The unwise proscription of Palestine Action has brought us to a point in which the Government is locking up protesters without trial for months on end and refusing to acknowledge them even on the brink of death. This absurd law must be repealed and the protesters given bail.

Under-50s Back Green Party as FIRST Choice in Latest YouGov Poll.
ALT First place is The Greens with twenty-eight percent of the vote, a six-point increase. Second are Labour with twenty-five percent of the vote, a four-point increase. Third are Reform with eighteen percent of the vote, a five-point decrease. Fourth are the Liberal Democrats with fourteen percent of the vote, a seven-point increase. Fifth are the Conservatives on five percent of the vote with a five-point decrease. These figures compare results from November seventeenth to those from November tenth and represent the combined eighteen to twenty-four and twenty-five to fifty age groups.
personal announcement: I have decided to respond to climate collapse and the rise of the far right by squeezing lemon juice into my eyes and screaming "AAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!"

BREAKING: Approximately a thousand protestors sat in Parliament Square with signs which read "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"
In a collective act of resistance, people are risking their liberty for our civil liberties and for the Palestinian people.
Yvette Cooper now says that Palestine Action was banned because of "some disturbing information referring to future planning". Their excuse used to be "shady funding", but that got debunked. And so they slip and they slide, they lie and they lie.
Journalists should ask:
- Why, if that is true, they can't be prosecuted under criminal law?
- Why Keir Starmer defended activists for doing the same?
- Does she disagree with the UN human rights chief?
- Will she resign if the ban is overturned?
- Is this a sensible precedent?
It's a new day and I still support courageous protesters taking direct action to prevent war crimes. Peaceful protest strengthens democracy — banning protests weakens it. Free Palestine!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.
fun campaign to be a part of, very happy we won! and tomorrow the real work for the left starts afresh!
in the park opposite my flat, there's a primary school class who are learning about climate change. I have the window open and can hear them talking about fossil fuels and trees and their favourite animals and it's super sweet.

🚨BREAKING: On May Day, over 1,000 workers are blockading the UK Trade Department in London and BAE Systems’ arms factories in Scotland, Wales and Lancashire 🇵🇸 🚩 #StopArmingIsrael
Five years ago... Thousands on the streets. A big pink boat in Oxford Circus. A garden bridge over the Thames. A day after this meeting, parliament was forced to declare a climate emergency. Say what you like about it now, but we ran rings around the lot of them. Good times!
Not tweeting much these days, but Labour turning a debate on the collective punishment of the Palestinian people into a vapid little story about them blackmailing the Speaker of the House of Commons is so irredeemably gross. Everything that is wrong with Westminster.
Has been great to work with GNDR for the last year. I'm off for three or four months to concentrate on some other projects, but will miss disrupting events and campaigning for real progressives with this lot. Do check out our strategy and get involved.
Hope has to be built.

Very difficult to stomach developed countries talking self-congratulatorily about "climate justice" when they're the perpetuators of massive injustice by failing to reduce emissions, deliver finance, support adaptation and L&D, & enable a real fossil fuel phaseout globally #COP28
