🧵 Think it’s important to say loudly that there was never a media/political cover up of Pakistani grooming gangs. What we actually had was a media/political culture of indifference and disinterest in vulnerable & socially marginalized children being raped & abused by anyone. >

Interested in the evidence for "Corbyn liking Putin". Having worked closely with Jeremy for several years I only ever heard him speak negatively about Putin - and when Blair was palling up to Putin, Corbyn was calling out his human rights abuses: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/632026…

Is there anyone in the Labour Party who doesn’t know where this could end up? Farage will be punching the air tonight. If we turn on our own supporters & fail to challenge the unequal distribution of Britain’s resources the polls will get much worse. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

I spoke at demo & was part of a procession of speakers aiming to go to BBC to lay flowers commemorating the death of Palestinian children. We did not force our way thru, the police allowed us to go thru & when stopped in Trafalgar Square we laid our flowers down & dispersed.1/3

I would be grateful if the Metropolitan Police could publish the body camera footage of my conversation with a white capped police officer at the head of the procession in which I explained this was our intention. 2/3

Regrettably, soon after I had explained to the police officer our intentions & we awaited the arrangements to lay the flowers, bizarrely the police violently arrested one of the march stewards, who was organising the presentation of the flowers & the dispersal of the crowd. 3/3

The average annual charge for a child in a private equity-run care home is £281,000. That's five times the cost of being a boarder at Eton.

The current establishment line is that the police were overpowered by a bunch of 70 year old pacifists. That is what they're going with, that's what they expect you to believe.

🧵I saw an Aboriginal aunty busking in Newtown last night. She plays the saxophone & it was special. I listened for 20mins, dropped $50 into her case & said "You remind me of Marlene Cummings, the great blues & Jazz artist from way back." She looked up, crying: "I am Marlene."

Solo Monk (@jjkale2) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I'm shaking too now. Marlene, in my opinion is one of Australia's great artist. She tells me that things have been hard but she's ecstatic that a bro from Fiji knew who she was. Now the tears are flowing. We get back to the car and I break down. I was overwhelmed with emotion.

We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.

Cummins is a jazz blues singer, saxophonist, songwriter, artist, activist, broadcaster, dancer, and actor. Many activists consider her to be Australia's Angela Davis. A founding member of the Australian Black Panther Party, which was inspired by the American Black Panther Party.

Same old deliberately misleading statistics. Debunked over and over, but Goodwin doesn’t care about facts any more. Some evidence in following posts for those who do.

This is such a huge political, economic & especially environmental mistake that sadly I fear it will inflict an irreparable scale of damage on the government. “Rachel Reeves confirms backing for third runway at Heathrow – UK politics live” theguardian.com/politics/live/…

Post-banking crash, Gordon Brown said: “All the complaints I was getting from people was, ‘Look you’re regulating them too much’... The lesson he drew: “You don’t listen to the industry when they say, ‘This is good for us.’ You’ve got to talk about the whole public interest.”
