#OtD 23 Oct 1956 a spontaneous nationwide revolt broke out across Hungary which saw thousands organise themselves into workers' councils and militias demanding not a transition to capitalism but rather a socialism controlled by the working class itself stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9607...

Everyone says #Brexit is terrible. But no one plans to get rid of it except the Green Party.

🤑 Ever wonder how the rich keep getting richer, and why the rest of us can’t keep up? The difference is: we work.

The media seems to forget to mention that when Tel Aviv Maccabi fans went to Amsterdam, there were reports they chanted “we will f**k the arabs” and ““There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” They also pulled down Palestinian flags. They were met with attacks from locals.

Apartheid South Africa was banned from the Olympics for 32 years. The same people who called Nelson Mandela a “terrorist” now say we can’t boycott apartheid Israel. They were on the wrong side of history then — and they’re on the wrong side of history now.

The F-35 is the genocide jet. 15% is made in Britain.

This might be the most concentrated centrist campaign in history. "Farage is racist" out of one side of his mouth while saying "Farage is right" out of the other. A worm ideology for worm people.

People are arriving from Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria and elsewhere, seeking our protection, only to be locked in small cells and denied the support they urgently need. The new home secretary must change course and stop putting people in even more danger: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

When the first prime minister of Israel, declared in 1937 that ‘the Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen’, it would not be inaccurate to suggest the UN was one of those who a decade later provided precisely that moment. newint.org/violence/202...

💙 Huge thanks to everyone who backed our #ShowUsTheMoneyKeir campaign! We asked how Labour’s 10-Year Health Plan would be funded. It’s still unclear — but PPPs (the new PFIs) look firmly on the table. 💬 Next step: we’re gearing up to hold politicians accountable on PPPs. Watch this space.

Can we pause and explain how we went from “Everyone loves Labour and their excellent genius leader, this is precisely what the country needs” to “This catastrophically unpopular project needs to eject its clueless doofus PM” in about 14 months, somehow without anyone having been wrong at any point?

In British politics, being the best friend of the world's most renowned sex trafficker is not considered a scandal, but wanting hungry kids to be fed is a sackable offence

🚨 BREAKING: Over 14 million people faced hunger in the UK last year. That’s 2.5 million MORE people, compared to 3 years ago.

Housing benefit is frozen while rents keep rising. Families are being left hundreds of pounds short every month - forced to choose between rent, heating or food. This pushes people deeper into poverty and towards homelessness and poor health. This isn’t right.

This is how dictatorships behave

The government wants to scrap the work capability assessment (WCA), which will hit 600,000 Disabled people. Why does this government have money for weapons and tax cuts for billionaires but not Disabled people on the breadline? www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Inflation up. Food prices up. Rent prices up. Energy prices up. It’s getting harder and harder to put food on your table, keep a roof over your head, and keep the lights on. The rich are lining their pockets at our expense while we get poorer. It’s class war, plain and simple.

Remember that dude with the Plasticine Action tshirt, with the pic of Morph on it, who got arrested for wearing it in London? He has set up a site selling the tshirts with all proceeds going to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). You know what to do! ⬇️ plasticineaction.com

Activists just began a 'summer of sabotage' against genocide and fossil fuel-supporting investors Shut The System has begun attacking the WIFI and electrics of companies like JP Morgan - and they're not messing around www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Hmm. Turns out the evil and the lesser evil people have evil solidarity. Drat

Western liberals can't stop depicting trump and putin as a gay couple doing gay stuff. There's so many caricatures of them, out there, either fucking or giving each other a blowjob. Homophobia as the height of liberal criticism of trump and putin. That's it, bruh. That's all the shitlibs have.

#OtD 8 Aug 1845 UK Parliament passed an enclosure act taking away public land and appointing officials who could enclose more land without approval from MPs – one of 5,000 such acts passed. This dispossession created the working class stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1076...

"How are you going to shit your pants today, Keith?" "Thought I'd set the UK police on an Irish author for donating to charity. What do you think?" "Classic "Keith", Keith. Classic."

This is a clear case of parliament being played for fools by corporate interests. Palestine Action was bundled together in a single order for proscription with two neo-Nazi groups, one of which is called the 'Maniacs Murder Cult'. MPs had to vote to proscribe all three groups or none of them.

Palestine Action was proscribed as a terror group because they targeted Teledyne, who pressured Starmer through their paid stooge in the House of Lords. This isn't conspiracy theory. You can read about it on Wikipedia, to which Starmer is trying to restrict access with his 'online safety' bill.

These actions show no sign of stopping. Cooper and this Labour government will be forced to reckon with reality: people oppose genocide and they support action to stop the flow of weapons for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The FT longlist of business books is an interesting one, because it gives a little snapshot into the preoccupations of corporate bigwigs, or at least their tastemakers. More nominally progressive content than perhaps you'd think > archive.ph/veOKs
