Local government may seem far removed from the fight against Israeli apartheid, but the lesson from South Africa says otherwise. When Mandela visited Britain, he praised council anti-apartheid activism. Me on @PSCupdates's Councillor Pledge for Palestine: https://t.co/O5ZKPRIzG5

Today we occupied a Barclays branch in central London to demand they stop funding Israel’s genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. Tomorrow (17 January) join an action at a Barclays near you to demand Barclays #StopArmingIsrael. Find your local action at the link

Hillsborough Law Now statement: The proposed amendment of @IanByrneMP is the only way to ensure the public accountability Bill presented on Monday is *the* Hillsborough Law. 🧵 1/13

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk — and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty

New Year, New Mayor.

My warning as the new head of Unison: never again will we prop up politicians hostile to unions https://t.co/E3oi9jrP14

🚨 I am delighted to have been elected as UNISON's next General Secretary. This is a win for ordinary UNISON members. Read my statement below:

In 1985, councils representing two-thirds of Britain's population had adopted policies supporting the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. Today, inspired by that example, we are launching the Councillor Pledge for Palestine. Find out more below https://t.co/4nN4TS3CYu

Councils invest more than £12 billion in companies complicit in Israel’s crimes. Local government once helped isolate South Africa’s apartheid regime — and has the power to do so again.

Today we are launching the Councillor Pledge for Palestine! 🇵🇸 We are asking all councillors in Britain to use their position to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people. Watch the video to find out more and use the e-action below to ask your councillors to make the pledge.

Labour MPs and party members who are still "Friends of Israel" (LFI) were having a secret festive jolly in London today, but they can't hide from their complicity with genocide and apartheid. We were there to call them out.

The launch of a new party was meant to reenergize the British left. But Your Party’s founding conference showed a Left that had forgotten the outward-facing mass politics of the Corbyn-era Labour Party.

The holidays are coming but Coca Cola is not bringing festive cheer to Palestine. Its Israeli franchisee operates on illegally occupied land stolen from Palestinians who live under Israel's apartheid system. Tis the season to #BoycottCoke

As well as celebrating Mamdani’s incredible victory, it would be good if people on the British left tried to learn from him, rather than doing almost the exact opposite to him.

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani! You ignited a grassroots campaign, built on the radical idea that everyone deserves to live in dignity. This is a seismic victory — not only for the people of New York, but for all those who believe that humanity & hope can prevail.
