    What is the UK government @Keir_Starmer, @DavidLammy, @HFalconerMP, doing to stop Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza? What are they doing to prevent the same in Lebanon? The UK is complicit. It’s shameful and disgusting. My piece:

    Canadian national Chrissy Archibald named as first fatality in #LondonAttacks. This statement from her family is really lovely. Honour her.

    Absolutely the right decision for the BBC to sack Danny Baker for his Tweet theguardian.com/media/2019/may… Why though is Alan Sugar still in a job? They need to be consistent about racism, or it doesn't mean a thing theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/j…

    The grim levels of state brutality in Germany against those demanding justice, accountability and dignity for Palestinians, and against genocide in Gaza, continue. This from the police in Berlin. There should be travel warnings for Germany.

    This is heartbreaking to hear from the mother of Iyad Hallak, the 32 year old disabled Palestinian man with autism who was murdered by Israeli police in Jerusalem. I hope she gets justice for her son’s death - but I fear she won’t. haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…

    Over 70 UK Parliamentarians call for UK action to stop Israeli plans to forcibly evict Palestinians in Masafer Yatta. The forcible transfer of protected persons in occupied territory constitutes a war crime. "It cannot be business as usual with the UK." caabu.org/news/news/over…

    'If England get beaten, so will she' This is grim. Domestic abuse increases 26% when England play, 38% when England lose & 11% the day after. Powerful from @_NCDV independent.co.uk/life-style/wor… thedrum.com/news/2018/06/2…

    The Sun, part of Murdoch's hateful empire which hounded George Michael for years, referred to him as 'poof' & 'pervert', pays 'tribute'.

    That smile when Priti Patel says “ending the free movement of people once and for all” is absolutely chilling, and “this daughter of immigrants needs no lectures from the north London, metropolitan, liberal elite”. Reckless, dangerous, sinister.

    A powerful intervention from @kitmalthouse on the political failures to end the genocide, ethnic cleansing and horrors for Palestinians in Gaza, and the anti-Palestinian racism so rife, that such horror isn't enough to compel political leaders to act. Shame is all around.

    Shameful BBC erasure of Jasleen’s Kaur’s speech winning the Turner Prize. Solidarity with Palestinians removed. A call for an end to arms sales to removed. Mention of Israel’s genocide removed. Her Palestinian scarf removed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
