This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.
How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.

At 3AM, November 17, 1973, "The Colonels" sent a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It had been occupied by students protesting the fascist junta. Dozens died, mostly teens, 20s and one boy of 5. Over 2,000 were injured.
The protests it sparked brought down the dictatorship.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇
1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK
2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves
3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward
The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

NEW: 549 Palestinians now killed in the last 30 days.
Itself shocking. But, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS KILLED AT A FOOD AID STATION.
A unique war crime. Firing squads using aid as bait.
Palestinians in #Gaza face two choices: starve to death, or risk death to get food.

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran.
The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

Thank goodness everyone agrees we should crack down on tube fare dodgers. That'll stop them avoiding taxes, crashing the economy, dismantling the NHS, polluting our water, pocketing huge bonuses, making billions from dodgy government contracts, and buying yachts. About time.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.
