Delek Group, an Israeli energy giant known to operate in illegal settlements in the West Bank, is set to receive £200+ million if the Rosebank oil field is approved. So we've sent a letter to Burnham - warning him that approving Rosebank could breach his new sanctions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Burnham warned Rosebank oil field could breach West Bank sanctions

Campaigners and Green Party leader Zack Polanski raise concerns about Rosebank's ties to an Israeli firm.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

Rob’s arrest comes as a video is published from himself, Palestine Action Co-Founder Huda Ammori, and Human Rights Barrister Michael Mansfield KC calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to Deproscribe Palestine Action. bsky.app/profile/defe...

A message for Andy Burnham from Rob Del Naja (Massive Attack), Huda Ammori (Co-Founder, Palestine Action), and Michael Mansfield KC. Deproscribe Palestine Action. www.wedonotcomply.org

Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his ‘clarity and leadership’. Today, he’s having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.

BREAKING: Massive Attack’s Rob Del Naja arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Labour Party conference venue. The legendary musician was arrested after peacefully holding “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on a paper sign on the eve of Labour’s conference.

Hundreds will replicate this peaceful action outside Labour’s Liverpool conference on Sunday. Andy Burnham has a choice to make. Support the will of the people and overturn the ban or continue to arrest and prosecute thousands for peacefully protesting. wedonotcomply.org

ABSOLUTE INSANITY Irish Children’s Laureate Chris Haughton has been arrested a number of times for peacefully holding a sign in opposition to the Labour government’s unjust proscription on direct action group Palestine Action. “Nobody wants this law. Just abandon it.”

Labour must keep its promise to end exploitative zero-hours contracts. Reform of zero-hours contracts could be transformational, but only if the government listens to workers’ needs, not employer scaremongering. buff.ly/EPGxnw1

Extinction Rebellion supporters from across the UK marched in London today demanding that the government publish the full, unredacted National Security Assessment and outline a plan for the dangers it identifies. Because we’re all in the same soup and it’s coming to the boil!

They never acted or responded with violence, but they were routinely arrested, convicted, and even imprisoned for temporary roadblocks. Today, violent men blocking roads with hostile intentions are escorted to safety by police. 5/5

Insulate Britain’s campaign for basic home insulation and to progress UK energy reliance away from fossil fuels was met with vilification and attacks by the British media, even leading to physical attacks in the street. In the face of it all, Insulate Britain was right. 4/5

After their 2021 actions, energy costs rose sharply. Living costs are now at their highest in UK history, and homeless families with children are at record numbers. @bmj_latest issued a warning that thousands of excess deaths will occur each year due to rising living costs. 3/5
