On Saturday, a woman of Punjabi heritage was raped in a racist attack in Walsall.

Last month, a Sikh woman was raped in a racist attack in Oldbury.

These horrifying attacks show how racism and misogyny feed each other — fuelled by the rise of fascism and hate.

Don’t just abolish Prince Andrew’s titles, abolish the monarchy.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

They’re betting everything on “this time even tougher than ever we promise” on immigration to save Starmer.

I’d say brace for a proper BNP-style conference speech.

Quote in photo: “The goal is to change politics forever. When we have a government abetting genocide and waging war on its own citizens, and a far right gearing up to enter Downing Street, we can't deny the urgency. So I am ready to give everything to this fight. That's what I owe to my community and to my class. Now's the moment.”

The new left party must be different: member-led, shaped by the people it serves, honouring and learning from the past, and building the future.

Tragically, he’s right.

We must never forget which politicians and journalists are responsible.

Nick Maynard: "There were several doctors I know who took in formula feed in their luggage, and every single carton of it was confiscated, was taken away by the Israeli border guards, very specifically the formula feed. So none of it was allowed in"

Labour is destroying itself - it doesn't need any help from the new left party.

Why call ethnic cleansing a war crime when you can call it controversial instead #BBCBreakfast

Today we marched through Liverpool to demand a ceasefire and an end to the genocide for the 84th time.

The truth is at last beginning to filter into the media, but how can the suffering and slaughter have continued so long?

The government is attempting to hide the truth about Gaza. It will not succeed.

Sad to hear Starmer cite changing the Labour Party as one of his major achievements. Sure, it's changed, in so far as everyone in it feels alienated and drained of hope but it's not very classy to brag about that.

I know where I stand. I stand with Palestine Action.

Tonight on Channel 4: The powerful Gaza documentary the BBC commissioned but refused to show.

Crying over the thought of losing her job, not watching children being torn limb from limb or burning alive, or the thought of disabled people or elderly freezing to death is just yet another indictment of this society which I feel so deeply in my bones these days. #RachelReeves

A Labour government is driving disabled people into poverty.

This is a scandal, a stain the party will never be able to wash itself of.

Every Labour MP who votes for this disgraceful legislation must be voted out and replaced by someone who stands up for the struggling.

Compare and contrast the space given by the UK media to some words pronounced at a music festival and the daily slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Glastonbury is not the story.

The Genocide is.

Morning Star headline: Sultana warns that the next election will be a fight between “socialism and barbarism' With a photo of Zarah Sultana speaking after a march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, from Russell Square to Whitehall in central London, June 21, 2025

ZARAH SULTANA has warned that Labour aping right-wing slogans will only see what has happened in the US, Brazil and India happen in Britain. The Independent MP told the "confronting the rise of the far-right" panel at Glastonbury festival's Left Field stage on Saturday warned that the next election will be a fight between "socialism and barbarism."

"We have to ensure that we defeat Nigel Farage or any kind of fascist incarnation we have at the time," she said Ms Sultana also praised Jeremy Corbyn as "the best prime minister we never had" as she hit out at Sir Keir Starmer for failing to apologise for his "island of strangers" comments. "That made people unsafe... so shame on the prime minister," she said.

"We have seen immigration policies that have not been framed around dignity. "It's a politics that punches down and not up, a politics that scapegoats the most marginalised people." She added: "The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity. "We have to fight in every possible way — electorally, in our communities, through our trade unions."

The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity.

Imagine if the media covered, and got as worked up about, Donald Trump and MAGA’s actual and open antisemitism as they do about Zohran Mamdani’s non-existent and made-up antisemitism. 🤷🏽‍♂️

He didn’t say that.

He chanted “Death to the IDF”.

If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.

This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Metropolitan Police confirm Kneecap won't be prosecuted The terrorism charge against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara has been dropped by the Metropolitan Police after their huge performance at Glastonbury Festival

The terror charges against KNEECAP were always a politically-motivated attempt to prevent them and other artists calling out the British government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

It is absolutely right that they have been dropped.
