Farage, Goodwin and Tommy Robinson's "two tier policing" is a reactionary fantasy with no basis in fact. White people aren't discriminated against by police, while black & brown people are. Many studies show this & even head of police chiefs admits it's "institutionally racist."

Large sections of British media and politics have spent decades demonising minorities, migrants and Muslims. That dehumanisation contributed to the racist violence seen in the past month.

There is no equivalence between racist violent attacks on Muslims and the massive demonstrations for Palestine. One is a peaceful protest against our government's complicity in Israel's crimes; the other is targeted racist violence against migrants, Muslims and minorities.

The root cause of the racist riots was the virulent racism of a small minority, egged on by parts of politics, the media and social media.

We strive for maximum unity. That means standing full square against those that wish to divide the working class and our country with racism.

A former adviser to Boris Johnson says its all very well for trade unions to secure better pay rises through disputes and industrial action, but what about the millions of people who are not part of a union? James Schneider: "I agree... the answer to that is join a trade union"

Mark Smith, a Foreign Office official, has resigned over the government's refusal to ban arms sales to Israel. He argues Israel is engaging in "clear and unquestionable" war crimes against the Palestinians and there is "no justification" for continued UK arms sales to Israel.

One prediction for the coming months: Thames Water will collapse. Then the question is whether the government bails out shareholders with our money or rightly gives them nothing as the company is taken permanently into public hands.

Who is to blame for energy bills rising again? This government for not intervening when it said it would lower bills but also EVERY government since Thatcher for the great privatisation racket. It's time to end the rip off and put energy back in public hands.

Small pay rises for some workers after years of cuts are NOT the cause of Reeves’ austerity agenda. It’s her refusal to properly tax the assets of the super rich.

The Grenfell inquiry shows residents and first responders were failed by construction firms, central government, and the London Fire Brigade's management. We've consistently highlighted the risks of cladding since 1999, and we will continue to do so today.

Britain should be brave enough to have an independent foreign policy. We shouldn't be the 51st state nor part of the ongoing destruction of Palestine and the murder of Palestinians.
