Was very magical walking up Main Street on my way home tonight. All the shop fronts looked lovely and Christmassy. I love where I live #Haworth #ChristmasMagic

My Christmas treat, a cotton/linen hand cut, wrap around hand embroidered shirt made by a Tatreez collective in Hebron, Palestine, arrived this morning. it's beautiful. It came with a card proudly stating "made with purpose in Palestine" ♥️🇵🇸

Productive morning today at a planning meeting for the Keighley pop up Palestinian Museum which will be open for two weeks in February 2026. Lots of great ideas bounced around I came out feeling energised and excited. Photo of the Palestine essential oils workshop run at the Bradford pop up museum.

I am having to travel over 180 miles (290km) to London to answer charges of "terrorism" for opposing a genocide. I will of course be pleading not guilty. Here are my thoughts . Wish me luck 🍀

It's a long way off but will be very interesting I'm sure.

My heart breaks for the Palestinian children. I just posted a joyous video of their visit to the UK. CADFA informed us that as soon as the group returned home, 3 of the children were beaten & abused by Israeli soldiers requiring treatment. Last year one child we met was shot They're just children 😭

It was a privilege to meet the 8 Palestinian children and their guides in Bradford and Leeds. We helped fundraise with CADFA to bring them over to the UK for a visit. To watch them smile, dance and taste a little bit of freedom was heartwarming.

Met my friend and fellow "terrorist" Cath at Salts Mill in Saltaire for lunch and had a good catch up. We popped into the Peace Museum on the third floor, we were tempted to pretend we were exhibits and sit with our I Oppose Genocide paper signs🤣 Don't worry we didn't 😇

Photo by Mike Bettney it's quite scary I didn't realise how many officers were surrounding me. This looks like something out of a Police state. I held a paper sign, in the rain, sitting quietly in a camping chair. An act of peaceful protest has me banned from Leeds City Centre. No-one voted for this

Draconian protest laws continue. I am now banned from Leeds City Centre not able to go to peaceful pro Palestinian protests & vigils which I've been attending every week for over two years. Excessive & unnecessary. The proscription of Palestine Action interferes with our rights to peaceful protest.

Really didn't want to be sitting again but we have to keep Gaza at the top of the Political agenda and as we won't get fair trials it would seem, I feel I have nothing more to lose. Free Palestine .🇵🇸

Met Peter Oborne, well respected journalist, author and broadcaster tonight at a Stop the War coalition event and book signing. Unapologetically Conservative probably with little c but a thoroughly charming & decent man. Apparently I'm his second favourite terrorist my friend Dru being his first 🤣

Earlier in the year we raised funds via a sponsored walk to bring 8 young Palestinians to the UK for a visit, they will be hosted in Bradford on Saturday 22 November. Support this event if you can ❤️
