“I am a cabbage head… Sorrow makes me lose my mind. But I will stay quiet and hope for a saviour I want to be a cabbage head, [red, white and blue].  Do not want to see or hear. Stay clear of politics. ..even if they strip me naked. The red press will not come to my house!”

On #GMB this morning Jonathan Ashworth says politicians who have fanned the flames of racism should be called out. Well said Jonathan!

Indeed, and what the f*&% (one might add) were USS doing - IN MARCH 2024 - holding £80 million of HE workers' deferred wages in Israeli currency and bonds...😮🤯

It’s been a strange and wonderful experience to find myself writing and thinking about this mural over the past week. It really is a fantastic work of art and dynamic monument to the continuity of anti-fascist struggle. !No Pasaran! #laluttecontinue

This is just so disgusting an example of the egregious miscarriages of justice of the law and order response. Many more will follow. Starmer’s authoritarianism looks set to quicken the crisis of state authority. The left need to be ready, or the fascists will be.

Returning briefly from time off work and socials as this piece has just been published Verso Books Incudes: Neo-Druidism, Nina Power, Crypto-Fascist Celts, Transphobic Radicalisation, and the Revolutionary Bardism of Iolo Morganwg versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/ne…

Not really astonishing at this stage but certainly maddening. On the plus side, it often feels there’s a near infinite pool of ruthless, reactionary upper managers of neo-liberal Ideological State Apparatuses, so maybe we should take heart it isn’t big enough to give Shafik rest?

After 100 days of continuous action, the Cambridge Encampment for Palestine finally closed on Wednesday. This is a thread documenting the incredible things I witnessed there over the last 3 months, in the hope of demystifying the protest for my many colleagues who remain silent.

16 years today my brother Sean was killed by Brixton Police officers following excessive restraint. Never Forgotten. I stand firm in the struggle for speaking truth to power. RIP Sean ✊🏽🌹🙏🏽 There is no Justice. ourheritage.tv/onthisday/id/2…

Huge testament to the strength of feeling on this. The previous campaign reached 1,088 signatures after 4 years - this in 1 month. Will be interesting to see if OU prove as receptive to ending complicity with genocide as it did to fossil fuels Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/we-c…

Another really sorry indictment of the ruthless absurdity of Goldsmith’s managerial culture, that a dispute over an antifascist mural has been allowed to drive Paul Halliday an antifascist lecturer (in Photography & Urban Cultures) from his job. londonnewsonline.co.uk/news/exclusive…
