For too long, Britain has blindly followed the United States as it indulges in disastrous imperial fantasies around the world. It’s time to forge a different path.

Millions of people around the world are living in poverty.

Meanwhile, the rich and powerful commit heinous crimes with impunity.

Our rotten political system rewards dishonesty, abuse & greed. It’s time to replace it with a real democracy that works for the many, not the few.

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 White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

“The independent MP Jeremy Corbyn put the request for a meeting to the justice minister, Jake Richards. When Richards replied “no”, laughter was heard from some MPs in the chamber.”

Read that again. For shame.

The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees.

They’re wrong.

The problems in society are caused by an unjust economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich.

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Prime Minister needs to clarify what legal advice has been received about the visit by Israel's President Isaac Herzog to the UK, and whether his entry is compatible with our obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Politicians of all party's falling over themselves to condemn fascist Israel.

Every one of their silences up until now mean they are all complicit in the horrors that Palestinians have faced.

Too fucking late now.

My call for an independent inquiry into the UK's role in Gaza has passed its 1st reading in Parliament.

We will establish the truth over the UK’s complicity in genocide - and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

Time and time again, the government refuses to answer our questions over the UK’s military cooperation with Israel.

That’s why we are demanding a full, independent, public inquiry. We want the truth — and we want justice.

Last month, I wrote to the Prime Minister calling for an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Today, more than 30 MPs have supported that call.

This is not going away. We will campaign for as long as it takes to establish the truth.

It is unacceptable that two British MPs have been denied entry to the West Bank.

For Palestinians, this kind of authoritarian treatment is a daily reality.

That reality is called apartheid — and our government is enabling it.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.
