John Rees An incredible event which I remember well. Having visited a few years before. The poverty in Portugal was terrible but there was also an incredibly wealthy elite. In Lisbon the Asian crew members of the ship were not allowed ashore.

Join us weekly from May for our spring online lecture series, with talks on aspects of the 1600s by Mark Turnbull Author, John Morrill, Dr Stuart B Jennings and Stuart Orme. Ticket holders can watch live online or by a recording at their leisure! Details at: cromwellmuseum.org/events/cromwel…

One of the earliest political posters I ever acquired…and now celebrating the revolution 50 years on in Lisbon…

Looking forward to hearing ⁦John Rees⁩ speaking in Wigan 11th May 12-2pm talking Levellers and todays world will be a fascinating insight. eventbrite.co.uk/e/wigan-digger…

Very interesting poll with just a few days to polling day. Clearly, it’s going to be tight. It’s very obvious that Mayor Jamie Driscoll’s campaign is in full swing - with canvassers all over. I’ve been asked 4 times whether I’m voting for him over the weekend. Every vote will count.

This is the place for representatives of the radical left to be. Well done LFI.

Palestine is a trade union issue!

Just as politics cannot be separated from life, life cannot be separated from politics. People who consider themselves to be non-political are no different; they've already been assimilated by the dominant political culture - they just don't feel it any more.

Hey The Mirror were you at the demo? Did you witness this clash? Did you see how the police alllowed counter protesters to intimidate our stewards?

The clue is in the 'one person', which is the Met's arrest rate on our massive and peaceful march yesterday.

We would welcome…

Just The Mail getting fact checked by the Met Police…

The fact that this rag is still treated as a ‘newspaper’ is a national embarrassment.

If you see these vans in your area, make like Glasgow, surround them and stop them.

Don't let them break up families, deport our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues.

Don't let the Tories pretend that this is anything other than an election stunt.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Yesterday we held our 12th National March for Palestine and 200 000 of you flooded the streets of London and Hyde Park, continuing our struggle to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza and end UK complicity!
Here are some clips of our amazing speakers 🧵

87-year-old Holocaust survivor, Stephen Capos, says: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free, no matter how long it takes'.

Kapos, who attended the march for Gaza in London, was 7-years-old when he and his family survived the Nazi Holocaust on Jews in Hungary in 1944

Protesters in Tunis expelled the Italian ambassador and the Italian Minister of Culture from the Tunis Book Fair in protest against Italy's pro-Israel position. Here they’re chanting: “Italy fascist, Italy Zionist”

A pleasure to spend yesterday in Birmingham to mark Workers’ Memorial Day

Great to have support from the cathedral for this important event, organised by the Trades Council & Hazards Camapaign

I got to meet legend Amazon agitator Darren Westwood who gave a speech on Rana Plaza

Overwhelmed by the spectacular show of solidarity today in Hyde Park. What a demonstration of people power!

All over Europe, all over the world, the movement has never been more powerful, nor more international. We will keep fighting. Palestine will be free. PSC Stop the War
