my latest for @tribunemagazine touches on the radicalism of the late benjamin zephaniah. in particular, as israel continues its genocide in palestine, it remains important to highlight the departed revolutionary's solidarity with palestinians and opposition to occupation:

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.

🚨BREAKING -- A judge has ruled that four Palestine Action activists will be sentenced with a "terrorism connection". Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, and Charlotte Head appeared in Woolwich Crown Court today after being convicted of criminal damage at an Elbit Systems factory in 2024. Judge Johnson ruled: "I am sure each of the defendant's offence involved serious damage to property, was designed to influence the UK government, to intimidate a section of the public, and was for the purpose of advancing a political or ideological cause". The section of the public referred to by Johnson was employees of and companies linked to Elbit Systems, which he said constitutes a "section of the public". Johnson added: "It follows I am bound by this legislation to find that the offence in each case had a terrorist connection and apply that as an aggravating factor in increasing the seriousness of the offence". This is the first time in British history that terrorism provisions have been used against direct action activists.

BREAKING: Filton24 members Samuel Corner, Ellie Kamio, Charlotte Head, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin AQUITTED OR NOT CONVICTED on all charges by a jury after 8 full days of deliberation

My arrest was political theatre, not policing. Let's break it down: 1. The Coordination: · The Metropolitan Police travelled from London to another city to arrest me. · The charge: A speech from July and 3 social media (X) posts. · The timing: 48 hours before my GMC hearing. 2. The Custody Conditions: · Denied water for 6 hours. · Refused essential medication. · Held in a freezing cell, denied a blanket. · Isolated with a disabled intercom. These are not standard procedures. They are punitive measures. 3. The Admission: An officer explicitly informed me the police would be 'reporting the arrest to the GMC.' This is a non-reportable event. This admission reveals the direct channel of communication between the police and my regulator. 4. The Evidence: We now know two detailed letters were sent from the police to the GMC.The GMC will undoubtedly try to use this at tomorrow's hearing to bolster the same weak case I already defeated. Conclusion: This arrest was a coordinated act of political intimidation, designed to create a media spectacle and pressure the GMC and the MPTS. It reveals a seamless network: Lobby groups → Politicians (Streeting) → Police → Regulator (GMC). They are not following due process. They are executing a strategy. Our British institutions have become enforcement tools for a foreign, hostile agenda—for the 'israeli' jewish lobby—and the entire world can see it. Free Britain and Palestine from jewish supremacy (zionism). Our cause is just. See you at the hearing tomorrow. #FreeSpeech #GMCInCrisis
