Worse than that, I’m afraid: we support wars of aggression and domination prosecuted by fascist supremacists.
The FIFA Peace Prize selection committee members nod solemnly and say they’ve never been more proud
The Board of Peace has wasted no time starting its first war.
A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.
BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL
This matters for everyone.
For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack.
Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.
One of the greats, RIP

Letter from the University and College Union (UCU), dated 8 January 2026, from general secretary Dr Jo Grady to the UK foreign secretary. The letter condemns Israeli military attacks on Palestinian education, including a raid on Birzeit University, calls these actions “scholasticide,” and urges the UK government to hold Israel to account through diplomatic, military and economic sanctions.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military invaded Birzeit University, attacking students with live ammunition.
Israel's scholasticide is a core part of its attempt to obliterate the collective life of the Palestinian people.
We have written to Yvette Cooper urging the British government to take action.
⚡️NEW from Drop Site: Israel Kills Five Children in Surge of Attacks on Gaza “Safe Zone”
Since the October “ceasefire,” an average of five Palestinians have been killed every day.

‘Birzeit University affirms that education will remain an act of anti-colonial resistance, and that the University will continue to be a space for knowledge and freedom, despite all attempts at repression and aggression’

1/Leaders are abducted/allies are threatened but pundits and governments are scratching their heads on what the US is doing. Danish PM on Greenland "It makes absolutely no sense". Why? Because actors using old IR models when we need a new lens. Enter neo-royalism.

Campaign Against Arms Trade are a great source of reliable information and high quality analysis on UK arms sales. They have important resources on UK arms to Israel in the context of the Gaza genocide. Vital that we keep ourselves informed about these things.

Good to see that this hunger strike is now getting some attention, at least in the Guardian.

"Qesser Zuhrah has been refusing food for almost 2 months now"
#C4News last night. The first time I've seen the mainstream news cover the Palestine hunger strikers.

It is shocking that people have been pushed to take such serious action just to be heard.
These events did not happen by accident. They are the result of the government misusing anti-terror laws.

If you're concerned about the erosion of anti racist norms and the rise of the far right, you have to factor in two solid years of bipartisan British complicity in this genocide. What do you think our government's role in this racist bloodbath tells us about the state of our political culture?

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two.
Our evidence suggests that Israel seeks to make the line permanent, as ‘reconstruction’ plans normalise this new stage of Israel’s occupation: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire
BREAKING: Mass 'terror' arrests outside the Home Office of protestors holding signs which say "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
The government is guilty of protecting a foreign genocidal regime, over the lives of Palestinians and our rights.
Lift the ban.
This fragmentation of coverage over multiple subscription services means I have basically given up on watching football on TV now (even when the Toffees are playing). Would rather save my money to go to the game instead.
1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.
