Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has since said that figure will be a target to work towards in the second half of its first term in power. Last week the party was forced to deny reports the pledge will be watered down further.”

You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.”

@keir_starmer Is as untrustworthy as Johnson, as inept as Truss and as out of touch as Sunak. He should do the decent thing and resign. Time for @andyburnhamgm to step up and help save the Soul of @uklabour

We’ll done Team! No interference from the authorities! So why is Trudi Warner being charged with perverting the course of justice for the exact same action?

I’m outside Birmingham Crown Court supporting defendourjuries.org action. The wording on this poster is a direct quote from the Plaque at The Old Bailey dating back to 1670 defending the rights of jurors. Those rights are now under attack.
