It isn't easy in the paranoid Labour party at the moment to put your head above the parapet and call out the bullshit. Respect to Stella Creasy for standing up to this. Denying refugees a pathway to citizenship is anti-integration nonsense and it reeks of desperation.
This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

"I have been wondering why artists are required to dream up liberation in the gallery, but when that dream meets life it is shut down... I want the institution to understand that if you want us inside, you have to listen to us outside” 💗 UK literary institutions, I hope you are listening... 💗
Last night Turner Prize 2024 winner Jasleen Kaur used her acceptance speech to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, to demand an end to institutional complicity in Israels genocide & to call for an immediate arms embargo.
It felt extremely forbidden to take pictures in the fancy concert hall last night so pls accept this terrible pic I took very sneakily, but WOW got to see Samuel Beckett’s Quad performed!! So good!! And then London Sinfonietta performing Morton Feldman’s For Beckett. 10/10 loved it
The chief of staff of Israel's genocidal army visited Britain yesterday for a conference. He wasn't arrested for war crimes. Meanwhile 20+ brave people are in British prisons awaiting trial for resisting the Israeli war machine. There's no better way of illustrating that the law doesn't protect us
"To be beautiful is to be a seashell, so open that all the oceans and the fluids of the earth, of the body, are heard through you. Openness so open that it turns itself inside out and makes a snail-shaped labyrinth that leads to the future.” 🖤 Kathy Acker 🐚
One day, we'll come to see how they laugh to avoid their monstrosity. They drag it forward into light bc it is in the dark that the terrors start. Months/years from now we will note these videos & see it all. The murderous glee come home to destroy some more. May justice fall heavy on them forever.
We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identifying the Israeli soldiers in photos and videos featured in our investigation into war crimes in Gaza. Instead we found soldiers often posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.
Israel's genocidal campaign is enabled by the financial, military, diplomatic, & cultural support it gets from companies around the world The Watermelon Index, a tool for worker-led resistance against the genocide in Palestine. Database of over 400 complicit companies and the campaigns against them

No worries Yvette, it's actually a matter for us as a small literary publication. And yes, he should be arrested. Other Rome Statute signatories who have questions are free to check in with us for answers! Always happy to help.
BREAKING: “That's not a matter for me as home secretary" says Yvette Cooper when asked if Israeli PM Netanyahu would be arrested if he was to come to the UK following the arrest warrant from the ICC
beautiful day for the ICC to issue arrest warrants, and every day until the end of time will be a beautiful day to remember Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken should also be liable for aiding and abetting genocide
