High Court: proscription of #PalestineAction was unlawful.
Greens voted against proscription, so we welcome this.
Govt must now immediately end its authoritarian attacks on peaceful protest, and fully address its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

The mismanagement of proscription is another example of this government’s misrule.
They can’t get the fundamentals right. They’re obsessed with vibes. They keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Hannah Spencer has always been an ally to the trans community. She has time after time repeatedly spoken in support of trans rights. In her interview with @edpoole1975.bsky.social, she spoke about a time where a known trans ally was mistakenly labelled transphobic.

By-election latest:
A Green Party source tells me the response in Gorton today has been so positive that they're reallocating resources to Denton.
They claim ex-Labour voters say they can't vote for the party with Starmer as leader, so tactical voting doesn't come into it.

Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.
