If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

FFS just watched #hignfy still having a go at Labour. The OBR stated on 2nd December before this recording that Rachel Reeves did not mislead anyone, what happened to fact checking? This is not a good look for Hislop, Merton or Fry. Poor.
December 5, 2025 at 10:12 PM
#Googlebox repeating #BBCNews bs about Rachel Reeves and the budget ffs. Not the fact the OBR came out and said the Chancellor did not exaggerate the position. Also where has #uriahheep Mason gone with his apology to Rachel Reeves.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Immigration Special on #bbcqt ffs to stir up reform talking points. I look forward to the Russian collaborators special.

Fair play they gave it a full 30 seconds after spending everyday since the Budget giving it top billing claiming to have been misled. Very weak #bbcnews

Surely having Russian supporters in the Reform party would make them more unpopular than this government but not according to Mason, Robbie Gibb’s spokesperson on #BBCNews

Sorry @mrjamesob.bsky.social . For the first time I have had to switch off. The delight in recovering the hostages is lost in the propaganda and I hope the Palestinians have the same opportunity to broadcast their views. @lbc.co.uk

Reform spokesperson Mason clearly did not like being corrected by Keir Starmer over ‘nuance'. Laughable that the #BBCNews think Mason is remotely credible.
Such a fragile little ego.
October 1, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Mason is a snivelling pompous weasel. BBC please do better. Ed Davey did well holding his temper.

Your updates are very helpful in countering the spurious expectations not required by the Reform party via Mason and the BBC.
So fed up of people being so bloody negative about anything.

Anything the Labour government does has people being negative about it without providing any evidence beyond a 'feeling' or because what past governments might have done, or because the plan doesn't fit completely with their own ideas.

@ottoenglish.bsky.social filling in some of the inconvenient gaps in popular historical narratives makes a very entertaining and informative read. An interesting overlap with @davidmcwecon.bsky.social book Money in the fascinating and compelling story of Roger Casement. #booksky #greatreads

#bbcnews Mason referred to graffiti sprayed on Angela Rayner’s home as commentary, not vandalism. Followed by Moritz finding 3 Vox pops to slag her off. Independent BBC? Mason mentions Farage with his 4 mp’s as a threat to Labour several times, followed by an article on the reform conference. WTF

Chris Mason reform spokesperson back on #BBC1. No actual news from him just opines on the threat posed by the 4 reform MPs. Sun level reporting. FFS.

Worth reminding all those complaining Brexiteers about the actual mechanism we had pre Brexit👇
Reform supporters … did you vote for Brexit? If you did then this is all your fault! Simple isn’t it?!

Here’s some hard facts for a right wing media desperately trying to create a false narrative - Ecotricity has never had subsidies (fact one). The various industry schemes that get cited as subsidies - are not subsidies, they involve no public money (fact two).

Giving Farage a free ad paid for by licence fee payers. Clive Myrie must be cringing inside.
