Great to speak at the Stop Rearm Assembly in Brussels after the excellent anti-war demo.
Gd to see many friends and new people coordinating internationally.
Reminds me of the early days of the anti-capitalist movement.
Lots coming to the London conference on Saturday.

Dan Jarvis says cutting welfare to build defence is making the country more resilient.
By what warped logic could that ever be true?
We say welfare not warfare, wages not weapons!

The battle is on.
John Healey, the right and the generals want to militarise society and sideline old fashioned ideas like welfare and equality.
The fight back starts next Saturday…

Absolutely outrageous, deliberate and blatant miscarriage of justice.
We are in very dangerous territory now.

Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting.
QWHITE revealing!

Lower Your Guns and Raise Our Wages!
With Healey's resignation over arms spending, it was a fitting day for a Westminster Bridge banner drop to promote the International Anti-War conference

John Healey resigns as Defence Secretary over Keir Starmer's lack of defence funding.
He didn't resign over Keir Starmer and the Labour government's arming, intelligence-sharing and enabling of the genocide in Gaza.

In the face of this prospect the International Anti-War conference next week is vital. The entire anti-war and trade union movement needs to demand an end to the war-mongering and war-driven austerity

BREAKING: 100 public figures urge Judge Johnson to not sentence four direct action protestors as terrorists.
The four were only convicted of criminal damage for destroying Israeli drones, by a jury which was unaware of the potential terrorism sentence. artistsforpalestine.org.uk/p…
