The Zionist Media are characterising this as a loss for the Greens in Holborn and St Pancras. This share change clearly demonstrates success for Greens and Failure for Labour in a safe seat.

Beautiful article in The New Arab "Simply recognising Palestinians creating art – whether as a writer, through theatre or through cinema – reflects the civilisation and culture of our people. It makes others recognise that Palestinians deserve freedom and the right to live with dignity."

Amazon made £555 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now.

Pinochet Carried Out Terrorism Less Than Two Miles From White House - PopularResistance.Org
On September 21, 1976, former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier, his colleagues at the Institute for Policy Studies Ronni Karpen Moffitt and her husband Michael Moffitt, were riding in Washington, DC, when a car bomb exploded, throwing Michael Moffitt from the car and killing Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. The horrific act, which Secretary of State George Schultz called, at the time, “perhaps the only clear case of state-supported terrorism that has occurred in Washington, DC,” was subsequently tied directly to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. The 50th anniversary of this event is reawakening memories of the attack for some people.

October 7: Three Years Of Resistance, Genocide And Solidarity - PopularResistance.Org
October 7, 2026, will mark the third anniversary of the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood — the day when the Gaza-based Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) led a daring, heroic, surprise, coordinated attack of small rockets and ground infiltrations against multiple Israel Occupation Forces’ military outposts and an Israeli music festival held in the southern part of Occupied Palestine. This reportedly led to the deaths of over 1,200 people, mainly Israelis and the taking of 250 hostages. Many Hamas fighters sacrificed their lives for their long-besieged people during this battle.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
