Timothy Crosland leaving the Old Bailey, central London, after his preliminary hearing, September 26 2025

A TRIAL date has been set for six people charged with allegedly organising mass gatherings against the ban on the group Palestine Action.

The charges related to plans for meetings in London, Cardiff and Manchester which were allegedly organised over Zoom in July, August and this month.

Former government lawyer Timothy Crosland, 55, from Southwark, south London; gardener Dawn Manners, 61, from Hackney, east London; David Nixon, 39, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire; student Patrick Friend, 26, of Grange, Edinburgh; Gwen Harrison, 48, from Kendal, Cumbria; and Melanie Griffith, 62, from Southwark, are accused of breaches of the Terrorism Act.

They are accused of allegedly arranging, managing or addressing meetings, knowing that the purpose was to support a proscribed organisation.

Each defendant spoke to confirm their names in the dock during a preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey today.

Nixon remained standing in the dock throughout the hearing with his eyes closed and holding a white banner with the words “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

The defendants are alleged to be members of a group called Defend Our Juries, or to work closely with it, which opposes the ban on Palestine Action.

Kneecap’s Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, speaks to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, September 26, 2025

Rapper Mo Chara cleared of all charges due to prosecutors’ ‘technical error’

RAPPER Mo Chara of the Irish-language group Kneecap was cleared of all charges today due to a “technical error” by prosecutors as the Belfast group accused the government of using terrorism laws to “discredit” free speech.

The 27-year-old, whose real name is Liam Og O hAnnaidh, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court today where he was cleared of his alleged support of a proscribed terror organisation during a concert at the O2 Kentish Town in November 2024.

…

Following the verdict, O hAnnaidh came out to an ecstatic crowd, saying: “This entire process was never about me.

“It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism — a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress.

“It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up.”

He added: “Your attempts to silence us have failed because we’re right and you’re wrong. We will not be silent.

“We said we would fight you in your court and we would win. Today, we have.

“If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it’s the British state. Free Palestine.”

How do Britons see Labour, ahead of their 2025 party conference?

Public largely see Labour in negative terms, with even Labour voters tending to not trust them in key policy areas

Labour’s annual party conference is kicking off this weekend in Liverpool. There is likely to be a very different tone to last year’s gathering, which was held in the aftermath of their landslide victory at the 2024 general election.

Now, just one in seven Britons (14%) approve of the government’s record to date, while seven in ten (69%) disapprove of Labour’s performance in office. This gives a net approval rating of -55, near identical to the final -56 rating for the previous government last July, just before the Conservatives lost power.

Even among Labour voters, a majority (53%) disapprove of the government, with just 29% feeling positively about the record of the government they elected.

…

Two thirds of Britons (66%) see Labour as out of touch, relative to just 14% seeing them as in touch, while the public believe it’s unclear what the party stands for by a similar ratio (65% vs 16%).

Furthermore, around six in ten Britons describe Labour as weak rather than strong (62% vs 9%), untrustworthy rather than trustworthy (61% vs 14%), and incompetent rather than competent (59% vs 17%). Labour are also twice as likely to be seen as serving their own interests (54%) than trying to do the right thing (25%), or caring about a select few (50%) instead of caring about ordinary people (23%).

FOI request exposes extent of Palantir’s ‘tentacles’ in UK – and it’s not even answered, yet

FOI request exposes extent of Palantir’s ‘tentacles’ in UK – and it’s not even answered, yet

As a company, Palantir has paid out after being sued for racial discrimination, been linked with disgraced UK spy firm Cambridge Analytica, been condemned by Amnesty International for helping to violate the human rights of asylum seekers, contracted with the US government to help develop potentially lethal drones; it provides the Israeli military with surveillance and intelligence services and employs the former CEO of CIA front Radio Free Europe.
The issues are not just with the firm itself. Its CEO and co-founder Alex Karp – an ardent supporter of Israel who has attacked anti-genocide protest as “an infection inside our society” – has boasted about killing people for money and says that he and the firm want to “scare the crap out of [their] adversaries”
