“Instead of pursuing the path of endless escalation, Stop the War has a simple proposition – immediate peace negotiations involving all the belligerents.” Read Vladimir Unkovski-Korica in today’s @ScotNational. thenational.scot/news/world/…

A desire for lasting peace in Europe does not equate to appeasement

This is where Kier Starmer (and before him Suella Braverman) lost their jobs: trying to repress the Palestine movement. But we will still be defending the right to protest long after Sir Keir is forcibly retired by his own MPs.

We wouldn't be in the place we're in this morning if the police had acted differently. The annual Nakba march is a landmark. We asked the Met for a route - by March they'd granted the political centre of London to Tommy Robinson Our @JohnWRees on this morning's @BBCr4today

American bombs have set the Middle East on fire. And even as Trump "negotiates" with Iran he is imposing a brutal seige on Cuba. A growing coalition is forming to oppose this violent and predatory empire. Join the National Demo - Break With Trump!

Stop the War Scotland's @MccailColl: "The idea that Britain hasn't been involved in the war up to this point is preposterous. "As is the idea that the US distinguishes between offensive and defensive strikes."
Coll McCail@MccailCollMar 21
Keir Starmer is dragging Britain into Trump’s war with no democratic consent. The consequences will be disastrous at home and abroad. On @LBC earlier today.

Mine and Ben Jamal’s trial is over… except for the verdict and sentencing! This will take place on the morning of 1 April. For now I just want to say a heartfelt thanks to the many people who have shown support in the 14 months since I was arrested last January 18. ✌️

Even as the US bombards Iran, it is threatening Cuba. This is a predatory empire which has openly abandoned international law and the rules of war. It's time to break with Trump! 📍McLennan Arch, Glasgow Green 🗓️ Sat 11 April 🕚11 am

If not now then when? Details of Saturday’s demonstration now out. Please don’t just come but repost, share and spread the word everywhere. The majority of the population oppose Trump’s madness. Now we have to act to stop it.
