It’s because of those MPs like Jess who chose to “stab” Jeremy Corbyn , and instead engaged with the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg that we don’t have a Labour government.
The suffering that millions of people across this country are going through is down to people like you Jess !
Remember when Conservatives said if you give this money to families it ends up in "crack dens" I'll expect the same thing said about what the private company is spending the £25 quid on?

As Director of Public Prosecutions, I saw firsthand the toll it takes when victims and their families have to wait years to see their case in court.

Today at our CLP, in response to a question
@Keir_Starmer
confidently parroted the lie that Julian
#Assange
had been charged in Sweden. There were NEVER any CHARGES.
Nils Melzer explains the shenanigans here:
Keir should apologise for lying to members.

Now many of us stand with

If there’s even a scintilla of conscience & honesty in the judges, there’s only one outcome

Every morning,
#Assange
wakes up to yet another day in a cold, hard prison. He loses time with his beautiful family & loved ones.
Why => He dared to think that illegal wars & torture are wrong & had the skills & courage to help end these.

#Assange
suffering a stroke in prison & yet being forced to attend court while he was feeling v ill, isn’t a chance occurrence.
He’s been isolated, smeared & brutalised.
I can attest to persistent
irregularities in court. US & UK contempt for

Today as I enjoy a walk in the park in the sunshine with my husband & children, I wish that Julian
#Assange
, Stella, Max & Gabriel have their precious moments together in the sun soon.
It isnt just Julian who's been tortured the harm done to the children & family is unbearable.

Good morning from our socially distanced and absolutely freezing queue outside The Old Bailey
Observers are being excluded at the

- (now despite winning his case) - has been denied the right to family life (Article 8 rights) for 10 years
He was not allowed to attend Gavin McFadyen’s funeral. He’s missing out on family & loved ones.
All because he helped reveal the truth

Imagine if your brother, son or loved one had hard evidence of horrific crimes.
He chose not to profit from it. Instead he made the information available to save lives & stop crime.
Then imagine he was jailed & tortured with no end in sight even when he won his case.

Despite applying in good time, I will not be accommodated in court as legal observer on behalf of

in the

The persistent issues with access & the arbitrariness in due process undermine

There are many victims in the brutalisation of
#Assange
.
Max and Gabriel should be spending their summer with their heroic father. Not navigating prison whims to see him once a week for an hour.
The UK punish Julian, his loved ones & the children through this rigged process
Julian
#Assange
’s children share with
#AlMayadeen
the harsh procedure and the obstacles they go through in
#Belmarsh
prison in order to visit their father.

Enjoying being outdoors in the sunshine today?
Join the campaign to

. Julian has been arbitrarily confined & deprived of natural sunlight for a decade!
Prolonged isolation in a max security prison isn’t just harsh it’s v dangerous.
He should be with his family!

Stella Moris,

“It’s not about how much …torture” is ok.
The tide is turning. It’s vital that more doctors, lawyers, politicians & journalists speak up to end this evil persecution.
