Some background on this footage. I think police swept in because they were desperate to get an arrest on camera. By this stage, several hours in, they’d arrested maybe 50 people. Unfortunately, they tackled her just as she’d finished telling me about her grandparents’ and father’s experiences of the holocaust. It was an incredibly jarring and utterly grotesque moment

💥 The Dream Team 💥 The former paid Israel lobbyist who was parachuted into a Labour safe seat in and ended up getting 2,000 fewer votes than in 2019 with the former Tory voter parachuted into a Labour safe seat who ended up getting 10,000 fewer votes than in 2019.

EXCLUSIVE: Lloyds Bank refused a mortgage to the mum of Palestine Action prisoner Ellie Kamio, citing “adverse media”. Lloyds also debanked Ellie while she was on remand, before she was convicted of any crime.

Can't help but notice that Jeremy Corbyn is an MP but Starmer isn't.

RIP Dolly, legend of legends

The government’s single response to the wildfire risk is pushing a button and freaking us all out. My colleague @AaronBastani takes a more serious approach today

The National Alert message about wildfires that all went off simultaneously in the Morrisons I’m in stopped literally everyone in their tracks. Glad to see the government taking the drought seriously, but are potential car crashes etc really called for?

Cope. The bookies just raised Nige’s chances of being out as Reform leader next year, the result was much worse than he wanted, and his stunt got a comedy bin 27% of the vote, one with whom, thanks to global media attention, Farage will be forever associated everywhere.

Beta-Fox News and a Trump’s 2016 comms strategy - I smell a winner!

This is insane There’s Jenga here Patrick This is a firepit Hi Kai-pa-ur This is insane

Pure comedy. 62% of votes cast where no other parties stood a candidate is a big win these days. Inflation be crazy. Never mind that it means a third of the constituency – 13,000 people – preferred the lolz options

Reform put a ton of effort into the Gorton and Denton byelection and lost. Turnout: 47.5% They threw it all at the Makerfield byelection and lost again. Turnout: 58.7%. Clacton's turnout is 43%. If Farage wins, we'll have learned that Reform is capable of regaining its own seats when everyone stays at home and the opponent is a bin

Yvette Cooper, appearing on her husband’s podcast (he’s away), declares Starmer’s govt a failure. True of course, but she played her part. It was Cooper’s mental decision to turn the country’s grannies into terrorist offenders that has wasted infinity police time and made us a global laughing stock theguardian.com/politics/202…

.@StevenJMethven: "Whether clapping is now supporting a terrorist group is a really good question" That this question even has to be asked - whether just clapping makes you a terrorist, is a sign of how far our govt has gone in its efforts to protect a genocidal apartheid regime

“I feel like I’m living in a nightmare.” Police arrested multiple people under the Terrorism Act at a Palestine Action protest on Thursday even though they did not appear to be expressing support for the proscribed group. Novara Media’s @StevenJMethven spoke to people who said they were being wrongly detained under section 12, which prohibits showing or inviting support for a terrorist organisation and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. “I have not breached the law in any way,” one woman said. The Metropolitan police said officers made at least 152 arrests at the protest outside Westminster magistrates court. The majority, 134, were made under section 12. Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation last year after its members repeatedly damaged weapons factories that were supplying arms for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Thousands have been arrested since the ban for holding signs that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” A challenge to the ban will be heard at the supreme court later this year.

BBC executives have admitted the broadcaster was wrong to interview a former chair of Labour Friends of Israel without informing audiences of his links to either the country or weapons manufacturers thenational.scot/news/264267…

Just sitting on the pavement is now terrorism. Not saying anything, not holding or displaying any signs, just sitting on the pavement Opposition to our govts support for genocide will not be tolerated and must be crushed. Reporting by @StevenJMethven for @novaramedia

Yesterday the Met arrested people under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act (up to 14yrs in prison) for sitting on the pavement. Not holding a sign, just sitting. @StevenJMethven: Andy Burnham must be thinking, this is idiotic, "I don't want this on my record" Do you, @andyburnham?

Setting up a podium for people to read poems is now terrorism. Andy Burnham can stop this. He isn't.
