This is heartbreaking. I unconditionally support the #FreeIran2026 #IranianRevolution2026.
“They might cut the internet. I love you all.” This was #Setayesh_Shafiei’s last message on Telegram. Then she took to the streets in Iran. She was killed by security forces. Only 20!years old. Brave and full of hope. The regime will continue slaughtering unarmed people.

Inspiring news of a group in Leeds who have been shocked by the rise in anti-Semitism in our streets, universities and workplaces, and have resolved to challenge it by forming Our Fight Leeds. Give this group a follow, and if you live in the area--reach out and get involved!

This ‘new evidence’ seems to have prompted Hinchingbrooke School to review its association with Pepys. But why?

Oh look, the head of the main teachers’ union wants to “globalise the intifada”. Thank goodness our children are in such safe hands!

Teachers banned their local MP because he’s a Jew. That they wanted to, that they were allowed to try, that they succeeded, that their union backed them, that they did the bidding of extremists, that they were proud of it, that they’re poisoning children with their hate, speaks

Trustees of @southbankcentre need to investigate this. If he doesn’t want to amplify the Iranian people’s struggles, that’s his choice, but to publicly denigrate Israelis and pro-freedom Iranian supporters of Israel disgraceful. His views are not far off from Nick Griffin.
The ill-equipped chair of the Southbank Centre says he’s refusing to support any Iranians who dare to have Zionist leanings. He talks about the ‘bigger picture’ without understanding that Israel is at war with Iran and its terrorist proxies, not Palestinian civilians who are

Mark Birbeck appeared on Free Speech Nation this evening to talk about: - solidarity with young Iranians - why the left are like 1930s brownshirts - so many parts of the establishment are being implicated in the Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal that it is now our generation's Dreyfus
'They’re not anti-racists. They are now the brownshirts.' Mark Birbeck slams progressive activists harassing a Jewish restaurant in Notting Hill, and says the real threat is the police and politicians turning a blind eye.

"It confirms beyond a doubt the existence of a ‘woke right’. The digital dancers on Good’s grave are a mirror image of the left they love to hate. Like them, they have... have come to see death as a just infliction on people they disagree with."

It used to be the woke left that revelled in the death of its opponents – now the digital right does the same.

What a shocking site in the UK today.
🚨 Over 50 people are at this very moment screaming "shut it down" outside a Jewish restaurant in London. They are shrieking their bigotry in front of the Miznon restaurant in Notting Hill, intimidating customers and staff. 1930s Germany has arrived on the streets of London,

Real organic movements are not “kill or be killed”. It’s about winning hearts and minds. What we’re seeing in Iran is extraordinary. Thank you @TheNewsAgents for helping to spread awareness @jonsopel @maitlis & @lewis_goodall #iranrevolution2026

There was a time when I'd have happily sat down for the National Anthem. Much has changed in the world, and me (!) since then. I love that the crowd take control here, assert themselves and refuse to be told what to do.
Announcer: “We will not be playing the national anthem. Let’s play ball.” Americans: “Step aside, commie.”
