***** EMERGENCY *****
Six UK political prisoners are now in the *critical stage* of a hunger strike.
They have been held for over a year with no trial, no bail. This is not justice — this is punishment for refusing to bow to genocide.
#hungerstrike #politicalprisoners
Eight hunger strikers: Amu & Qesser (start date Nov 2) Heba (Nov 3) Jon (Nov 6), T Hoxha (Nov 9), Kamran (Nov 10), Lewie (Nov 25), Umer (Dec 4) are surviving on nothing but their will.
They are not numbers.
They are people with names, families, futures.

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?
Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.
This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.
Fantastic experience this morning with @TheRAC_UK Super quick attendance and so warm & efficient! This is why I've kept my policy for over 15 years! Great work!

Climate protestors Phoebe Plummer & Anna Holland: jailed for 2 years & 20 months respectively after throwing soup at art covered in protective glass.
Huw Edwards: convicted of making indecent images of children & got a suspended sentence.
Sentencing laws aren’t fit for purpose.

Not all men but a husband drugged & raped his wife for a decade. Not all men but 100 local men. Not all men but her neighbour, a nurse, police officer, and councillor. Not all men but thousands of men saw a post to rape her, not one man reported it. Stop telling us not all men.
WOWWW @TheNewsAgents latest podcast 'inside the cult of the far right' is a brilliant listen - disturbing but brilliant. I'm struggling to reconcile my feelings of sadness for the hateful & disenfranchised woman & her children who open the episode. #solidarityoverhate
Replying to @LBC
@LBC caller Gary describing perfectly ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia: "it's like being buried alive but in bed"
We are abandoned by the health service and expected to "push through" dosed with antidepressants. I wish these conditions were actually understood #Fibromyalgia #cfs
@LBC I was diagnosed in 2019 after 'ruling out' other rheumatological conditions. Most doctors today just refer to my symptoms as 'menopausal' despite my diagnosis. I have experienced multiple GPs tell me Fibromyalgia/ME/CFS isn't REAL. my experience is REAL.
@LBC my symptoms coupled with the contempt of the heath service + DWP has left me at times suicidal. Compassion is the first step. When you live in chronic pain, kindness has to be the first step!

Dear @GMB was it really a good look to have privileged, white males @toryboypierce @edballs and @BenPBradshaw aggressively whitesplain racism and Islamophobia to British Pakistani, Muslim woman in @zarahsultana?
Sophie Lewis speaking my language again: 'Imane Khelif's demonization is just the same old shit: revulsion at women who aren't performing femininity the right way; in other words, white-supremacist cisness dressed up as feminism.' @reproutopia #imanekhelif #enemyfeminism
Loved this episode of @TheNewsAgents on @GlobalPlayer with @lewis_goodall and @HarrietHarman she has long been a personal inspiration fighting for social justice for ALL but particularly the voiceless. This episode reveals the challenges she faced:
