Staggered by the utter idiocy of the Guardian promoting camping stoves in a heatwave when wildfires are a serious threat, and with no advice on how not to set the local area ablaze. Just take a bloody picnic 😡

The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.

Interesting background to this astonishing move by Labour. Meanwhile is anyone talking about how bad the security is at our RAF bases?

Free speech target or terrorist gang? The inside story of Palestine Action – and the plan to ban it
It started as a group of activists on a budget – now it could be banned under terrorism laws. But were lobbyists behind the proposed ban?

I support Palestine Action, and the right to protest
If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.

This is a crime against humanity
Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.

There's lots of good reasons to vote Green on Thursday. Tactically to stop Reform is one of them.
If that's your motivation, have a look at this site.
Our planet is in crisis

This week, many in the UK will stay home and ignore the local elections and allow Trump-supporting ghouls from Reform to win power

Or in these seats, voters could flip the national narrative
