Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE.
That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist.

Murdering children is righteous.
Trying to stop it is terrorism.

Some people will argue that the world leaders queuing up to grovel to Trump is just pragmatism. For me it's very much pass the sick bag territory.

Tonight on QuestionTime Anas Sarwar will skilfully avoid answering questions on the Benefit Bill that's caused a Labour Civil War.
He'll leave viewers in favour of them thinking he is FOR them, and he'll leave viewers against them thinking he is AGAINST them.
Or, he will just SHOUT over everyone.

The state isn’t broken, but the politics of the market is. Years of cuts have gutted public services to feed private profit. We need a state that serves people, not markets.

The Modern definition of UK terrorism: anyone who opposes current Middle East policy. Or fears climate change. By all means outlaw criminal damage but this, to use the phrase du jour is an absurd escalation.

Children die first. Join Group for Gaza vigil today at 2pm in Gourock.
It feels like so little in the face of deliberate mass starvation of children but we must bear witness that this war crime is happening in full view of the world.
When a people is being starved, children die first. Israel is intent on wiping out the children in Gaza. It is killing a whole generation of children first using this method.

If this isn’t stopped in the coming critical days we are going to see horrors the like of which we have not ever seen.
UNICEF says children face ‘growing risk of starvation, illness and death’ as Israel bars food and other aid deliveries.
