I was 10 or 11yo when the IRA hunger strikes happened, too young to properly follow events.
Reading about it now for insight on Palestine Action hunger strikes it strikes me the news blackout is not because Palestine Action is proscribed, but because they know it will have public sympathy.

Alongside fellow Green MPs and Peers, I have written to the Justice Secretary to express my serious concern about the wellbeing and conditions of the hunger strikers.
Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy.

You'll be hearing plenty of lies and propaganda about Venezuela shipping a bazillion tons of drugs via tiny fishing boats (which, incidentally, would have to refuel at least six times to reach U.S. waters) and submersibles (!).

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Yes, important to congratulate our government for this step. Now need full arms embargo, clearer condemnations and targeted sanctions against the genocidal regime, especially to prevent more land theft in the West Bank.

It’s beyond outrageous that UK is continuing to supply arms to Israel, when there is - beyond all doubt - a “clear risk” they could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law. What else are ministers waiting for? Unforgivable complicity
Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law?
Or just say “we did all we could.”
