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.”
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF.

Over 100 people are expected to challenge the ban on Palestine Action and the party’s complicity in genocide outside Labour’s conference
Mass arrests of peaceful protesters will be acutely embarrassing for the government on first day of conference
Labour officials rejected all 30 motions on Palestine
70% of Labour members oppose the ban and TUC has voted to reverse it
Over 100 ordinary citizens are expected to risk arrest under terrorism laws outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool at 2:30pm this Sunday by peacefully holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Palestine Action joke that appeared in the UK satirical magazine ‘Private Eye’.
The ban on Palestine Action is hugely unpopular with Labour members with 71% saying they oppose the ban. Trades Unions also oppose the ban. At their annual conference earlier this month the Trades Union Congress voted unanimously to reverse the ban.
When Jack Straw brought in the Terrorism Act 2000 he assured the House of Commons that it would never be used against a protest group.
Many Labour Lords and MPs feel they have been misled and have called on ministers to rethink the “unsustainable and unworkable” “authoritarian attack of the right to protest”. The New York Times has published the intelligence services assessment on Palestine Action which undermines the government’s claims that the group poses a danger to the public. Lawyers have accused former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper of conducting “a cynical media campaign.”
Despite the evident hunger to discuss the genocide in Gaza, the Labour government’s complicity and their ban on a domestic nonviolent protest group, party officials have ruled out all 30 motions on Palestine submitted by local branches.
A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said:
“Labour members and trades unions are against their party’s complicity in genocide and the ban on Palestine Action. Yet party officials have shut down all the debates that members wanted to have on these issues during their conference.
“Defend Our Juries will bring the “Lift The Ban” campaign to the door of the party that continues to deny genocide and has banned the direct action group that was trying to prevent it.
“The action will pose a dilemma for the Merseyside Police: prioritise human rights and community relations like Police Scotland and other forces around the UK, or trample over fundamental rights to protest and free expression like the Met Police by arresting over 100 peaceful sign-holders under this ridiculous ban.
Labour has reneged on Jack Straw’s promise that the Terrorism Act he introduced would never be used against a domestic protest group. Unless the law is redrawn and the ban overturned, any group that this government or a future government does not like could be treated as terrorists. This ban cannot and will not stand.
“The government has misled the public and MPs about why Palestine Action was proscribed. Instead of shutting down protest, it’s time the Labour Party took the responsibility to prevent genocide seriously and impose blanket sanctions on Israel including stopping the flow of arms from factories in this country.”
Labour government’s genocide denial
Last week the UN Commission of Inquiry found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Yet the Labour government continues to say that “any formal determination as to whether genocide has occurred should be made following a judgment by a competent national or international court.”
The UN report rejects this position noting that “Since at least January 2024, when the International Court of Justice ordered its first provisional measures, all states… have been on notice of a serious risk that genocide was being or would be committed.”
The UK government has therefore been negligent of its obligations under the Geneva Convention to prevent and punish genocide.
Keir Starmer says he will “jealously and fiercely” protect free speech
Despite recent mass arrests of over 1,600 people for peacefully holding cardboard signs, and scenes of an 83 year old Anglican priest being led into a police van, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in his recent press conference with US president Donald Trump, said: “free speech, it’s one of the founding values of the United Kingdom and we protect it jealously and fiercely and always will.”
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children.

Labour Party officials are attempting to stifle debate on Palestine at the party conference and prevent calls for the Government to take meaningful steps to end complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The Conference Arrangements Committee (CAC) met yesterday and decided to rule out more than 30 motions submitted by constituency Labour Partys (CLPs) and affiliated organisations ahead of the party conference in Liverpool which begins on Sunday 28th September. Every motion on Palestine was ruled out of order by the CAC.
Contemporary motions at conference have to meet the criteria that the issue must not have been substantially addressed in the National Policy Framework (NPF) Annual Report 2025 which was published on 8th August. The overwhelming majority of Palestine motions were ruled out of order on the grounds that the motions do “not relate to a new issue not substantially covered in the NPF report”. This is despite the fact many focused on events that took place after the NPF Report was published. These include the announcement of the Israeli government’s plans to militarily occupy Gaza City on 8 August and the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza City on 10 August.
The motions also make demands on the Labour Party that are not included in the NPF Report, such as an end to all arms trade and military cooperation with Israel, comprehensive sanctions, and a ban on trade that aides or assists Israel’s violations of international law.
The number of motions sent to conference demanding the party takes more action on Palestine has dramatically increased since last year, when just three motions were sent to conference. This ten-fold increase shows the growing level of anger at the grassroots at the leadership’s position. Recent polling has found that 72% of Labour’s 2024 voters want a full arms embargo on Israel.

Britain’s involvement in the Gaza genocide condemned by Amnesty International
BRITAIN’S involvement in the Gaza genocide was condemned in a new report by Amnesty International UK, which today highlighted 15 companies profiting from and fuelling Israel’s mass atrocities.
The government is enabling mass atrocities through defence contracts, public-sector deals, supply chains and failures to comply with its legal obligations, said the NGO.
Amnesty released its 20-page report on the first anniversary of a UN general assembly resolution demanding that Israel end its unlawful occupation of the Palestinian territory within 12 months of its adoption.
The NGO’s secretary-general Agnes Callamard said: “Human dignity is not a commodity. While Palestinian mothers in Gaza are left to watch their children waste away from starvation under Israel’s genocide, arms companies and others continue to reap substantial profits.
“Israel’s prolonged unlawful occupation and decades of apartheid have required in-depth and sustained support to Israel through economic relations and trade.
“Amnesty calls on its members and supporters the world over to demand an immediate end to the political economy underpinning Israel’s international crimes.”

Labour faces fresh condemnation amid Israel’s ground offensive into Gaza City
… KEIR STARMER’S government faced fresh condemnation yesterday for its failure to oppose Israel’s brutal war on the Palestinians as the country’s military began a ground offensive into Gaza City and a United Nations commission of inquiry concluded that Israel is committing genocide.
“Gaza is burning,” boasted Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz. “We will not relent and we will not go back — until the completion of the mission.”

The report by a team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations Human Rights Council calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible for it.

Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana said Sir Keir and his Labour ministers “must be held criminally accountable.”
She wrote on X: “For nearly two years, we’ve witnessed the deliberate slaughter of civilians, starvation of an entire population and the systematic destruction of hospitals and essential infrastructure.
“Yet just two weeks ago, the UK government claimed it had not concluded Israel was acting with genocidal intent.
“It continues to arm Israel’s genocide, provide RAF reconnaissance support and roll out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals.
“The government’s position was already morally indefensible. It is now politically untenable.”
