I went to Westminster yesterday to lobby my MP for Palestine. He didn't show up, but I did notice this dedication to the Suffragettes. Meanwhile in the streets outside people were being arrested for peacefully holding cardboard. share.google/zcqCVhC0klfB...

Budget 2025
One lesso: organise, inform, campaign, protest.
UK Govt wasted 18 months, condemned millions of children to poverty. Today govt announced end of the two child benefit cap.
7 MPs had Labour whip withdrawn for opposing the cap. For 18 months Ministers defended the stupid policy.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, pro-Palestinian activists presented a distinctive protest display showing Netanyahu and his friends Trump, Blinken, and Rubio sitting at a bloody dining table, in reference to their support of the Gaza war, which killed more than 70,000 people.

Thank goodness all these dangerous terrorists have been arrested 🙄 Over 2000 people have been arrested this year since the proscription of a 'terrorist' group, this government is a joke!

I listened to this conversation the other day, and it's *brilliant*.
In a time that can often seem very dark, we're seeing stirrings that give real hope for another way of doing politics, based on integrity and people power: Mamdani in New York and the UK Greens being among the best examples.

There is no accurate reporting, anywhere in the world, on how many people are dying due to climate breakdown.
Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me:
the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the
world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know
because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One might wonder then, why has this story been so prominent in our politics & media over the last 25 years?

This is a must-see film for anyone who wants to understand the history of British colonialist terrorism in Palestine. Our government has 100+ years of blood on its hands. Nothing has changed. I guess our guilt is why this part of our history is not taught in schools youtu.be/2bk9dPHEfWU?...

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.
