For the unaware I'm currently serving 3 years in prison for peaceful protest. Just spoke to my lawyer today, I'm going to be appealing the sentencing! Please share the fundraiser- fingers crossed we get legal aid cover but there may be costs.

A New Year’s Message from a UK Political Prisoner. A record number of peaceful political prisoners have been torn from our families & friends & spent Xmas & New Year’s in prison, for telling the truth & standing against ecocide & genocide. Now all who wish to support us & stand up for justice please join our historical appeal on the 29th & 30th of January at the Court of Appeal in London. Please make this your New Year’s resolution, book your tickets now, invite 5 friends to join you, share this post, join the walk to court & donate to help others afford to travel if you can.

Still shouldn’t be in here, please tell the government that by submitting evidence here:
Friday was intense! Firstly I was offered a pad on the new super-enhanced wing which I took and began packing for, then halfway through packing my pad was ‘spun’. I was refused to witness it, instead locked in another room, then taken for a full body scan.

Positive end though, I’m now happily on the super enhanced wing, although I left a clean fully equipped cell, and arrived to one lacking anything that wasnt nailed down, I asked a guard for a dustpan and brush so I could clean before unpacking, he banged me up and never returned.

As Storm Darragh ravages the UK, keeping us prisoners awake by rattling our doors, cutting power to 55,000 homes, and placing 3 million lives at risk, I'm struck by the fact that this 1 storm is already more disruptive than all UK climate protest over the last 30 years combined.

Super enhanced is a new scheme being piloted at HMP Fosse with additional privileges. Like a lot of other things in this prison, the IEP scheme is a good idea being done in a bad way, leading to the most well behaved prisoners feeling unappreciated & disrespected.

4 Days in a row now we've had a restrictive lockup. I've had no yard time- all due to lack of staff. I listened to Nazanin's inspiring talk last night, and whilst what we're suffering isn't anywhere as extreme as solitary, its still isolating & damaging.

All I want for xmas is sentencing reform! So please write to the independent sentencing review headed by @DavidGauke. Ultimately we need a citizens assembly to review sentencing, but to get this; write to the review, & ask for restorative justice as well.

Every day I see and suffer the consequences of our prison crisis. We were in lockdown all Sunday and again today, losing what short time we have out of our cell; not because of an incident on the wing, but because the prison doesn't have enough staff.

Necessity is the mother of invention; Just made running gloves out of socks I reclaimed from a bin. Looking forward to wearing them on this week's unofficial parkrun.

When is cheese not cheese? When its given to prisoners. The independent monitoring board of prisons has found the 'cheese' given out in prisons is 79% Water, Palm Oil & Starch. Which explains why it doesn't melt; By calling this stuff cheese prisons are breaking the law yet again

Delighted we've won the right to appeal my 3 year sentence for peaceful protest! My case which involved tunneling near an oil terminal will be joined with other heavy prison sentences for soup thrown, the whole truth 5 & gantry climbers. Dm to help w public letter.

My son's prison visit yesterday was almost cancelled as Northampton station was under water! The latest floods & extreme weather we're suffering in the UK is a reminder for us all to get behind the solutions to the climate & nature emergency.
