Crackdowns, flag-fucking, means-testing, bungs for donors, stomping upon the sick and poor. The best that Britain can ever have, and better than anything we’ll ever get again after these objectively appalling people romp to five hundred seats.

Oh my god, did Mahmood tell *Trevor Phillips* that Labour doesn’t let its mates off the hook if they behave badly, unchallenged? That might be the most hilariously bent British politics thing that has ever been broadcast.

Labour shadow minister Shabana Mahmood on the importance of abiding by international law.

The ICJ found its plausible that Israel's acts in Gaza could amount to genocide. So why hasn't Labour called for an immediate suspension of global arms sales to Israel?

One day similar questions will be asked of Conservative & Labour politicians who have been complicit in Israel’s apartheid & genocidal actions.
And then, like now & similarly in the past those that can answer we protested, got arrested, boycotted will be us who say Never Again

Would expect to see a lot more of these actions as climate change and climate profiteering worsen. There is a very old tradition of the “moral economy”, against the market, that this taps into directly.

The richest Prime Minister in history – worth an estimated £529,000,000 – is demonising sick and disabled people.

He wants us to blame our problems on anyone but the real culprits:

The Tory government, their super-rich donors, and a system that puts greed before human need.

This is a gross erasure of how the UK built its wealth. The C of E, Guardian and Lloyds are prominent examples that openly show how our church, media and financial systems are rooted in colonialism and slavery

This is not a matter of conjecture, but fact

When wealthy elite bang on about wokeness and how we should not look negatively at history, it is because they are very much still benefitting from what happened then

Make no mistake, their qualms are not about history, it's about wealth and power

Watch this space for actions you can take ahead of the parliamentary debate on the petition for a family visa scheme, now scheduled for 13 May!

We urgently need a Gaza Family Scheme that would reunite & protect Palestinian families until return is safe.

Protest, repression... the spread of protest through mimesis. This is the common spark for explosive movement growth. And with a media/political elite in lock step across several countries but completely out of step with popular opinion, the other conditions are also in place.

I often think the most radical suggestion in the 2019 Labour manifesto was a commitment to teaching the truth about the British Empire in our schools

Calling all cat lovers!

More than 15 cats were left abandoned in a property on my street. Their previous owner is not coming back, and they're in need of homes. The neighbours (who are super nice!) has temporarily taken them in, but obviously that can't last forever. One of the

It took litigation by ⁦Freedom from Torture🧡⁩ ⁦PCS Union⁩ ⁦Channel Rescue⁩ ⁦Care4Calais⁩ to stop the deadly pushbacks policy. Plus opposition by MoD.

Now a whistleblower says civil servants “didn’t care if these people would die”. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
