The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the poorest 34 *million* people.
The problem is not a pensioner or a young person looking for a job - the problem is wealth inequality.
We need a wealth tax. Now.

👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the Met Police UK. Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".

Today I visited Dan Norie at HMP Elmley on the Isle of Sheppey
He is a gentle, compassionate and powerful soul
He has been held on remand in British prisons for 14 months, accused of getting into RAF Brize Norton and throwing paint on some planes in June 2025 to raise awareness of the UK military’s direct participation in the Gaza genocide
He—and all Palestine Action prisoners—must be freed immediately
It’s the darkest stain on our country that we have people rotting in prison for allegedly taking non-violent direct action to stop a UK-backed genocide, while the politicians who ordered our military and intelligence agencies to participate in it roam free
Free Dan Norie. Free the Brize Norton 5. Free all Palestine Action prisoners

Rajiv Menon KC is facing contempt prosecution for referencing jurors rights.
If the independence of juries can’t be mentioned in court without risking prison, every defendant's ability to receive a fearless defence is put at risk.

A year ago today I was violently arrested dragged down stone steps painfully handcuffed roughly handled by a gang of thuggish police who managed knock my glasses to the pavement, expose the top half of my body, all of my bra and not one of them, man or woman did the decent thing to save me being exposed. I’m 75 now. I didn’t shout, struggle or give any sort of abuse or even disrespect the police. I was peacefully holding a piece of paper with words on- nothing more. I was held in a cell until 11.30 and effectively held under house arrest for weeks. I’m charged under the terrorism act. The court dates keep getting changed and we are a real problem. I feel a connection with the thousands of us who have done this - Im proud that we are fighting for our freedom of speech, our right to protest and against genocide. It’s not much but it’s the least we can do.

We're marching for Palestine on 18 July. We need a huge turnout on the streets to show the new PM that the government must stop arming Israel now and end all support for its genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.

Yesterday evening, some residents of the Al Bureij Camp in central Gaza, were forced to flee their homes by the Israeli military.
Shortly after, an airstrike hit the neighbourhood.
One of MAP's staff members lives next to the targeted area, and was injured in the attack.

A barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience. This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Please join me in asking the government to protect our juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees
