A fundamental part of being an excellent Mayor is solidarity and community. Palestine is facing a brutal onslaught and I'm proud that Geraldine Coggins - Green candidate for Mayor - is showing clear international solidarity.

If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today marks nine years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Nine years without justice. 72 people lost their lives in a tragedy that was entirely preventable. And yet not one person has faced criminal accountability. Not one prosecution. Not one conviction. Not one person behind bars.

Israeli forces released a video showing the widespread destruction from their assault on the city of Bint Jbeil. The footage shows entire neighborhoods and streets reduced to rubble, reflecting Israel’s policy of systematic destruction similar to that seen during the Gaza genocide.

Don’t be fooled… Israel is repeating the atrocities they committed in Gaza in Lebanon. Their lust to dominate the entire area and totally eliminate anyone who stands in their way are the most severe human rights violations since their own people were subjected to a genocide. LEBANON - PT 1

From bakers to farmers to anyone running a small business - rip-off Britain is squeezing us all. It's time for a real plan to secure our food resilience: supporting farmers, bringing down costs for small businesses, and giving workers proper rights and decent pay.

Israel is blocking the entry of baby formula into Gaza. Why do you think that is? What is it about baby formula that’s so special, so important, that it ends up on Israel’s list of restrictions and confiscations? Is it a dual-use item? NO. So what is it then? What is it?

This is the courage the world needs from those in the media ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I’m trying to imagine the reaction - from the media and our pundit class - if a top ally of Joe Biden had attacked the Jewish identity of a Republican candidate. But Islamophobia is normalized in this country.

The UK government has confirmed it will ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support the direct action group.

In December 2023, the Israeli President Isaac Herzog signed an artillery shell before it was fired to massacre Palestinians in Gaza. He belongs in the dock at The Hague, not platformed on the BBC.

An aid ship headed to Gaza caught fire after a suspected Israeli drone strike. 30 workers were on board delivering food to a population being starved under Israel’s 2-month blockade. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla — and now it’s sending out a distress signal.

Israel has killed at least 62 Palestinians today alone in Gaza. 37 of them were killed in Gaza City, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic. The death toll continues to rise.

Israel has killed at least 80 Palestinians in Gaza in the past 48 hours, bringing the total death toll to 1,001 since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18.

Inspiring & moving talk by @dajanimuna.bsky.social #AAG2025 on green colonialism & ecocide in #Palestine. A compelling account of how infrastructure under settler colonialism is both a site of dispossession & resistance. Great to see many sessions on #Gaza #BDS @geogboycott.bsky.social
