YouTube video by UCL Sarah Parker Remond Centre From the Belly of the Beast Ep 01 'The Party'

The two party system is collapsing. Is a new 'Mass Party' the answer for anti-racists?

Mohammed Elnaiem, Gargi Bhattacharyya & Shanice Octavia McBean discuss decolonial politics, the failure of social democracy & the need for an internationalist movement against barbarism & the ruling class.

An eBook cover displayed on a tablet screen features the title Gaza: A Doctorโ€™s Diary by Salman Khalid. The cover image depicts a war-torn landscape with people walking and riding bicycles on a dusty road. In the background, buildings are partially destroyed, and thick black smoke rises into the sky. The title "GAZA" appears in large, bold black letters, with "A DOCTORโ€™S DIARY" in smaller text beneath it. The author's name is displayed at the top in a simple, sans-serif font. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and beige, conveying a somber and urgent tone.
