My constituent is one of six political prisoners on hunger strike, demanding the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action.

I have written to David Lammy to demand urgent action.

The government knows the truth: the weight of history is against them.

During the general election campaign, a Labour aide told me:

"People think that Keir and Rachel have a secret plan hiding in a drawer somewhere.

They don't."

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems

Streeting will tell anyone who asks that he's not privatising the NHS (he clearly is), that 'donations' (or bribes) have no influence on policy (they clearly do).

Private 'healthcare' is a huge driver of profit & misery in the U.S. - these companies don't pay politicians for nothing...

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

There are some pretty key facts & a whole battery of appropriate adjectives & pronouns missing from this report...

Also, it wasn't a landslide; Starmer received less of the vote share than Corbyn, winning on 36%, which indicates a landslip in political engagement.

1. Placing these two graphs side by side shows why we have a prisons crisis. They can also be seen as a kind of Authoritarianism Index, showing the trend in state attitudes.
On the left is the Crime Survey for England and Wales.
On the right is the UK prison population.

You may have seen that BBC News online’s Middle East editor is taking legal action against me over my work on the BBC’s editorial approach to Israel/Palestine.

I strongly disagree with his claims, and, if necessary, I look forward to vigorously defending my reporting in court.
