Together with cross-party Parliamentarians I have written to the Home Secretary calling on her to accept today's ruling on Palestine Action.
Instead of criminalising those protesting genocide, the govt must examine its own complicity and work to support justice for Palestinians.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

UK Dept of Work and Pensions deducted £32.4m from Universal Credit to pay poor people's water bills.
People in the North hit the hardest.
Water companies pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay, fleece customers, don't pay fines.
Now allowed to rob the poor, with full complicity of the state.

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.
We are so much better than that.

Palantir is throwing the MoD a party to celebrate its untendered £240m contract.
It would already be inappropriate for any member of Govt to attend, given what we know about how Palantir has facilitated genocide in Gaza and been complicit in ICE deportations.
Now, it would be unacceptable.
