While he was Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Tom Watson was never working for Jeremy Corbyn. He was working on behalf of someone else altogether.
Congratulations to GIC’s Chair and Vice-Chair Billy Fitzpatrick and Francis Durie who feature in the quiet heroes photographic exhibition at Granton:hub (Madelvic House) which opened on Sunday (31 August). Between them, Billy and Frances have served as volunteers on GIC’s…
Good to see this happening, our government may be afraid to act but plenty of us are willing. A boycott was fundamental in breaking the Apartheid state of South Africa and the freeing of Nelson Mandela - we need the same thing now against the Apartheid (and genocidal) state of…
Fuck the IOF forever. After bombing the hospital their air strike murders the medics and journalists who arrive to assist/document. No words
So what are you going to do about it, Dave? Are you going to ban arms sales to Israel? Are you going to expel the Israeli Ambassador? Are you going impose sanctions on Israel? No, of course you aren't.

The targeting & killing of journalists in Gaza & the failure of the media to show collective solidarity & to take collective action is…incomprehensible. I feel a such profound sense of shame & failure. It’s not just the death of journalists. It’s the death of journalism. 1/

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

Starmer’s Labour government says there’s no money to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift 500,000 children out of poverty — but there is £2,000,000,000 for Elbit, Israel’s partner in genocide. This obscene deal must be stopped. They have Palestinian blood on their hands.
Today is a day of national and international shame. This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving. How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?
Not a single word Nicola Sturgeon has said about the Alex Salmond trial can be trusted when she's willing to tell a lie as blatant as this. wingsoverscotland.com/the-illiterate…
An interesting thing about Sturgeon’s book with regard to the indyref is that in her eyes, no part of the Yes campaign outside the SNP existed. There’s only the most fleeting and cursory mention of even the official Yes Scotland, for example. There isn’t a single word about the…
More than half of children in the U.K don't have a bedtime story at home. Books help overcome disadvantage and nurture a life-long love of reading, but for many it's a luxury families can't afford. Just £3 a month can provide books to those who need them most. 📖
Watch as legendary filmmaker Ken Loach, aged 89, joins an Edinburgh demonstration against the proscription of Palestine Action. The award-winning director stood with activists wearing shirts reading: "Genocide in Palestine, time to take action.'
🚨 BREAKING: In one of the richest countries in the world, pensioners in the UK are being pushed into poverty, while the wealth of the richest few is skyrocketing. The govt has a choice: they could tax the super rich but instead keep cutting from those with the least.…
EXCLUSIVE: The UK Government is accused of trying to 'cover up complicity in genocide' after refusing to publish documents linked to a secret meeting with a top Israel minister This is the fourth time they have refused to release the documents
This is utterly shameless stuff. You champion the suffragettes as heroes who did far more extreme acts than anything Palestine Action even contemplated: they planted bombs! they burned down private homes! they smashed up art galleries! Yet you voted to proscribe a movement…

Rachel Reeves - Labour MP for Leeds West and Pudsey since 2010. Rachel is Chancellor of the Exchequer. (A massive improvement on Kwasi Kwarteng I’m sure you’ll agree.) This is an updated post. Please be patient. Since 2021, Rachel has received the following donations and…
Israel has just murdered Anas Al-Sharif. The most prominent journalist in Gaza. Everyday he showed his 1.5 million followers the truth of Israel’s genocide. So they killed him to bury the truth. Israel allow no journalists in and murder all those who remain. War criminals.
This was Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif’s final message to the world. Israel deliberately assassinated him in a brutal attempt to silence the truth. Share his words. Amplify his message. Expose the genocide they want to hide.
