Release the remaining defendants held on remand
Six Palestine Action activists were cleared today of aggravated burglary over a protest at an Israeli weapons firm in 2024. The jury also cleared three defendants of violent disorder and failed to reach a verdict on a GBH charge – charges that are the basis of the group's labelling as "terrorists"

Putting children into poverty to get a cheaper point is certainly a policy position to have!

Most worrying thing about recent revelations is that everything was happening in plain sight
Those of us engaged in radical politics at the time pointed to the corruption and were dismissed as conspiracy theorists
Most journalists still ignoring the important issues of corruption and manipulation

This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Fixed a broken radiator cover today - involved drills and wall plugs and screwdrivers and rulers and more. Trying to feel a sense of pride, but my brain is more focused on berating me for not now doing more things. Hohum.

No word of a lie, I met a friend of a friend who was named Ned Kelly once (yes, named after). He was on Brick Lane, had ridiculous hair and jewellery, and I was either just finishing or about to start teaching yoga that afternoon.

I know attention is on the US/Greenland, and it’s hard to get proper news from Iran, but this from @christinalamb.bsky.social estimates at least 16,000 people have been killed and over 300,000 injured. Many (most?) victims are thought to be under the age of 30
