94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen OBE, arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @labouruk.bsky.social conference. Her crime? Holding a piece of cardboard with the words “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on it. She was among hundreds doing the same.

Welcome I suppose, but look: the time to recognise that most of these people work for gambling outfits, privatised utilities and tech companies, and that they protect those interests in exchange for sweet private sector jobs further down the line, was fifteen or ten years ago. It is too late now.

Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his ‘clarity and leadership’. Today, he’s having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.

Around 40% of the world's dirty money, proceeds of corruption and crime, is laundered through the UK, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Successive govts promise new laws and enforcement but they make little impact. Why do govts continue to fail? Watch the Minister's reply.

You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK. They were common land. In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him. They should all be placed back under Government control. It's a scam.

In 2024-25 HMRC failed to collect £59.2bn of tax; £500bn since 2010. £12.8bn lost through profit shifting by multinational corporations. Promoters of a business rates avoidance scheme boasted that they have deprived local councils of £500m. Billions can be raised by ending abuses.

For years I've been told that aviation emissions are negligible, so don't worry your little head about them. But I've kept pointing out that there are - and will be - no good technical solutions, and they'll keep growing. Now we know just how big the problem is. www.carbonbrief.org/ccc-heathrow...

Literally hours later, although at least nobody was killed.
MSF International 2
@MSF
On 13 September, an MSF bus carrying 10 humanitarian staff in Gaza City was damaged by an Israeli airstrike on a targeted vehicle just two metres away. One of our colleagues was injured in the strike.
The bus was clearly identified as an MSF vehicle, with a large MSF sticker visible on its roof. Once again, Israeli forces have shown a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical personnel.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Civilians, healthcare workers and humanitarian staff must be protected. Clearly marked medical and humanitarian vehicles must be spared from attacks.

Israel was mass murdering children BEFORE October 7th. The Hamas attack was just an excuse to mass murder more.

"Revelations" about Netanyahu knowing about, and instigating the October 7th 2023 attacks were revealed within days. But any mention of them were met with calls of "antisemite" and "Jew hater" - the truth has no friend in Israel. See how that works? Weaponising one evil to deflect from another?

We tried this before. It was called Kindertransport. The UK took thousands of Jewish children from Nazi Germany. It saved their lives. But we chose not to accept their parents, most of which were murdered in the holocaust. It is heralded as a great humanitarian success. It orphaned thousands of kids
