The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.
Instead, governments — including our own — allowed Israel to act with total impunity.
Israel’s reckless strikes on Iran are the product of that impunity. They represent a shameful failure of global leadership. And they are a threat to the safety of humankind across the world.
Our government needs to wake up, end its complicity in Israeli war crimes and defend international law.
That is how we bring about urgent de-escalation, end the genocide and stop the world from being dragged into a catastrophic, nuclear war.
We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is enough to try and bring about a world of peace.

A tidal wave of darkness is coming.
Wales must prepare for the worst and fight with everything we have to protect our language, culture, democracy, history & communities.
If they succeed, Wales is finished. There will be no more Cymru.
That should terrify all of us.
Nigel Farage has said Wales is now the priority for Reform following the party's recent success in local elections in England. itv.com/news/wales/2025-05-1…

KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.
Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.
Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.
We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.
This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.
All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.
At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.
Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.
This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.
To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.
Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.
No smear campaign will change that.
Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.
The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.
Shame on them.

Swansea City is delighted to announce a new era for the club, having received EFL approval today for a change to the club's majority ownership.

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.

If the sight of human beings burning alive won’t stop the UK government supplying arms to Israel, what will?

When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.

🚨L'ignoble campagne de calomnie et de haine que subit Imane Khelif est sans précédent et ne tient sur aucune preuve médicale ou biologique.
Bien que nous trouvons ça lunaire d'écrire ces lignes : Imane est une femme, elle est née femme, comme le prouve la photo ci-dessous.
Cependant, elle souffre d’hyperandrogénie (taux d’androgènes dans le sang supérieur à la normale), maladie qui a pour conséquence un taux de testostérone supérieur à la normale.
Ce problème de taux de testostérone trop élevé lui a valu une disqualification des mondiaux de boxe 2023. Depuis cet épisode, Imane suit un traitement et les choses sont rentrées dans l’ordre puisque elle a été autorisée, par le CIO à participer aux jeux olympiques 2024.
D’ailleurs, le porte parole du CIO, Mark Adam a déclaré ce mardi : « Imane est une femme dans son sport, et il est établi dans ce cas que c’est une femme. »
En vérité, cette polémique a été créé par les médias américains pour pouvoir s’en prendre à leurs véritable «target» : les jeux olympiques 2024. Et Imane a été choisi comme cible pour pouvoir attaquer ces JO, qui, depuis la cérémonie d’ouverture suscitent de grandes critiques, notamment aux États Unis.
Nous avons également constaté que d'autres personnes, aux raisons inconnues ou connues, profitent de cette polémique pour cracher leur haine de l’Algérie et utilisent Imane pour pouvoir atténuer leurs frustration de l’Algérie.
Comme nous le faisons depuis plus de 24 heures, nous appelons tous les algériens des réseaux sociaux à se mobiliser afin d'apporter leurs soutien à Imane et faire bloc contre les conservateurs complotistes américains qui ont choisi de faire d'Imane leurs bouc émissaire.
Nous ne sommes pas un peuple qui laissons nos concitoyens se faire diffamer, dénigrer et insulter sans agir. 🇩🇿

This morning I’m thinking of the grieving families of Bebe, Elsie & Alice. We will not let acts of hatred tarnish their memory.
The mob in Southport may have gone home, but the threat of the far right remains.
This is a wake-up call for those who have emboldened them by parroting their rhetoric and pandering to their ideas.
The only antidote to hatred is hope. The vast majority of people in Southport, and across the country, respond to horror the only way they know how: with compassion, unity and solidarity.
They should inspire us that, if we come together, we can bring about a kinder and safer society for all.

Attacking mosques and chanting Islamaphobic abuse. Let's not pretend the far-right care one jot about children murdered in Southport. These thugs are scum who are exploiting the killing of children for their own bigoted ends.
This is what happens when you appease the far-right.
