What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

World Cup 2026: Somali referee Omar Artan to miss tournament after being barred from entering US

Omar Artan, who was set to be the first Somali to referee at the World Cup finals, is dropped from the list of officials after he was denied entry to the United States.

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls.

Why is nobody talking about this anymore?

These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Water privatisation has been a complete & utter failure.

It is absurd that the government's report into the water industry didn't even consider public ownership.

That's not a report. That's a political broadcast for the private sector.

Put water back into public hands, now.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.

It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.

It was wrong to slash disability benefits.

Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.

This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.

This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.

It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Palestinians are not “facing” starvation.

They are being starved to death by Israel.

Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity.

End the blockade — and stop the genocide.

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.

The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people.

End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past.

Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice, and for Palestine.

Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits.

If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace.

Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

Our government is sleepwalking into climate catastrophe.

The facts about a planet facing climate disaster are clear. Why won’t this Labour government face them? | Jeremy Corbyn

Labour seems gripped by a form of denialism. The danger is real and incremental change won’t avert it, says Jeremy Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North
