"Following the Court of Appeals ruling on 15 June, declaring the proscription of Palestine Action to be lawful, Defend Our Juries is escalating its campaign of defiance. Ordinary people from across the UK are publishing videos professing membership of Palestine Action and inviting support for the group, risking jail sentences of up to 14 years.

See examples of the videos here, here and here. Defend Our Juries says many more will follow shortly.

The holding of cardboard signs, which has led to more than 3,400 arrests under section 13 of the Terrorism Act, leads to summary only trials and a maximum of six months imprisonment. But asserting membership of a proscribed group is an offence under section 11 of the Act, and inviting support is an offence under section 12 of the Act. Both of these charges lead to jury trials, and carry sentences of up to 14 years in prison."

"One hundred and ninety Labour women were elected to Parliament in 2024 the highest-ever number elected to a political party. Yet most voters will be hard pushed to name more than a handful. The PMs own female cabinet ministers are so rarely allowed to exercise their muscle in representing the party, whether in the opinion pages, or on TV, that you can almost forget they are there until reports emerge of the Womens PLP meeting with Starmer."

A drive on the roads in UK, while dodging potholes, is also to navigate a sea of litter. It seems any junction, where for a moment a vehicle might pause, is a reason to offload coffee cups, plastic bags, drink bottles and the odd bag of half eaten chips.

"According to a union complaint seen by the Guardian, the decision resulted in a boy who looks after ferrets witnessing an inappropriate and potentially distressing savaging of a screaming rat.

Another complaint suggests the gored rodent was then stomped to death by a senior staff member in front of prison officers."

"The Guardian view on Israel and the West Bank: allies must protect Palestinian lives and livelihoods

Editorial

Rocketing violence and an economic chokehold have been overshadowed by conflict elsewhere, but the UK and others must stop looking away

The ceasefire in Gaza is a cruel and deadly illusion, warned James Elder, the Unicef spokesman, on Friday. Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians since its declaration in October, says the Gaza health ministry, including 265 children an average of one a day.

The killings and broader humanitarian crisis have been overshadowed by the war on Iran and have diverted attention from escalating violence in the occupied West Bank. Last week, former Israeli prime ministers, military chiefs and heads of security services were among the signatories of a letter accusing its government of doing nothing to eradicate Jewish terror there. Ehud Olmert, one of the former prime ministers, accused Israel of an organized, systematic, state-funded campaign of ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity, with security forces assisting settler violence. Meanwhile, the army chief has reportedly described troops killing like we havent killed since 1967."

I know there's lots of people from different countries on here to whom this might be normal, but in the UK we do not have wasps as big as an adult's thumb ... yet that is what I have just chased out of my truck

(Actually, I didn't 'chase' it ... I've learnt, with bees and wasps, that if you just politely but firmly tell them to 'get out' and point at the door, they usually do!)
