The High Court has confirmed what we all knew: proscribing Palestine Action was unlawful.

The state must stop using “counter-terror” powers to criminalise solidarity and intimidate working-class people out of protest.

The Labour government must lift the proscription now and drop every case NOW.

This morning we will hear the result of the judicial review of the government's ban on Palestine Action, on the grounds that it's a "terrorist" organisation. An important moment, which could have a major influence on freedom of speech and association in this country.

If Jim Ratcliffe wore 10 real £40,000 Rolex's on each arm, and they all got stolen, and he went into London every single day.

It would take him 5,000 days, 13.7 years, and 100,000 Rolex's to pay back the £4bn he has dodged in taxes.

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit.

Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year.

Why isn't Tesco paying?

“Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a ‘terrorist’ group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes": Ammori.

The UN Special Rapporteur’s report so rattled these corporations that they asked the White House for assistance.

If there was ever a need for a global wave of resistance to this might-makes-right order, it is now.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

The Peter Mandelson scandal is what happens when a government abandons its moral compass.

Parliament needs to look itself in the mirror — and ask itself how it became embroiled in a web of lies, abuse and corruption.
