As Sunak arrives in Delhi for the G20, India is gripped by a human rights crisis.

We must highlight the persecution so many are enduring, and build urgent solidarity with Indian labour and social movements.

I'm not advocating that Corbyn runs for London Mayor.

But it's just not serious to expel someone with a big support base, try to end their career, tell the world they're a racist, and then expect them to loyally support you.

Corbyn does not owe the Labour leadership anything.

Don't Know, are you aware that you have a 52 point polling lead to be in charge of all of the money?

Fascinating maneuvers today with Starmer effectively signalling both ways on Rayner.

To the right/media: she's been moved.
To the left/base: she's still the lead for the 'new deal for workers'.

Moments like this create a fog in which only those at the centre can see clearly.

JUST LAUNCHED! We’re calling on Keir Starmer to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service.

The Labour Party created the NHS to work for patients, not profits. Keir Starmer must stand up for what the NHS was meant to be.

Home!

This is good.

Surreal to watch journalists talk about 'record wage growth' today. A lie by omission is still a lie.

Pay in the UK is at 2005 levels and falling. Total pay is forecast to grow 6.9% in the third quarter of 2023, below inflation which is at 7.3% - so yes, still falling.

Thanks for a SPLENDID #BookFringe weekend!

This week includes 2 marvelous events on the history of solidarity & coalition. On Aug 16 Colin Turbett explores Scottish-Chilean solidarity & on Aug 20 Michael Chessum talks about what's happened to the left!

There was this lovely story about KeIr Starmer helping look for a lost dog. Someone asked me how the media would have reported this if it was Jeremy Corbyn. How about “Corbyn implicated in dognapping incident.” Summer media silly season story competition. What do you think?

Hive mind: I'm reading about the (social and political) history of food. Any recommendations?

🔴 What next for the weakened British left?
After a year of strikes and unrest, Britain is at a crossroads.
