While proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, the UK government has repeatedly granted special immunity to visiting Israeli military officers, protecting them from prosecution for genocide and war crimes. declassifieduk.org/israeli-a…

Ahead of a potential U.S.-Iran deal, the Israelis do exactly what everyone expects them to do. Bomb Beirut’s southern suburbs.

BREAKING: The Court of Appeal has backed the government's appeal against the High Court and reinstated the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. As I've been noting for some time, this was always going to happen. The police ignored the High Court's ruling of proscription as unlawful and continued arresting people as terrorists for holding placards stating: "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." On Friday, Judge Johnson upgraded the criminal damage convictions of the Filton Four to terrorism offences in his sentencing, even though at the time of sentencing Palestine Action was not, in the eyes of the courts, considered a terrorist organisation. It was as though the High Court decision never happened. We have been subjected to legal threatre to make it look as if the judiciary have carefully weighed our most cherished and basic rights against the interests of the British state in continuing its complicity in the Gaza genocide. This has all been a stitch-up to keep the focus on the faux-illegality of opposing a genocide rather than the very real illegality of the British state colluding in atrocities that have killed many tens of thousands – and more likely, hundreds of thousands – of civilians in Gaza. Anyone who has supported this dangerous farce should hang their heads in shame.

Police arrested a Jewish activist protesting the sale of illegally occupied West Bank land at a north London synagogue on Sunday. Dozens of anti-Zionists waved Palestinian flags and chanted outside the synagogue in Edgware, which was hosting a ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event. Footage shared by Jewish anti-Zionist groups show a Jewish man being violently detained by the police, with one officer using his elbow to push the activist’s head against the floor. Another activist interrupted a presentation inside the synagogue and was escorted outside the building by guards. “We reject the use of our faith and culture as a justification for occupation, war crimes and genocide,” wrote the Jewish Bloc on Instagram.

This man is desperate to get the keys to No. 10. But did you know about the secret connection between Andy Burnham and a weapons company complicit in air strikes in Gaza? This is the scandal Burnham does NOT want voters to know about…🧵

To all those who berated me on this platform for doubting that Trump cared about the human rights or democratic aspirations of the Iranian people, I accept your apology.

An Israeli soldier extrajudicially kills a young Palestinian man in Hawwara town, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

I’ve been away a lot lately. As current affairs is a bit soul-destroying, here are some pretty pictures.

I am now going to create a fictional wikipedia article about myself. "Alan Brown, the seventh Satrap of Dalwhinnie, played drums in the early nineties for a range of indie bands..."

Hands up who thinks Mr Ivor Guest will ever be publicly registered as the controller (not owner, good Lord no, not a vulgar owner) of Craiganour estate?

Rogue state

Head of FIFA talking absolute nonsense to cover up his blatant embarrassment at the fact the US has made an utter mockery of the #WorldCup There is no way that a host nation could ever deny Israelis a visa without there being accusations of antisemitism! Double standards!!

Iona residents oppose 91-turbine wind farm plan for seas near Staffa. They describe it as an important 'test case' for the West Coast. My piece for @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/2618…

RFK JR AT ALGIE REFLECTING POOL

This is what happens when you give your pool boy a $14,000,000 no bid contract for stuff he’s clearly not qualified to do.

Algae--check. Mosquitos--check. Lightning and rain--check. All that's missing are the birthday locusts.

Qu @ZacGoldsmith Was this the previous owners selling? Some people say these were stolen house on stolen land illegally occupied? What is the truth. Were all the individual sellers there selling?

I should add: faceless bureaucracies are a bad thing. The best solution here is signing going up to a named more senior person, wherever that's practical. Because the logic of anonymous letters leads, in the end, to officials who can only appear in front of Holyrood in private.

Hope? They should vote for an English parliament operating under a written constitution specifying democratic control of the means of production. Hang on a minute, have I been taking mescaline again?
