The UK-France deal is disgraceful human trade.

People crossing the Channel have every right to seek safety and a better life.

📢 We spoke to @freemovement.bsky.social about Clause 144 of the Crime and Policing Bill.

This clause would allow people with lawful immigration status to be deported for accepting a caution, risking due process & widening discriminatory policing.

Starmer and Macron are hashing out the refugee “exchange” plan today: for the UK to send an asylum seeker crossing the Channel back to France, in exchange for someone with UK family ties.

It’s grotesque that what is effectively a human trade is so legitimised and normalised.

Every single day, with no exception, Israel is carrying out massacre after massacre in Gaza. The livestreamed genocide continues thanks to Israel's western allies that are too busy cracking down on any signs of dissent at home
BREAKING: At least 19 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip today, say medical sources.

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.

Outrageous that bombing and assassinating thousands is not considered terrorism but mild redecoration of a plane is. #WeAreAllPalestineAction

Proscribing Palestine Action will move a group that uses criminal damage to reject violence - the violence of states like Britain and Israel - outside the rule of law, into the opaque unaccountable world of "counter-terrorism".

Everyone must mobilise to prevent this.
