Let's hope the stock market proves good at predicting the future... Investors are interpreting the US midterms as bad news for Britain's biggest arms maker. BAE's share price has plummeted, wiping £6bn off its market value. Peace isn't profitable for the merchants of war.

Trump may appear to have accepted his bombing of Iran lost the Republicans the mid-terms, but that doesn't mean he won't do it again! Should attacks resume, join us, @CND and @iaiw_ outside the US embassy on Saturday to say No to Trump & Netanyahu's illegal war on Iran! ⏰ 1pm 📍 US embassy, Nine Elms Lane, London SW11 7US

But he was arrested for the silence - for singing nothing, which is extraordinary. What are the police thinking? They are completely unsuited - and i suspect untrained - to police words, placards, and behaviour.
The guy who was arrested yesterday outside the Palestine Action court case for pausing too long while singing “In the UK it’s illegal to say I support Palestine Action” has predictably been released without charge.

Officials have confirmed British troops could become involved in direct combat with Russia if deployed to Ukraine – just the latest effort by London to derail any prospect of peace. Andy Burnham should abandon these plans and commit instead to a Europe-wide security pact which guarantees the interests of all.

Absolute disgrace that our Cardiff group has been forced to pull our anti-war tour rally next week due not to the vicar, who supported the event, but higher ups in the @ChurchinWales Odd move for a religious organisation that calls on churches across the UK to "pray for peace"!
Statement. The International Movement Against War - On Tour event in Cardiff will no longer be taking place at St German's Church.

Give back the Venezuelan gold! change.org/givebackthegold
The Bank of England's continued refusal to allow Venezuela access to its own gold reserves is a form of complicity in the Trump administration's aggression, as highlighted by @STWuk's @LindseyAGerman. Join over 14,000 people calling for the gold's return: change.org/givebackthegold

Replying to @STWuk
@STWuk Cymru supports an ethical framework rooted in a vision of Wales as a nation of peace. Public resources should protect people, uphold human rights & invest in civilian resilience. Read our submission to @WelshGovernment consultation: stopwar.org.uk/article/stop-…

Real radical change is required to end the cycle of austerity and war. It won’t be delivered by Andy Burnham and will require the combined weight of the trade unions and all social movements fully adopting the ‘welfare not warfare’ slogan now.

Keir Starmer’s suppression of Palestine Action was one of the tawdriest parts of his unpopular rule. Now, under his successor Andy Burnham, the Labour government has banned activist and scholar Andreas Malm from visiting the country: jacobin.com/2026/11/malm-roo…

Education that’s properly funded. Staff who are respected. Students who aren’t saddled with debt. These are not utopian demands. It is the future that the next generation deserves!

Waiting 20–30 years to settle here permanently is a sick joke & beyond comprehension. This is not integration. It is institutionalised insecurity. Integration cannot be demanded while belonging is denied. @SUTRScotland @Manchester_SUTR @S_LndnSUTRacism @STWuk @GlasgowStopWar
