MPs laughed when Jake Richards dismissed Jeremy Corbyn’s request for a meeting on the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Laughed. This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

Erich Fromm once wrote a book called Fear Of Freedom. Here David Graeber relates some of Fromm's ideas to the modern world of work.

Ellen Ross on the humanitarian activities of a British Quaker, Francesca Wilson, in the Spanish Civil War and beyond. This piece accompanies Ellen Ross and Tammy M Proctor’s recent article in History Workshop Journal Volume 99.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Everyone understands who is most happy about this, and why they are.

Most asylum seekers arrive with their valuables long lost in bombed or abandoned homes, stolen, or sold to afford the dangerous clandestine passage to safety The real thing of value to be snatched from refugees under these proposals is far more painful: their families & futures Me, for @zeteo.com

Indentured servitude as government policy? Great! Great news!!

This is horrible. Absolutely appalling. Who’s advising this Labour Government? Farage, Lowe, Tommy Robinson and the ghost of Enoch Powell?

When a Labour government sees the approval of Tommy Robinson as more important that the approval of the Labour Party membership, things are probably going wrong

The cruelty is the point. Shameful.

Your regular reminder that there is absolutely nothing "hard" or "tough" about targeting the poorest, most vulnerable, and least able to defend themselves groups of people on the entire planet

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

The billions of pounds to be spent on developing small modular reactors’ on Anglesey would be better spent on insulating Welsh homes and on renewable technologies, according to the group Nuclear Free Local Authorities ✍️Martin Shipton buff.ly/wfhpTcE

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists. Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

Is it time for the teapot of Radical Hope? I feel it's time.

☢️ Wales really does not need a new nuclear power plant, I strongly oppose the Wylfa announcement. Very disappointing to see Plaid Cymru supporting this, whilst simultaneously claiming to be a green. ⚡️ Wales already produces twice the electricity than it uses, Wales does not need this.

Over 11,000 people, mostly women and children, are missing in Gaza. The vast majority of them are likely dead. That puts the total number of Palestinians killed directly in Gaza at over 80,000. www.972mag.com/search-gaza-...

100% this. And not just the Welsh Left. The Left across Britain should be rejoicing in the plural voices of this island and educating themselves out of the Anglo-bubble I routinely observe them occupying. Not just Welsh. ALL our voices. Dont confuse anglo-supremacism for unity. Sort it out mun.

A Welsh writer and researcher has called for meaningful 'solidarity' from the left in Wales, arguing that they can no longer stay monolingual as Wales' native language continues to decline

"Gwyn Alf Williams wrote “Labour’s old majorities stand like Aneurin Bevan’s memorial stones”, looking like the “Stonehenge of Welsh politics.” In Caerphilly, one of those stones has cracked; shifting political weather now threatens more monuments to Welsh Labour’s historic majorities." #Senedd26

A fascinating book, wish I could go to the launch.

In the midst of horrific mass killings and violence, British-made military equipment has been found in Sudan. It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.

David Graeber, a Jewish New Yorker, would be smiling today to see a Socialist win in his city.
