Keir Starmer’s one-man counter protest outside the High Court today at the UK arms to Israel case.

Ridiculous - The Danish High Court has ruled that Amnesty International Denmark, Oxfam Denmark, ActionAid Denmark and Al-Haq do not have a legal interest in bringing a case - which focused on the export of weapons parts to Israeli F-35 fighter jets - before the Danish courts. This will be appealed.

Illegal occupation, annexation, and forced displacement can’t be rationalised or ignored for some wider ‘strategic interests’ - such reckless actions will ultimately come back to bite you.

The fascists feel confident - we shouldn’t dismiss these genocidal plans as crazy fantasies.

Caretaker President of Syria met with a delegation of survivors’ associations, families of detainees and missing persons a few days ago in Damascus - it’s progress but clear actions and investment in this file are still needed. On that, progress is still horribly slow.

Most of his Netanyahu ICC tweet is already written - just needs to change a few words. No excuses, really..

The headline is incredibly generous. The actual response from No 10 is extremely evasive. They need a more responsible statement that speaks to their legal obligations, and quickly.

The mighty Billy Cobham at the Southbank Centre. Still groovin’ at 80.

US just voted against a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages.

It would be a positive step if the UK imposes sanctions on Smotrich & Ben Gvir, but totally ineffective if they continue to ignore the entirely state backed nature of the settlements.

The UK has many more tools to show it is distancing itself from the apartheid regime - time to use them.
