Peckham Not For Sale A local resident, who is extremely concerned about the social and economic impacts on Peckham, if this monstrous Berkeley Homes plan gets the go-ahead. Member of Aylesham Community Action.

Berkeley Homes are threatening to destroy the heart of Peckham by demolishing the Aylesham Centre and turning it into luxury flats with just 50 social homes out of 867 new properties - please donate towards Aylesham Community Action's legal action against this: www.crowdjustice.com/case/acapeck...

Is Britain far right? Do most people in Britain really sympathise with far-right views? As Reform UK rises in the polls, we asked the experts.

The issue is not whether 'Britain is far right' but why far-right politics have become so normalised

Rather than accepting this is a bottom-up, people-driven push, I argue that we must look at those who have the power to shape the agenda and public discourse

UK anti-slavery commissioner condemns Shabana Mahmood’s asylum comments Home secretary’s remarks about ‘vexatious’ claims will have real-life impact on trafficking victims, says Eleanor Lyons

The govt knows perfectly well that many people arriving from France have been victims of trafficking/ modern slavery en route- Libya being a particularly egregious location for this- & it’s completely dishonest to suggest otherwise, or strip protections from victims to serve its Reform-lite agenda

The deadline for submitting refugee family reunion applications was 3pm today.

If you were planning to apply for refugee family reunion but did not make an application before this deadline it’s possible you may be able to apply under a different route. We will update our blog shortly.

Within this toxic targeting of asylum sites, we hear very little about the lucrative contracts the Home Office dishes out to private contractors- companies like Clearsprings who are make record breaking profits from people's misery.

I’d like someone to count how many joint letters are issued by the sector I work in every year. I seem to see at least one such letter circulating almost every day.

Headline: How violent protests in Epping are being fuelled by disinformation

The comforting myth that racist riots are being fuelled by "disinformation" when really they are fuelled by what is said by mainstream politicians in government and the mainstream media who is unable to hold them to account

As you were...

Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.

We are appalled by empty statements that lack corresponding action. If Western states were truly committed to ending Israel’s war on Gaza or ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians, they would impose sanctions on Israel & members of its cabinet & implement an arms embargo.

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws.

Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide.

This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I know I speak for millions of people up and down this country:

We are all Palestine Action 🇵🇸

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

Palestine Action to be banned after RAF base break in The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, the BBC understands

UK risks becoming ‘island of strangers’ without more immigration curbs, Starmer says PM unveils policies to ‘significantly’ drive down net migration including English tests and degree requirements

A. Sivanandan 🔊“What Enoch Powell says today, the Conservative Party says tomorrow, and the Labour Party legislates on the day after.”

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... @rajeevsyal.bsky.social

Bemused by commentators saying today represents some kind of shift for Labour on immigration. We have a big problem with anti-immigrant racism in the uk, it’s completely mainstream, its roots are historically deep, and all the main parties have been central to propagating it

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Stun guns won’t bring an end to violence in prisons | Letters Letters: Readers respond to an article by former prison officer Alex South, in which she says the weapons might keep staff and inmates safe

“Claiming stun guns will make prisons safer is perverse. A debate about violence and safety must include state violence against prisoners and the shocking death rate in prisons, up to 399 deaths in the year to March 2025, an increase of 37%.”

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.

Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.

The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.
Bring them ALL back
Turn back every deportation flight
Empty every detention center and prison
Burn every border

We are heartbroken by today’s Supreme Court decision to exclude trans women from the legal definition of women. This harmful ruling puts lives at risk.

🏳️‍⚧️Our hearts are with our trans service users and with trans people across the UK — today and every day. Everyone deserves safety and dignity.

It’s a fucking war crime, straight up, no discussion

100 years ago today, Tony Benn was born.

This is from 2009 when he defied the BBC’s ban on a humanitarian appeal for Palestine.

For 77 years, Israel has killed & displaced Palestinians & the BBC continues to dehumanise them. Benn saw this injustice clearly & stood against it 🇵🇸
