I love LFC. I'm a socialist, anti racist, retired trade unionist. I like reading, films, food, paddle boarding, animals. I used to enjoy a cig and a glass of wine but had to quit both for health reasons (sigh).

Confronting Fascism

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

So not only have ReformYUK p*ssed off their own Chairman into resigning, but they've also got fire fighters in Lancashire threatening industrial action over Reform's proposed attack on the fire fighters' pension scheme! Farage's farago couldn't run a bath. Don't trust them with country!

Or otherwise known as Tory fare evasion. #honestbobjenrick

518 employers named for not paying £7.4m in minimum wage to 60,000 workers. Wage theft list includes BA, Capita, Halfords, Lidl, Pizza Express, Prezzo, TUI. None forgot to pay megabucks to execs but condemned workers to misery. We need regulation and enforcement because of corporate malpractices.

Well done Spurs!

Well done Crystal Palace. A well deserved FA Cup win and absolutely hilarious.

#OTD 3 years ago, Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated by IDF. A bullet penetrated Shireen's body behind her ear, striking the only part not covered, even though she was wearing a vest with the word 'PRESS.' Three years have passed without Shireen & justice is still denied.

The problem is rampant and aggressive landlordsim, and a devolved Stormont that does nothing to build social housing or protect renters. Immigration, new communities and refugees were never the problem.

I've read this book. It's very repetitive.

It's unreal how many times I hear "illegal immigrants" on a day to day basis. It is NOT illegal to seek asylum in the UK. Seeking asylum is a legal right recognised under international law, and the UK is a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention. The end.

On VE Day remember unsung hero Liverpool born Gertrud Luckner who played a key role in the German resistance to the Nazi regime and saved many German Jews by helping them escape from Germany. Gertrud was arrested for her activities and sent to Ravensbruck. www.gdw-berlin.de/en/recess/bi...

On VE Day I'm sharing info about Liverpool born George Rodocanachi. This brave man worked with the French resistance and saved the lives of thousands of allied military personnel and Jewish civilians. Dr Rodocanachi was killed in Buchenwald. Please share. www.christopherlong.co.uk/per/rodocana...

When it first started it was a handful, now 42 have signed a letter, soon he won't even have enough to get the legislation through. Labour MP's need to be Labour MP's no matter what the leadership says. That's the only way they can save their seats.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

As we celebrate 80 years after VE Day: Fascism and far-right is on the rise, stoking hatred. War clouds hang as megalomaniacs want to redraw borders. Hard-won social rights are being lost. Poverty, deprivation and intolerance are on the rise. Don't let their sacrifices be in vain.

Unless you're a millionaire Nigel Farage and his Reform Party which wants to hand our NHS over to US private healthcare companies so only the rich get healed, and poor die and destroy the UK's pension system is NOT on your side

On the anniversary of VE Day I'll be remembering some of the unsung heroes, including the incredibly brave Doctor George Rodocanachi from Liverpool. The link below tells you all about him. www.christopherlong.co.uk/per/rodocana...

"You have a band being held to a higher moral account than politicians who are ignoring international law." Kneecap manager telling it exactly like it is. 👏👏👏 #FreePalestine🇵🇸

Child poverty in the UK. A young child hospitalised with malnutrition leading to the loss of all her teeth. Years of austerity, real wage cuts, profiteering, two child benefit cap, cuts to public services take toll. Govts appease the rich, blight lives of many. archive.ph/IwH73
