Police have raided at least three homes of supporters of the ‘Defend Our Juries’ (DOJ) group, using terror legislation to detain individuals and seize devices. The arrests were in relation to the Starmer regime’s ‘proscription‘ of anti-genocide direct action group Palestine Action (PA). The ban classifies PA alongside the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda as terrorists. Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 makes support for the non-violent group a criminal offence punishable by up to fourteen years in prison. The groups says that the raids targeted: Individuals who have shared videos online declaring support for the unjustly proscribed direct action…

Following the Court of Appeal’s ruling on 15 June, declaring the proscription of Palestine Action to be lawful, Defend Our Juries is escalating its campaign of defiance.

A day later, we reported he was trying to ensnare Zack Polanski into saying he supports Palestine Action – something which would have landed him with a lengthy prison sentence. In other words, he’s a nasty piece of work. And the nastiness has only continued: Grow up. Homophobic innuendo isn’t going to get you out of this one. Neither is pretending you’re a victim of antisemitism, which you conflate with opposing genocide. You’re a government minister trying to get your…

Elon Musk — the seig-heiling owner of X — has become the world’s first trillionaire. As we’ll explain, he’s achieved this by leveraging his power, influence and shamelessness to prove that capitalism is every bit as rotten as we said it is. However, if you ask one of the many thoughtless establishment journalists out there how he became so wealthy, they’ll tell you ‘Elon gets lots of money because he makes rockets good‘. Amid all the predictable seething jealousy and bitter resentment to this news, I’d like to congratulate @elonmusk on an astounding achievement. He’s got there by being the most…
