The strikes aren't over. While some strikers ended protests following the governmentβs decision to deny a 2 bil contract to Elbit Systems, Umer Khalid will soon begin week 3 of his strike. Let's pressure the government with him, and demand justice for those punished for direct action for Palestine!
βBut people in Iran are literally being killed by the governmentβ - well, the British government watched hunger strikers starve in prison without being convicted for over two months and didnβt take any action.
Labour condemning violent crackdown on protestors in Iran while spending 2025 arresting people for holding placards and opposing genocide is another level of hypocrisy.
This is the energy we should carry onwards!
But we also see people of Iran standing up to a regime despite blackout and repressions. People in the UK & US organising against genocidal, anti-immigrant institutions in power. People in Venezuela and Greenland opposing foreign intervention and continuing to fight for self-determination.
2026 started with chaotic and difficult news.
Trump attacking Venezuela and threatening to attack Greenland and Iran is nothing else but modern day imperialism.

Ukrainian military has also entered Sudan, seeking to weaken Russian interference.
Eastern Europe is directly involved in this genocide and we have the responsibility to speak up about it.
Russia has been supplying arms and military advice to both the RSF and SAF to gain access to resources and to further its military expansion in Africa. Russia is playing both sides and blocking international interference in this genocide, because it profits from the bloodshed.
Eastern Europeans, the genocide in Sudan is closer to our homes than we think. Guess where Russia gets gold to fund the full-scale invasion of Ukraine? Yes, in Sudan.
βͺοΈ the Labour government profits from genocide
βͺοΈ uses migrants as scapegoats
βͺοΈ demonises queer & trans people
βͺοΈ criminalises our right to protest
At this rate, Reform will inherit a government with the infrastructure of authoritarianism already built out. Labour got the job done.
Can we have the same energy for Labour as we have for Trump?
People know that Reform is the UK version of MAGA but forget Labour is paving the path towards the far-right.
Let us remind you that just like Trump...

Itβs 2025 in the UK which is supposed to be democratic and people are getting arrested for holding up banners?
This government has blood on their hands and trying to shift the blame to people who actually oppose their violence isnβt going to fool us. Weβll continue this fight π₯
- Keep the pressure up by protesting & contacting your MPs ahead of the third reading of the bill on Wed 9 July
- Campaign to reverse the bill before it comes into power in Nov 2026
- Check on your disabled friends and neighbours!
We canβt achieve a truly just society without disability justice!
Disability isnβt something you can put deadlines onto. This bill is an ableist policy seeking to divide disabled folks into categories, and weβve seen this tactic used by the government on migrants.
But we can fight back! β¬οΈ
This will prevent disabled people who newly become unemployed from receiving the financial support they need and deserve. This will also exclude people who become disabled after this date, children born with disabilities after this date and people who receive their diagnosis after this date.

While this is not a complete scrap, it leaves room for hope. Unlike another element of the bill which passed:
From April 2026, new claimants for universal credit (UC) health element, will still see their UC health element almost halved and frozen. What does it mean in practice? β¬οΈ
Labour had to delay proposed changes to PIP eligibility. They promised this through a verbal contract. It will be pending review in autumn 2026, led by Stephen Timms, the Minister of State for Social Security & Disability. Gov said they want to co-produce with disabled communities on this.
