BREAKING: The Court of Appeal ruled in the government's favour, stating that the Palestine Action ban is lawful.
We will not stop fighting for the ban to be lifted, the end of the use of terror legislation against us, and crucially, for a free Palestine.

Pro-Palestine prisoner Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old with muscular dystrophy, has been dragging himself across his prison cell floor because he has been denied a wheelchair.
He hasn't had access to a shower for over 20 weeks.
He has been waiting for a neurology appointment for over 12 weeks while experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.
This is happening in a British prison right now.

Shocking on detailed article on international arms supplies to Israel. Note that the figures only cover the small part of the arms trade that can be identified through customs data, not including e.g. aircraft and their components. aje.news/2f90pn via @AJEnglish

These are decisions made by the Starmer government in supporting the deadly US-Israeli war on Iran which has killed over 3,400 people.
This does not include the constant and unrestricted intelligence gathering using British bases, such as from RAF Dhekelia.
Shame.
