I don’t know about you, but the world’s richest man brandishing a chainsaw and touting his efforts to shrink government spending—all while his companies make millions a day from federal contracts—wasn’t on our 2025 bingo card. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

There is no room for hate and fascism in our communities. We must stand together and build a broad movement against this threat. It was a privilege to address today's #StandUpToRacism counter demo in London.

Disgusted by the Met police. Today they arrested Chris Nineham lead steward dragging him to the ground. I’ve seen him lead hundreds of stewards, ensuring peaceful and safe protests for 15 months. Anyone with sense can see this blatant attempt to manufacture a clash between protestors and police.

This is what the police met with violence and hostility today. Shameful.

Structural misogyny is a societal scourge that the left and progressive-minded people most constantly recommit to fighting. But we must also be wary of those on the right of our politics attempting to use this issue to fan the flames of racism. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/righ...

This is a great article from @jessicabarnard.bsky.social and Ben Liao. Violence against women and girls is all too real, as is the reality that people and politicians would rather use it to play political football and attack multiculturalism. Read more from Jess and Ben here 👇🏻

Biden will be remembered as a spineless man who held international law in contempt. From the economic warfare he waged against millions of Cubans to enabling Israel to commit the crime of genocide against Palestinians. He represents everything that’s wrong with the democrats

I just voted for the Renters Rights Bill to ban no-fault evictions & hold landlords to account — vital steps toward recognising housing as a right. To truly solve the housing crisis, we need rent controls & a new generation of council housing for secure affordable homes for all.

The 'war on drugs' framing around cannabis is wrong. Medical cannabis should be far more accessible than it is, and we should be making cannabis available for recreational use in a similar way, with similar controls (quality, strain strength etc) - a regulated industry...

Joining everyone at the vigil for Palestine in Welwyn Garden City town centre today. We must see an immediate end to the genocide, and any complicity from the UK government.

Looking forward to speaking at the London CND conference this weekend. An important event to reflect on how we hold the British government to account and end our complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

This is madness. The route was confirmed (and agreed) over 2 months ago. The Met Police have now gone back on this decision. As a publicly-funded state broadcaster it's absolutely right that the BBC should be held accountable to the public. palestinecampaign.org/palestine-co...

Mick Lynch has been a staunch ally of working class communities for years. We should all be eternally grateful for his many contributions to our movement and his role in our struggles. Thanks and solidarity Mick!

So far, the growth of for-profit social landlords has done very little to make up low levels of social housebuilding, while allowing stock market firms & asset managers to access public funding for social housing. Public funding for public housing is the best route forward. 🧵

I signed this important petition - and there's still time for you to do so too. Labour should be so much better than the Conservatives on issues of social justice and liberation. Trans siblings deserve respect, deserve support and deserve our action.

FTSE 100 bosses have already made more money in 2025 than the average worker makes in a year -according to the @highpaycentre.bsky.social. This isn't a fair distribution of the wealth that workers are responsible for generating.

The world’s richest man & insecure nepo-baby shouldn’t be allowed to dictate UK politics. Yet some politicians act like sycophants & his unhinged outbursts dominate news, while our democracy is serially undermined. We must break the super-rich’s grip on our media & politics.

The last image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — detained by Israel for refusing to abandon patients — defines 2024. It’s a testament to Palestinian resilience & a damning indictment of those enabling genocide, including the UK government. In 2025, the fight for justice continues.

These are facilities that the public sector, defunded as it has been, will not be able to rebuild in decades. Starved of funding, labelled as inefficient, and transferred into private hands to be profited from. It is an utter outrage and the new government must bring with it a complete sea change.
