BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

I knew today was going to be big. I didn’t know we’d have so many volunteers that we’d leaflet the ENTIRE constituency in just two hours (!!) - 80,000 leaflets. And we got to speak to so many people on their doorsteps. This is how we win this campaign. Thank you, everyone. 🙏🏽

BREAKING 84yo Reverend Sue Parfitt’s home was raided by police today. She had taken part in a peaceful protest on Wednesday with @just-stopoil.bsky.social outside Westminster, calling on Andy Burnham to refuse to reopen new oil & gas licenses in the North Sea. (Footage from a 2025 arrest)

My friend Jonathan Fuller took this picture of ducks in a dried up pond on Wallasea Island, Essex. It’s heartbreaking. I will never ever forgive the media, politicians, the oil industry and the moronic fools on social media who have been complicit in this climate crisis. #heatwave

This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?

Why did the British government suppress a report warning that ecosystem collapse must now be treated as a core national security threat? That’s what Caroline Lucas explores in a column for the Nerve and in her new podcast When Nature Becomes A Security Threat, from The Rest is Politics.

Gary Lineker described the ban on Palestine Action as “the biggest absurdity” to the @palestinedeepdive.bsky.social podcast yesterday. Gary ridiculed arrests of “little old ladies [as] terrorists”. Yet today in Burnham's Britain over 70 people (including old ladies) have been arrested again.

I can’t believe these arrests are still happening - the new PM could end this utterly absurd proscription if he chose. As Jonathon Porritt says - trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this government’s complicity in genocide is not terrorism

I generally tend to agree with George, but think a moralising focus on individual behaviours as per this thread is not the right approach. If everyone became a vegan tomorrow it does not change the broken system. If we all attack each other we waste energy that should be directed at those in power

Oh FFS! Instead of worrying about your summer holidays, you should be worrying about a 2.8°C to 3°C hotter southern Europe in 2050 and where all those millions of displaced people are going to be living? And what a 4°C Europe is going to do to your children? 🤷‍♂️

LET THE ESCALATION BEGIN WARNING - Expressing support for Palestine Action in this way is a breach of Section 12 of the UK Terrorism Act. This comes with significant risk of arrest and prosecution, and could lead to home raids and up to 14 years imprisonment. A BOLD 🧵

I say this as someone who loves the WC more than any other sporting event: every team should get on a plane home right now. Or all the games should be rescheduled for 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽. The USMNT should be disqualified now & suspended from the next WC. Or, we can start acting like a serious country of adults.
