Irish Sea border – 1920s version 🧵 Given the ongoing row about the NI Protocol, I have been fascinated to discover that throughout the 1920s (and into the 1930s) anyone shipping goods between Britain and N. Ireland was subject to Customs checks. 1/14

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

📣 Speaker announcement @PSCupdates confirm @PeterLeary will be speaking at the International Anti-War conference on 20 June Great to have our Palestine Coalition partners backing what will be a historic event

"Any other event in which stolen goods were being advertised for sale would not only be prohibited, it would be investigated by the police to establish the networks involved in the sale of stolen goods." PSC Deputy Director Ryvka Barnard in @The_NewArab . newarab.com/news/psc-urges-u…

“If Wes Streeting really wants to atone for his role in supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza...he should start by joining those who have long been calling for meaningful, wide-ranging sanctions" said PSC Deputy Director Peter Leary. middleeasteye.net/news/stree…

Today we commemorate the 78th year of the ongoing Nakba by marching in London. We are a diverse movement that recognises the struggle for Palestinian rights is founded on rejecting all racism and bigotry - @PeterLeary PSC Deputy Director

On Thursday, for millions of progressive voters, Palestine was on the ballot. Across Britain, they punished Keir Starmer for his refusal to take meaningful action to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people. 🧵

I have tabled a motion to the Crime and Policing Bill to reject the govts new 'cumulative disruption' protest-curbing powers. The Conservatives tried and failed to establish these powers in 2023. Labour shouldn't be seeking to do the same.

Disgraceful decision

The judge has ruled that Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham are guilty on all charges. This is a disgraceful decision. We will follow up soon with a full statement. Our right to protest is precious, and is undermined by this decision, but the fight is not over.

Across Europe and in Britain the far right is gaining ground. We have to stop them. 🇵🇸 Join us on Saturday, 28 March in London to march for Palestine and against the far right. 📍 Exhibition Road (Hyde Park end), London, 12PM

Some of the medical aid I’ve brought directly with me to Cuba, as Trump tries to strangle the Cuban people. Today we’ll be receiving tonnes more as the Nuestra America Aid Convoy arrives. Aid is arriving all the time from Britain thanks to solidarity. Donate to Viva Cuba below.

Today MPs, Trade Unionists and civil society organisations are joining us to defend the right to protest and demand our government drop their proposal to give police new powers to effectively ban repeat protests based on their "cumulative disruption".

🚨 We're marching today to show our opposition to the Israel & USA attacks on Iran & Lebanon which are causing devestation. As PSC Deputy Director Peter Leary explains, they stem from the Gaza genocide and Western complicity, including from the British government. Join us!

PSC condemns the illegal war of aggression launched by the US and Israel on Iran. By supporting Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people, the British government has helped to give the green light to this criminal destruction of human lives x.com/STWuk/status/202810117…

Blame for Labour’s defeat lies squarely with Keir Starmer and his clique. They put factional interests over having the candidate best placed to win, Andy Burnham. If Labour is to be the “Stop Reform” party, then the leadership must stop treating progressive voters with contempt - and start appealing to them. That means a return to real Labour values - through policies like a Wealth Tax, public ownership of energy and water, and an ethical foreign policy that are all popular with the public. And it means ditching the approach of trying to ape Reform and kicking the left, that has alienated so many people who have voted Labour previously.
