🧵2/2: More details here: man on #BigBen livestreamed his climb. He is protesting the arrest of the #Filton18, after their action at #Elbit Systems, #Israel’s largest weapons company. palestineaction.org/not-guilty
Repression of #nonviolent protest is accelerating under #KeirStarmer, with the recent arrest of more than 70 protesters incl. Organisers of #Palestine Solidarity marches, #JeremyCorbyn and The Crow actor Khalid Abdalla theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m

The police, backed by the BBC and The Guardian, are trying to discredit organizers of a London rally against #Israel's actions in #Gaza and #Britain's complicity.

Despite having an agreement with the police, the march was blocked last minute, and protesters, including #JeremyCorbyn and #JohnMcDonnell, were labeled criminals.

This attack on the right to protest highlights a dangerous slide toward #authoritarianism, where the state controls how we can express dissent.

The #londonborough of #hammersmithandfulham is quite interesting politically. Under #conservative rule it was part of the ill fated #triborough experiment - along with #westminster and #kensingtonandchelsea . #hammersmithandfulham left the #triborough after #Laɓour won control of the council in 2014 - also the year when it introduced free home care. The #labour administration there thus predates the national leadership of both #jeremycorbyn and #keirstarmer .
