"Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."

The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.

Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.

The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state." - Zarah Sultana MP

600 confirmed DWP-related suicides in just three years. Goodness only knows how many attempted suicides that implies, with the load on the NHS that each of those adds. Not to mention the stress and unhappiness of many others.

Truly a scandal! If we wanted vulnerable people persecuted, we wouldn’t have DWP. The department exists, but it is clearly totally failing in its intended purpose. DWP has completely forgotten that it is there to help people, not to persecute them.

The way forward for resident doctors: Unite all NHS workers against Starmer government

The BMA and other health unions—Unite, Unison, the GMB and the Royal College of Nursing—are suffocating a unified fightback by National Health Service workers.

You would think these guys could afford a better wig than this one. 😖

I am tempted to speculate that (a) the English government know very little or (b) they care even less or even (c) some politicians across parties see where their next pay check are coming from. All three are possible as well.

Tom Uren – no 'woke' warrior

The morality Tom Uren learned on the Burma railway stayed with him all his life. He believed in the collective spirit. That did not make him weak.
