Today, Glasgow's Green Councillors wrote to David Lammy demanding urgent action from him in the case of the 8 alleged members of Palestine Action who have been on hunger strike.

This is a crisis - the Justice Secretary must intervene & hear their pleas ✊️🇵🇸

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital.

Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

CCA folk joined a Xmas action at the offices of Grayling, a PR firm who help greenwash Drax, to remind them that they are fuelling the climate crisis. Old growth forest trees from US, Canada and South America are burnt at Drax as ‘sustainable’ fuel.

We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour.

And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership.

It is fuckin' shameful...in a supposed democracy....
Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

I stopped flying, became vegan, became an activist with @scientistsforxr.earth, and left academia to become a filmmaker.
