December 20, 2025 The Canary. , , ,
Three people have jumped barriers in the house of lords to access the king’s throne and the chairs of state. They planned to announce the release of The People’s Charter – a new democratic mandate for the UK. Touring the house of lords chamber at 9:30am on 19 December, they climbed a barrier to take their place around the king’s throne. They unfurled a banner that read: ‘REPLACE THE LORDS’. Almost immediately they were intercepted by Metropolitan Police officers stationed in the room, and parliamentary security guards. They were removed, detained, and questioned on site before being released without arrest. The three took this action to signal the failure of UK democracy, while highlighting the most popular alternative to the house of lords: a permanent Citizen’s Assembly.

December 19, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Medical professionals in the UK have warned that eight Palestine Action activists held in British prisons are at "imminent risk of death," with concerns raised publicly during a press conference in south London on 18 December. Emergency physician and University College London lecturer Dr. James Smith said the detainees’ condition has sharply deteriorated and told reporters that “the hunger strikers are dying." Smith said accounts from inside the prison system point to “substandard monitoring and treatment." “It is my view, as an NHS doctor, that the complexity of the hunger strikers’ care needs must now be managed with regular specialist input if not continuous monitoring in hospital,” he said.

Elbit Factory Shut Down For A Second Time In Two Weeks

December 19, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
A group of protesters have shut down the entrance to a factory belonging to Elbit Systems. The halt of Israel’s weapons supplier is one of the key demands of the anti-genocide activists. Eight prisoners, all being held on remand for allegedly taking action in solidarity with Palestine, have been on open ended hunger strike since the 2 November in British prisons. This is the biggest coordinated prison hunger strike in UK prisons since the 1981 H-block strike in the North of Ireland. Six of the hunger strikers have been hospitalised so far. Despite the enormity of the strike, the media coverage has been minimal, and the government fails to respond.

Veterans For Peace Condemns Trump’s Illegal War On Venezuela

December 19, 2025 Veterans for Peace, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Veterans For Peace unequivocally rejects the Trump administration’s escalating attacks and threats of war against Venezuela. The U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and President Trump’s unilateral declaration of a naval blockade of Venezuela and closure of its air space constitute a brazen escalation of military aggression and a violation of both the U.S. Constitution and international law.  The U.S. has continually attacked Venezuela since the inception of the Bolivarian Revolution a quarter-century ago. In 2002, a U.S.-backed military coup temporarily ousted then President Hugo Chávez before the Venezuelan people rose up and reinstated him.
