My latest Substack is an open email that I wrote and sent last night.
I wrote an open email of concern regarding the Chair of the @southbankcentre, addressed to @ace_national @DCMS @ChtyCommission @FloEshalomi, also wrote to my local MP @helenadollimore to forward to @lisanandy #FreeIran2026

📌 Update on UK police attacking pro-Shah Iranian rally: "5 or 6 officers kept hitting me with batons & kicking me. Then, they jammed a baton between my arms and twisted it until they broke my arm." We Iranians won't forget this shameless assault on our elderly. @Keir_Starmer
I have no hope for the UK's future. We haven't seen a single crackdown on pro-Hamas rallies. But UK police have beaten the young & elderly for Iran's Lion & Sun flag. Islamists are now governing the UK, & they will be a stain on history for attacking Iranians. @Keir_Starmer

I am in tears. The abandonment of brave Iranians is a tragic miscalculation. The Mullahs’ regime is not as strong as fear-mongers claim. It has nothing to offer its people today. There is a viable alternative. @PahlaviReza has presented a clear plan for a post-Mullah Iran.

This is disgraceful and we fully condemn the brutal action by the Met Police against our team. Watch the live coverage on Tousi TV.

Roger Waters says Iranians don’t want regime change. He also says the police in Iran came out to protect shopkeepers, and were attacked by violent thugs. He’s calling protesters violent thugs. Tens of thousands murdered by the regime, and he’s on the regime’s side. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡!

This video was filmed by one of my friends and sent to me. In this footage, you can clearly see the police kettling people and then launching an attack on them. There are numerous videos from multiple angles that show the reality of what happened. No expert theories are needed

@TousiTVOfficial Outside the embassy of the Islamic terrorist regime in London, police repeatedly struck me with batons and forced me to the ground solely for filming. I was clearly identifiable as a journalist and was reporting from a peaceful anti-IRGC protest. Despite this, I was targeted,

Disgraceful jackbooted thuggish response to a peaceful demonstration by the London police @metpoliceuk
Look at the kind and gentle way the London police are treating the Iranian protesters in front of the embassy. #iran

Shame on the @metpoliceuk! Beating up peaceful pro-democracy Iranians who want to reclaim their Embassy? @10DowningStreet you need to evict the Islamic Republic of Iran from our shores, proscribe the IRGC, shut down the Embassy, and stand with the Iranian people for freedom.
London police violently suppressed the public after one anti–Islamic Republic protester raised Iran’s Lion and Sun flag. Men and women, young and old, were beaten with batons. I myself, a journalist was struck repeatedly with a baton simply for documenting police violence.

BREAKING: The Leader of the Iranian National Revolution, HRH @PahlaviReza, has a new command for Iranians in occupied Iran, announcing the next step of our revolution in reclaiming Iran from the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying us for the last 47 years: "Dear brave

I like Reza Pahlavi. I like his rhetoric about human rights, democracy, and very importantly about peace in the Middle East and between Muslims, Jews and all religions. I think that Iran's transition to full democracy will be a success with his involvement.

Only the leader of a national party saying which Jews should and which Jews shouldn’t be allowed into schools.
Conflating Antisemitism with criticism of the Israeli government is dangerous. The Board of Deputies keep muddying the waters. This isn’t about him being Jewish - it’s about his position as Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

Iran has been without internet and calls for over 70 hours. @Apple please enable satellite messaging for Iran, even temporarily. More iPhones than Starlink access in Iran. People deserve a way to say: ‘I’m alive.@AppleSupport @POTUS #IranRevelution2026 #DigitalBlackoutIran

@SenRickScott @POTUS @elonmusk @Starlink Thanks @starlink for what exactly?! There is a 100% blackout there and there has been zero, big fat zero follow-up on improving the connection inside Iran. @Google @Apple have not done a single thing to have people's phone connect to satellite! Pretty words does not work anymore

Iran has been turned into a sealed prison . Starlink is increasingly unsafe and heavily jammed for civilians. We know that expanding satellite communication bandwidth is difficult — but it is possible. We call on @Apple to urgently expand emergency satellite access over Iran.

Iran is in an internet blackout. People need a lifeline. @SpaceX @Starlink @AST_SpaceMobile @Apple and members of Congress: move fast to enable direct-to-cell satellite connectivity for Iran—so families can communicate and the world can witness. #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranMassacre

Lily is totally bad ass!
'Where are the same people who cared so much about Palestine, for your cause?' 'I want to thank them for staying out of our way!' @MartinDaubney asks Iranian Human Rights Activist Lily Moo about public support in Britain for protests in Iran to overthrow the Ayatollah's regime.

Interesting how quick people are to chalk up the 90-million strong Iranian liberation movement to an “Israeli psy-op,” just because Israel’s interests happen to align with it, Yet, the free Palestine movement was not reduced to an IRGC psy-op by the same crowd, even though the
