Just to illustrate how much worse it's got, I have received more abuse over the past year and a bit - including death threats and a large volume of antisemitism - for what I write than in the previous 15 years of covering migration and the far right put together.

The book follows a ten-year investigation of the military training area on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire and explores what it means to live next to a military base. It’s a great read, covering so many aspects of militarised communities, landscapes and wider policies.

This is a piece I wrote for PhD students on strategies for doing doctoral work committed to political consciousness, anti-racism and social transformation. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Dodgy statistics and fringe beliefs: the groups behind Reform’s anti-migrant agenda

The government says UK arms exports globally "are now worth over £14.5 billion annually and growing – making Britain the world’s second-largest arms exporter after the United States". We always knew Labour would be worse than the Tories on arms exports. www.gov.uk/government/n...

In December 2023, Israeli president Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs due to be dropped on Gaza. Next week he’ll be in the UK at the invitation of the British government.

So hard, watching this, to rein in that knee-jerk (male?) desire that violence be met with greater violence. Not proud of how much I want these bullying old cunts to get their heads kicked in. #antifascism

12 years ago today the Sisi regime in Egypt killed around 1,000 people in the Rabaa massacre. Human Rights Watch calls it "a crime against humanity" Since then the UK has sold £423m in arms to Sisi's regime. Starmer refers to “their countries’ strategic relationship”.

👉NEW -- The BBC isn’t telling the truth about Israel’s nuclear arms by @markcurtis30.bsky.social The UK broadcaster is writing hundreds of articles on Iran’s budding nuclear programme while failing to inform the public about Israel’s actual nuclear weapons. www.declassifieduk.org/the-bbc-isnt...

👉NEW -- Palestine Action ban threatens all our civil liberties by Richard Norton-Taylor Pouring paint on a plane is hardly 9/11. Non-violent protesters are not terrorists. www.declassifieduk.org/palestine-ac...

Amidst recent attacks against Iran, Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians, and new commitments by Western states to spend even more money on militarism and mayhem, @wilpf.bsky.social calls for diplomacy, disarmament and demilitarisation.

What do Washington and London want in Iran? The last time the US/UK overthrow a government in Tehran, they propped up a dictatorship for 25 years and gave support to the regime’s brutal security police. www.declassifieduk.org/when-britain...

If you're going to reheat a Blair-era policy you probably need to explain why, last time around, it was so badly run it ended up wrongly deporting thousands of people, some very likely to their deaths, and how you might avoid that this time. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Britain must reject Trump’s nuclear deal. It makes us a target. It has nothing to do with British security interests and everything to do with US nuclear expansion. Starmer must stop the warmongering and focus on rebuilding public services, ending poverty and meeting Britain’s climate action goals.

At the NPT PrepCom, the nuclear-armed states continued to defend their weapons and doctrines, trying to manufacture consent for the risks they create through their policies and practices. It is up to the rest of us to organise around them for disarmament. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
