A guest post on the Netpol website by Medb McDaid: news that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has been involved in arrests at a London protest should be a matter of public concern. The PSNI has no business in Ireland, let alone Britain netpol.org/2025/10/08/t...

Normally, we speak about the memory of the past.
Today, we speak about the urgency of preserving the memory of an atrocious present.

In Gaza there is an ongoing genocide: mass killings, forced displacements, hunger, and people being killed while searching for food. ⬇️

Today, after decades of campaigning by the families of the 97 people unlawfully killed at the Hillsborough Football Disaster, the government will introduce the Hillsborough Law to Parliament.

The families have campaigned tirelessly to ensure future families don’t face the same injustice.

Lammy's own complicity in the genocide in Gaza hangs heavily over the new justice secretary insisting on a duty to act with "honesty and integrity at all times" or face criminal prosecution. He knows the guilty, like him, will escape justice
Headline in the Guardian on an opinion piece by David Lammy: "Hillsborough, Grenfell, Windrush, the Post Office scandal: the guilty escape justice. Well, not any more"
