Today, I spoke outside of Belmarsh Prison, where Julian Assange is being unjustly kept in solitary confinement despite his jail sentence having ended, to deliver a simple message: #FreeJulianAssange!

1/3
It was also a real honour to meet John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father. I expressed my ongoing solidarity and support for his family.

It was heart-warming to see him presented with the annual Gavin MacFadyen award on Julian’s behalf.

2/3
Yesterday, I wrote to the Home Secretary to outline why Julian’s ongoing detention is unjust and to reiterate the point that the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has been making for years, in requesting that Julian Assange be freed.

3/3

THREAD: The disaster happening in the Amazon rainforest is propelling us closer towards climate catastrophe. But this didn't happen out of nowhere. We must begin by looking at the fascist Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, and his crusade against environmental regulations. 1/5
The destruction of the rainforest is largely related to an explosion in cattle ranching. These fires are not part of some random tragedy. This situation is highly political, and tackling it will require radical political action. The ramifications of inaction will be immense. 2/5
And it isn’t just Bolsonaro to blame. The 99,000-tonne annual beef quota in the proposed EU-Mercosur trade deal is one example that exposes the unsustainability of current meat consumption levels and the intl trade regime. The EU, the US govt, and others are just as culpable. 3/5

Labour MPs are only elected because of the hard work of grassroots members, who knock on doors, phone-bank, deliver leaflets and so much more. That's why it's so unfortunate that many in the PLP club disrespect our members by treating the party like their personal fiefdom. 1/4
I've been an anti-racist all my life. As a young bricklayer in the 1970s, I risked my well-being by regularly confronting the casual racism that was prevalent on building sites at that time. I nearly got my head kicked in, on more than a few occasions, as a consequence. 2/4
I was also an active member of the Anti-Nazi League, and I physically confronted racist thugs on the streets in an attempt to stem the rise of the fascist National Front. 3/4

What the hell is going on?
I tabled a parliamentary question recently and discovered the Foreign Office has given £2m of public money to a shady organisation that's indulging in black propaganda against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

These Tories are using public money to subvert democracy.

The irony of the govt's response to my question about them funding this shady organisation is that they claim it's "...to defend democracy against disinformation."

Émile Zola changed public perception in the Dreyfus Affair w J´Accuse..!This ExcellentWriting is the equivalent for Assange.Zola may have helped the release of Dreyfus from DevilsIsland. I hope this 1will help secure Assange doesn’t go there
