Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now. Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government. What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising. 🇷🇸

I know where I stand on austerity. That's why I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap, opposed the means-testing for winter fuel payments, & will vote against cuts to welfare & disability benefits. Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, the government should tax the rich.

If you have 10 minutes you really need to watch this. It looks at Starmer's authoritarian turn against our basic and fundamental rights. Watch it, share it and let's get it out so we can defend our right to protest. youtu.be/2k6pmbagWKM?...

The National March for Palestine (London, 18/01/2025). Probably the most inappropriate, disproportionate policing I've seen in the UK for an entirely peaceful demonstration, causing Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch to raise concerns.
