 www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Sad to read that Danny Thompson has left us. Great to see him perform with Paul Weller & Robert Wyatt at a 2016 Jeremy Corbyn benefit in Brighton.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.

The UK must act to assure their safety.

Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.
Good to see Israel’s weapons manufacturer, Elbit, has closed its factory in Bristol. Palestine Action has been more successful with their work than Starmer’s pro-genocide govt. 🇵🇸https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/labours-poll-tax-moment-hundreds-of-arrests-at-palestine-action-protest

A mass demonstration in Parliament Square that planned to see at least 1,000 people detained may reach its target, says the Met

Contemptible displays of aggressive behaviour from the Met during their mass arrest of peaceful protesters holding Palestine Action placards in Parliament Square earlier. The current Labour govt is ultimately responsible for this mess, of course. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Very impressive from Lush today #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
Wonderful to see that Zack Polanski has been elected as the Green Party’s new leader #C4News
Great to see so many displays of Palestine solidarity from performers at this year’s End of the Road festival in Larmer Tree Gardens. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Sky News, "It's just been arrests after arrests after arrests"

"People protesting in front of statues of Ghandi and Suffragettes.. I don't need to tell you the symbolism of what that means.. The police crowded around them and took them away"
Yvette Cooper & her vile Labour govt are mostly to blame, of course. The Met & their North Wales police pals displayed utter stupidity, though, with their determination to arrest all peaceful Palestine protesters in Parliament Sq today. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
At least 300,000 were on today’s Palestine protest in London #FreePalestine #StopStarvingGaza 🇵🇸
Excellent from Zack Polanski on #r4today earlier & during the Green Party leadership hustings in Brighton last night.
Despite breaking three ribs in a fall, Richard Thompson performed a terrific set of songs during 90 minutes at the Wickham Festival on Saturday night.
