Palestine Action-linked hunger strikers may die without Lammy’s intervention, lawyers say Justice secretary criticised for refusing to meet lawyers who say their clients’ health is ‘rapidly deteriorating’ Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers are likely to die without David Lammy’s intervention, lawyers representing the prisoners have said as they criticised the justice secretary for refusing to meet them. Solicitors wrote to Lammy last Wednesday to request an urgent meeting before their clients’ health deteriorates “beyond any possible recovery”. But a subsequent letter sent on Tuesday said that his reply, received on Monday “does not directly address our request”. Continue reading...

Speaker blasts Lammy for failing to respond over hunger strikers Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle has carpeted David Lammy.

Scotland bands funding for Israel's arms dealers. A bomb with a Scottish flag is scored out. Scottish Greens.

✅Scotland is to BAN funding for Israel's arms dealers!

Scottish Greens have long fought for this change, alongside @amnestyscotland.bsky.social, @oxfamscotland.bsky.social, and others.

@gordonmckee.bsky.social If the government can't stand up to Israel for the sake of Palestinian children, can you please stand up to the oil execs for all the children?

Starving Palestinians are being mowed down every day, simply for queuing for food. That is the real crime.

My speech against the government's proscription of Palestine Action.

The SNP have just announced that they will continue to fund Israel's arms dealers here in Scotland.

Since 2022 Scottish Enterprise has given arms firms linked to Israel nearly £3 million. Tax payers money should not be given to those profiting from genocide.

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

So if you don’t want to live in a world where writing an article like this becomes punishable by up to 14 years in prison - as it will be, the author notes, if Starmer gets his way - then the time to stand up and be counted is *now*.

Had the Suffragettes only engaged in peaceful protest,the state would have crushed them, & ironically Yvette Cooper wouldn’t be able to vote, let alone become Home Sec. We all owe a debt to direct action & unpeaceful protest.

David Lammy's response is absolutely disgusting.

We stand with Quakers of Britain in condemning yesterday’s meeting house police raid.

Quakers have always held space for discussing moral issues. This raid is a violation of civil liberties and a desecration of a place of worship.

A full apology is needed.

Carbon capture plan is a colossal waste of money | Letters Letters: The government’s carbon capture scheme is an expensive distraction, argues Dr Richard Carter, while Kate Macintosh and Edric Brown call for a more far-sighted solution to curb emissions

"The only proven carbon capture is the fossil fuel industry’s capture of our media and politicians, as evidenced by this new form of fossil fuel subsidy." 👏👌

They're hanging up the hi-vis , but they've achieved their mission: no new oil and gas licenses is UK Govt policy .

So , top work Just Stop Oil– some may disagree with the method but they can't fault your motive .

The fight for a liveable planet continues .

Israel just blew up a hospital completely in Gaza.

There's no other regime I can think if that has targeted medical workers and health facilities as persistently as Israel.

Horrific, unceasing crimes against humanity.

Love it.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...
