Today, the police informed myself and John McDonnell that no further action will be taken against us, following a Palestine demonstration on January 18th.
This is a victory for the right to demonstrate against genocide. Full statement below.

The Israeli entrepreneur Shalev Hulio gained notoriety for designing Pegasus, the spyware used by governments to hack journalists and dissidents. Today, he is selling a new AI cyber security tool to European states and corporations. His secret asset? Austria’s former leader Sebastian Kurz. [Thread]

The Telegraph based this story on "research" by the "Centre for Migration Control."
In fact, as the Telegraph has now admitted, they simply misread what the DWP data actually says -many of these "foreigners" were UK nationals.
Yet another Telegraph correction forthcoming.

A government minister was asked if he could live on £70 a week.
It was while he was defending the government's onslaught against disabled people.

The Health and Disability Green paper will deliver tiny income gains at the cost of major losses for those with health problems or a disability.
Restricting PIP qualification to save £5bn would mean between 800,000 & 1.2 million people losing support of between £4,200 & £6,300 per year by 2029-30.

Yesterday, a Government press release claimed the number of people “considered too sick to work” had "quadrupled" since the pandemic (a "383% rise"). This is incorrect. In fact, it’s not even close. It's more like 40%.

The DWP claims that more than 200,000 disability benefit claimants are ready to work. The reality is much different, as Big Issue has found.
