On Saturday, I spoke at a rally in Southend... I expected hostility (we got it). I said what I needed to say. It's a shame that the people hurling racist abuse and swearing at us didn't listen to even a few of my words. You can, though! Here they are.

Today, thousands of us demonstrated outside the US embassy with a message for Donald Trump: hands off Gaza.

The resilience of the Palestinian people will not be broken — and nor will our solidarity.

We will be here for as long as it takes until there is a free and independent Palestine.

Outlandishly opaque statement from @societyofauthors.bsky.social: anonymous bookshop, no people, no jailing, no mention of locations or police forces, bizarre & irrelevant assertion about democracy

WTF is going on there? “Thoughts and prayers” would be better

Is this a statement or a guessing game, @societyofauthors.bsky.social?

"We are concerned by recent press reports on the police raid of an educational bookshop in a country which is governed by a parliamentary democracy."

🚨TOMORROW - National Demo - Freedom for Palestine
📍 Whitehall to the US Embassy
⏰ 15 February, 12 noon

Donald Trump want's to ethnically cleanse Gaza. We cannot let him. March for Palestine and call on our government to oppose his plan. Let's make this the biggest march yet.

British publishing has not exactly showered itself with glory over solidarity with writers under fire in these gen0cidal times—so when some good emerges, it deserves encouragement.

Emergency appeal by @saqibooks.bsky.social. Support it.
