🚨 Action anti-avortement scandaleuse au sein même du Parlement 🇪🇺 !
Des députés du groupe de Marion Maréchal déplient une banderole sur laquelle il est inscrit "C'est une vie, pas un choix".
Les conservateurs vont de plus en plus loin pour priver les femmes de ce droit fondamental.
Au nom de mon groupe @Left_EU, je saisis la présidente du Parlement européen !

devastating speech by the UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs.
"...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you"
"[in the West Bank] recently [Jewish] settlers abducted a 13 year old girl and her three-year-old brother. They were found tied to a tree. Do we also say to them that we did all that we could?"
"Future generations will hold us to account, we should fear that judgement."

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!
Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.
That's +26,000 members in the last week.
Hope is feeling normal again....

🚩My new report is out.
With their actions and omissions, third states have enabled the oppression of the Palestinian people and their genocide.
Those states have an obligation to stop their complicity and deliver justice.
And We The People, have to make it happen.
"Gaza genocide: a collective crime." Absolutely read @FranceskAlbs's new report about how Third States have provided direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation in the Gaza genocide. ohchr.org/en/documents/count…

My arrest was political theatre, not policing. Let's break it down:
1. The Coordination:
· The Metropolitan Police travelled from London to another city to arrest me.
· The charge: A speech from July and 3 social media (X) posts.
· The timing: 48 hours before my GMC hearing.
2. The Custody Conditions:
· Denied water for 6+ hours.
· Refused essential medication.
· Held in a freezing cell, denied a blanket.
· Isolated with a disabled intercom.
These are not standard procedures. They are punitive measures.
3. The Admission:
An officer explicitly informed me the police would be 'reporting the arrest to the GMC.' This is a non-reportable event. This admission reveals the direct channel of communication between the police and my regulator.
4. The Evidence:
We now know two detailed letters were sent from the police to the GMC.The GMC will undoubtedly try to use this at tomorrow's hearing to bolster the same weak case I already defeated.
Conclusion:
This arrest was a coordinated act of political intimidation, designed to create a media spectacle and pressure the GMC and the MPTS. It reveals a seamless network: Lobby groups → Politicians (Streeting) → Police → Regulator (GMC).
They are not following due process. They are executing a strategy.
Our British institutions have become enforcement tools for a foreign, hostile agenda—for the 'israeli' jewish lobby—and the entire world can see it.
Free Britain and Palestine from jewish supremacy (zionism).
Our cause is just. See you at the hearing tomorrow.

Really delighted to be in Swindon where we have announced a new Green group of 3 councillors! 🎉
They're not leaving the Labour Party - the Labour Party have left them. 🥀
They've joined the party fighting to lower your bills - and tax billionaires. 💚

EXCLUSIVE: The UK Government has refused to publish any files relating to a secret meeting held with a top Israeli minister, saying that the documents could 'be open to misinterpretation, which would damage our relationship with Israel'

Hey everyone. It's the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize chatting it up with the guy who's wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court.
I spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today and thanked him for his warm congratulations to the people of Venezuela on our 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
We Venezuelans deeply value peace, and we know that achieving it requires immense courage, strength, and moral clarity to stand against the totalitarian forces that oppose us. It’s no surprise that the Iranian regime—a key supporter of the Maduro regime in Venezuela—also backs terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. This alignment underscores the global nature of the struggle between freedom and authoritarianism.
Just as we fight for freedom and democracy in Venezuela, all nations in the Middle East deserve a future built on dignity, justice, and hope—not fear.
We hope that the full implementation of President Trump’s visionary plan will contribute to achieving a just and lasting peace in the region.
Ultimately, peace requires freedom, and freedom demands courage and strength.

Where are the states that should monitor the ceasefire?
Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times since the truce came into effect in early October, killing 38 Palestinians and wounding another 143. theguardian.com/world/2025/o…

Israel is responsible for 95% of journalist and media worker killings in the Middle East since October 7, 2023, according to CPJ data. More than three in every four journalists and media workers killed worldwide over the past two years were Palestinians in Gaza.

All Nobel prize winners deserve our admiration — we at UNHCR wish to congratulate in particular Omar Yaghi, who was awarded the #Nobel prize for chemistry yesterday and who grew up in Jordan in a Palestinian refugee family from Gaza.
Respect.

The fight for HIV medicines taught the world that science only saves lives when it is shared. Today, that lesson is at risk of being forgotten. But we are on the verge of an HIV prevention revolution—we still have the chance to end AIDS by 2030.
This is a watershed moment in the fight to #endAIDS as a public health threat. A price of $40 per person per year is a leap forward that will help to unlock the revolutionary potential of long-acting HIV medicines.
@GileadSciences now needs to match that ambition by reducing its price for #lenacapavir, being completely transparent on cost and pricing, expanding its generics license to include all low and middle-income countries, and allowing more people in developing countries to rapidly access these life-saving medicines.
