When I voted against the proscription of Palestine Action, I and many others warned of the draconian consequences it would bring.
Since then, we’ve seen thousands arrested and criminalised simply for holding a sign.
And now this injustice against one of the finest writers of her generation.
An utterly disgraceful attack on freedom of expression.
This ban must be overturned.

🔥”Quite the contrast from the suggestion of cuts”?🔥
The reality is this..since the creation of the single Scottish Fire and Rescue Service over 1200 firefighter jobs lost, response times increased, station closures, fire appliances withdrawn!

Photo of Militant supporting MP for Liverpool Broadgreen constituency (1983-92) Terry Fields.
Terry, who took the average wage of a fire fighter as an MP (donating the surplus to the workers movement), was jailed for refusing to pay Thatcher’s poll tax in July 1991.

This is the reality of life in Gaza that our governments have enabled. Sick.

“They found the remains of one of my sons just 20 meters from our home. It felt as if someone had handed me a precious gift. A neighbor discovered the remains while clearing the rubble from his yard. It was like the wound had been opened all over again. I had already searched every inch of my own yard for my wife and all of my children.”
Hammad, whose wife and all of his children were killed when Israel bombed their home at the beginning of its genocidal war on Gaza.

Great to catch up with Lee & Graeme from @fbumerseyside today to discuss the challenges facing our local communities.
We discussed the importance of properly funding our fire and rescue services to ensure crews have the capacity and support they need to respond to emergencies.

FBU general secretary, @UnionSteveW, attended a meeting on the proposed Duty of Candour legislation.
This is about ensuring public bodies and institutions are transparent when things go wrong. Families, survivors and communities have had to fight for years to uncover the truth.
