A massive portrait of Hind Rajab was unveiled in her memory as her mother delivered a speech in Spain, marking two years since Hind was killed. Fly with the angels, precious Hind.

Donald Trump says a "massive armada" is moving towards Iran. The US military build-up in the Middle East has been aided by the UK.

US transport and refuelling planes have been leaving the UK base at Lakenheath in Suffolk over the past couple of weeks.

Your water bills are going up, again.

Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.

It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!

Unlike Labour and Reform, I think Britain’s foreign policy should be decided by Britain, not the United States.

My piece for @newstatesman1913.bsky.social on the need for an independent foreign policy.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his latest insults to British troops, sending Charles, Head of the British Armed Forces, to honour Trump, would be a slap in the face to veterans. Add your name to the petition to cancel this state visit?
Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
