When I made this speech, Italian anarchist #AlfredoCospito was on his 105th day of hunger strike against the vicious #41bis prison regime he's been placed under. Today is the 109th day. The Minister for Justice must act now. Any delay is a death sentence. Will the EU say nothing?

It is not the EU's job to regulate political expression. The Regulation on Political Advertising is a major intervention into the political culture of member states, with far reaching implications for civil society, for grassroots networks, for anyone intervening in public debate

Really looking forward to tonight's launch in the European Parliament. @El_Collective were instrumental in bringing about law change in Ireland to provide for mandatory inquests in all cases of maternal death - now they're taking the campaign for better maternity care to Europe🇪🇺

Countdown continues...really looking forward to the launch of @El_Collective exhibition in EP later..an important event of solidarity with women who lost their lives in childbirth, particularly overrepresented are women of colour. We need action on this issue across #Europe

Very glad to attend the launch today of the highly engaging radical art exhibition, "Under the same sky, around the same sea," by the FireArt art collective in Thessaloniki and the Nazim Hikmet Cultural Center in Istanbul, hosted by @gt_kke at the European Parliament.

I oppose the death penalty categorically & I abhor its use in Iran. Imperialist meddling is a fact but it is not an excuse. The West is poised to exploit crisis for geopolitical gain. If repression continues and the legitimate demands are not heeded, I'm fearful for Iran's future

An internal European Parliament legal analysis of the proposal cautioned against engaging on such a path without considering its effect on the possibility of reaching a peace deal. We have consistently opposed attempts in the Parliament to obstruct peace. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/IDAN/2022/702574/EXPO_IDA(2022)702574_EN.pdf

All those responsible for the crime of aggression, including Putin, should face justice. But the proposal in the EP's motion on a tribunal for the crime of aggression yesterday would not achieve that. It would make peace harder to achieve.

Last week Ireland lost a true revolutionary, and one of her best poets, @KevinHIpoet1967. His last poem was called "I Always Thought I'd Live." He will always live in his words.

I was very glad to chat to @rustyrockets today about the Ukraine war, how the arms industry and predatory finance are exploiting it, and how war propaganda is used to discourage voices for peace. https://rumble.com/v24r4y8-prince-harry-saga-the-truth-about-the-deep-state-055-stay-free-with-russell.html

To any democrat, the proposal to use *sanctions* to combat 'disinformation' - a blatantly politicised concept in EU foreign policy - must be regarded as an end run around due process and fundamental rights protections and a threat to the rule of law.

There're some 48,000 lobbyists seeking to influence EU institutions. 12,000 registered orgs with combined annual lobby budget of €1.8 billion. EU defence policy was written by lobbyists. Interference is interference. Corruption is corruption. About time we tackled all of it.

There is a sustained campaign to undermine the right of member states, enshrined in the Treaties, to veto Council decisions. On foreign & defence issues we should never - ever - give those who dream of an imperial Europe what they want & abolish the veto. We are not the US of E.

In modern war the only winner is global capital. Ordinary people always lose. Remember that next time there's talk about peace being "treason."

It isn't a year since #EU🇪🇺 governments stopped doing #COVID lockdowns & repressing protests with riot police, tear gas & water cannon. It shows how unhinged EU #sinophobia is now that MEPs spent an hour ranting about how #China🇨🇳 (now opening up) is still doing the same thing.

We must recognise our media - strangled by money, more interested in access to power than holding it to account - is anything but free, a water carrier for political and corporate power, dedicated to enforcing the demands of global capital. Those like #Assange are the exception.

Visited Algirdas Paleckis in Kaunas prison today..like Assange a journalist, imprisoned for espionage on the testimony of a convicted paedophile & secret evidence even the judges could not see..so much for #EU rule of law!! He is strong, has much support & will prevail. Respect

This year #TRAN MEPs demanded action on social conditions for air crew dealing with bogus self-employment, pay-to-fly, undeclared work, and so on. What did we get? Nothing. The #Commission must get its act together, or like with rail, #aviation workers will have to take action.

Despite #EU support for the two-state solution, #Israeli #settlement and #apartheid have continued. Two states is less viable with every year. What have we done? EU-Israel cooperation has deepened! This is a process of #annexation, not #peace. Listen to the people of #Palestine🇵🇸
