Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza.

The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

The US has declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat", authorising new sanctions and tightening its illegal blockade.

Trump is trying to starve Cuba into submission — and millions of people will suffer.

This is economic warfare, plain and simple. Hands off Cuba!

Feckless European leaders like Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret

Remember Biden's disastrous "aid pier" to Gaza that broke apart the first time it faced a bit of rough weather. Trump's "Board of Peace" is no more serious as a solution for rebuilding Gaza.

I explain why here: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trum...

There are already deep layers of deceit from western politicians regarding Iran. But that’s not enough for the BBC, which needs to add more of its own.

Overseas care workers go above and beyond to support our loved ones.

How does the government show its gratitude? By making it harder for them to live and work in the UK.

I have written to the Home Secretary urging them to reverse these changes and support care workers instead!

More than 35,000 people in Gaza have completely or partially lost their hearing due to explosions during the genocide.

Israel’s crimes against humanity will be felt for generations — and we will never give up until we have brought about justice for the Palestinian people.

I have written to the Foreign Secretary about the plight of Kurdish people in Syria.

The UK government must do everything it can to prevent any further loss of life, uphold international law, and support a peaceful settlement rooted in equality, inclusion and justice.

The people of Gaza deserve better than Trump’s gang of rogues.

The Palestinian people — and only the Palestinian people — should determine their own future.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state.

The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson?

My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the illegal invasion of Venezuela.

Starmer’s Passivity on Venezuela is Cowardice
Keir Starmer’s evasiveness towards Donald Trump’s assault on Venezuela is a clarifying example of Britain’s ‘special relationship’ of unthinking submission to the White House’s interests.

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s of Palestinians. But the Times speaks only of 'new rules' in Gaza, and 'suspensions' for those who 'resist registration'.

This Australian film on Israel jailing and abusing young Palestinian children is more than 10 years old.

Israel wants you thinking it treats children this way because they throw stones.

No. Children throw stones because generations of Palestinians have been treated this way.

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.

This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!

The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.
