More evidence refutes Met's claim marcher's 'forced' through police line. Film-maker's footage and testimony undermines even further the Establishment's attempt to criminalise peaceful marchers...

The UK is being privatised, public services are 'small potatoes', zone fever has arrived by stealth.
There is no such thing as 'taking back control'

UK officials destroyed files on one of the most brutal post-war conflicts they fought - the forgotten war for rubber in 1950s Malaya.
It was to cover up their crimes - mass bombings, decapitations, lying, forced villageisation 👇

The figures for rough sleeping and Liverpool right now are scary.
The number of long-term rough sleepers in the city has risen by more than 40% in the past two years. Last month (October), an average of 29 rough sleepers were seen per night.

At what point did governments come to hate ordinary man? How do we redress this? No one should be sanctioned with homelessness!
…. "I went into hospital and because I didn’t declare it, I lost my benefits, my housing benefits - they sanctioned me. So they stopped all my money and I couldn’t afford to pay my rent," he explains.
On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis
A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country
A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation
Palestinian political writer Abed Abou Shhadeh predicts that the Israeli gov't will vote for a Lebanon ceasefire today with little opposition so the military can throw all its weight into the war on Gaza and establish new “settlements”.

I love this.
The UK Govt is seceding entire regions of the UK to private investors such as Blackrock, Blackstone, DP World, PEEL Group and Deloitte in the form of 74 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and 12 Freeports, and it’s happening fast.
The zone rids itself of big govt by adopting localized freedoms.

I welcome the arrest warrants against Israeli PM Netanyahu & his former Defence Minister.
Their barbaric crimes are clear for all to see.
Our Government must commit to enforcing these arrest warrants.
And Governments must now end arms sales and impose sanctions on Israel to stop more war crimes.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
