It’s worth bearing in mind the activities of Palestine Action were already illegal. But it wasn’t enough to jail them for the things they actually did, such as burglary and criminal damage. They also had to jail them for things they didn’t do. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-decisi...
The decision to uphold the proscription of Palestine Action is completely undemocratic
When the High Court ruled in February 2026 that the proscription of Palestine Action was disproportionate and therefore unlawful, it was somewhat of an anomaly.

Outrageously, the Iranians are repairing the damage far quicker than the US fixed lead pipes in Flint Michigan. This is clearly an Iranian war crime. www.normalisland.co.uk/p/fifa-peace...

I utterly reject the premise that criticising Israel delegitimises you as a political actor. The idea that you cannot participate in politics, that you cannot stand for parliament, because you made an accusation against a genocidal rogue state is ludicrous. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-establ...
The establishment just used antisemitism smears against Chris Kennedy and the Greens fell for it
Chris Kennedy, the Green Party’s candidate for the Makerfield by-election, has stood down for “family reasons”.

How British politics is going to go over the next few years: - Greens announce candidate - Establishment unearths tweets critical of Israel - Candidate apologises and stands down - Greens kill their own momentum dead Absolutely nothing has been learned from the Corbyn years.
AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.
To emphasise how insane this is: Massie’s 2026 vote total would have secured him over 90% of the vote in 2024, but this time it only gave him 45%. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/the-rigged...
The rigged Republican primary in Kentucky shows that you can't vote your way out of fascism

Once, when it could be presented as a distant threat, the danger of reaching a climate tipping point made front pages. Now, as that threat nears, the media – owned by the very corporations destroying the planet – grow ever quieter. Media Lens explain: medialens.substack.com/p/media-myop...

The fact Israel spent $32.6 million to unseat Thomas Massie tells you all you need to know about who was behind the Epstein ring
Itamar Ben Gvir is not an extreme outlier in Israeli society. He is a very normal, typical, regular, average, every day Israeli. His views are perfectly mainstream over there. 90% of Israelis are just like him. This is what our government supports.
Just imagine the "I" in AIPAC stood for Iran. Imagine the American Iran Public Affairs Committee just spent record sums of money to defeat a congressman who exposed a paedophile ring that blackmailed US politicians. But it's fine when Israel does this...
Capitalists keep telling you socialism can't work, but socialism in defiance of US hostility was still better for the Bolivian people than capitalism with US support. Now imagine how socialism could thrive without US interference... www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/it-only-to...
It only took six months for the US puppet regime in Bolivia to fall apart
We were told for years that Bolivia was under socialist dictatorship because Evo Morales would not allow the US to plunder his country's resources.

The speed that Burnham is surrendering to the right, with absolutely no pressure on him, is genuinely a bit shocking. He might be even more lost than Starmer.
BREAKING: Thomas Massie has been defeated by the AIPAC candidate in the Kentucky primary because Republican voters aren't comfortable with politicians who are anti-paedophilia
