We deplore racist attacks at home for the same reason we deplore genocide abroad: we believe in the equal value of human life.

My response to calls for the cancellation of peaceful protests for Palestine.

We will keep marching.
We will keep organising.
We will keep speaking up.

Until there is a permanent ceasefire.
Until the siege is lifted.
Until the occupation ends.
Until apartheid is dismantled.
Until the perpetrators of genocide are held to account.
Until Palestine is free πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

Can't help but feel the universe is therefore thinking "I let my big bang down, I let my stars down, I let my planets down, and ultimately I let myself down." Hopefully it's understanding itself through all the non-human life instead and blissfully ignorant of us... the shadow part.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧡 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Let’s honour the memory of Hossam Shabat.

Take his courage, his clarity, his determination - and keep speaking up and keep fighting until Palestine is free. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

I also suggest an alternative route, a politics of belonging, in which political power and control of local resources are returned to communities.

The level of repression in the U.K. is now at alarming levels.

A genocide has been taking place for 18 months, assisted by our government. We should all be taking resistance to the next level. Solidarity with Youth Demand and all who are.

I took ten minutes of my day to tell this establishment a little bit about the reputational damage hosting an event could do in a small country like Ireland. I'm not trans or gay or a member of any minority. I'm just a plain-vanilla middle-aged white-guy who believes there's no place for hate.

Petition: Ban all forms of hunting and introduce harsher penalties We think we need a total ban on all forms of hunting. We also think we need harsher penalties for those who are found guilty of illegal hunting.

Hunting still happens, and penalties aren’t enough. Demand a total ban and harsher consequences for illegal hunts.

Sign the petition now! 🦊✍️

The β€œscapegoating of disabled people is not only toxic, it could be really fatal.

"If the government can treat people with the highest needs in our community this way, what else could they possibly do? It’s a very worrying question.” - Sophie Morgan, TV presenter

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.

In the middle of watching the Trump Vance Zelensky conference and I had to take a minute. The lack of empathy, disrespect and xenophobia is enraging. The only thing that is helping keep my blood pressure low is remembering that trump will be dead in a few years

The UK's asylum system isn't just brokenβ€”it's failing everyone. While the gov's new Bill claims solutions, it misses the heart of the crisis.

It's time for something better.

Jeremy Corbyn: Remembering Auschwitz, Fighting Today As we mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we must remember the heroic resistance of many inmates to inspire our struggle against renewed fascismΒ today.

Fascism doesn’t arrive in uniform overnight. It arrives with suited politicians, one piece of legislation β€” or executive order β€” at a time.

My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Hello Bluesky… may you never be owned by billionaires with deeply troubling values, politics, ethics, behaviours, power and influence. Even Bramble is relieved and resting deeply into the space.
