'I learnt that there is no one true story of a place, but that for every interview you find often contradictory, incommensurate realities, and that each of them can be true in some way.' Ben Gidley on his time researching locally at CUCR streetsigns.online/EVEN-THE-RAIN-…

Postcard from Tynemouth.

I just tried to give away a spare Magnum from a multipack in Elephant and Castle and it was like doing some kind of breaching experiment. No takers! It’s 28 degrees.

Solidarity with the Muslim communities of Sunderland tonight. The far right is trying to isolate, scapegoat and intimidate them. All decent people need to work to stop that.

Big love to my friends in Sunderland this morning, cleaning up after these acts of hateful and racist destruction.

Important that trades unionists respond to current the wave of far right violence. Coordinating an online meeting of UCU reps, members & activists across the North-East on Tuesday evening. If you would like to attend DM or reply here.

We offer our utmost solidarity to Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the racist violence unfolding across the country.

Academics failed to give the same scrutiny to dismantling the toxic ‘white working class’ narrative as they did the pathologising of the working class as ‘skivers/benefit frauds’. Both ideological, divisive, divert blame. TUs are showing better, expansive understandings of class

Seconding this recommendation.

Our excellent statement, pls share. Here to stay, here to fight !!

As the far right steal attention from femicide, think of Mina Smallan: a mum campaigning for police reform after the unimaginable murders of her two beautiful daughters, Nicole and Bibaa. Met officers were jailed for Whatsapping photos of their bodies. vogue.co.uk/article/mina-s…

Businesses closed, cultural events cancelled, students sent away from classes, workers sent home, people afraid to shop in their towns. Years of social division and politics of hate lead us here. This is what "taking our country back" looks like. They want to roam a wasteland.

Looking forward to this!! thesociologicalreview.org/announcements/…
