How much better would the last two weeks have been if this had been the prime minister's answer to the first question about kneecap playing at Glastonbury?
But that would have required a different prime minister. One with integrity, principles and a commitment to peace.
Where can we find one?

Just submitted my response to the EHRC consultation that closes tomorrow (Monday 30th June). This guidance doc is super useful and makes it just a little easier to complete. I’d say give yourself a good half hour or so to do it though. transactual.org.uk/equality-act...

The Israeli state just murdered Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat.
One of the finest journalists on earth, his courageous work was instrumental in understanding the depravity of Israel’s genocide.
That’s why Israel killed him.
Never forget Hossam Shabat

🚨 Sabra is OUT! But the boycott isn’t over.
Strauss Group just sold their stake in Sabra after years of plummeting sales (down from 60% market share to 36%).
Why? Because of YOU. Boycotters hit them hard by exposing their ties to Israeli apartheid, sticker campaigns, and pushing for accountability.
