Free public transport really does strike a blow against social exclusion. it's happening in Barnsley right now

The Greater Manchester transport branch of Unison, the union which is made up of workers in bus depots and offices has passed a motion supporting the principle of free public transport. And they are setting about organising a Fare Free Greater Manchester campaign.

Good news from Transport for London. They have committed to “develop detailed plans” for a publicly-owned bus company, to reverse the trend to privatisation that has made services worse and more expensive. Unite the union has welcomed this – and we do too. www.unitetheunion.or...

Thanks to all who participated in our event, Try Me For Treason, yesterday at Birkbeck. Powerful readings of courtroom speeches by anti-war protesters in Russia. Great discussion with London-based Russians, and Brits, about how to support political prisoners. www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...

Great to see that this banner was out again in London today. From Ukraine to Palestine, occupation is a crime. @ukrainesol.bsky.social @ensu-resu.bsky.social

Let's put some vision, and optimism about the sort of places we want to live in, into political processes. This is a great way to start.

We exist in a machine that is destroying the basis of life on the one planet we have to live on. This is commonly understood. Yet very little is done about it. Why? Me for @theecologist.org theecologist.org/2026/jan/23/...

Alexander Nesterenko, an associate philosophy professor at the Moscow State Technical University, has been sentenced to three years in prison for Ukrainian songs saved on his social media. Here is his closing statement in court: en.zona.media/article/2026...

I wrote this pamphlet 35 years ago and I think it stood the test of time. Now a free-to-download PDF.

Free public transport has been in the news a lot this Autumn, with extensions or possible expansions confirmed in three areas: the Balearic islands, Iowa City, and Brazil. Read more here: admin.farefreelondon...

In October this year, one of our organising group had the chance to experience free public transport in Belgrade, Serbia. This article explains what it was like.

New round-up: free fares in the UK (mainly in Scotland)

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Nigerian artists, both before & after independence from the British empire in 1960, fused artistic traditions of the Fulani-Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba & other Nigerian peoples with European art forms that the colonial power brought. The results are dazzling" peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/b...

Something very dark is happening here.

“Try me for treason. I betrayed your deranged state”, the anti-war protester Andrei Trofimov said in court. He is now behind bars for 13 years. Russia's political prisoners need our support peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/t...

We need Mamdani-style thinking in London, not these fare rises that hit low-income households hardest, says @farefreelondon.bsky.social

It's worth listening to what Ukrainian socialists are saying. This is a very good summary. www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/5...

I couldn’t read a piece about the British Library strike published yesterday in the Daily Telegraph, because of paywall and, well, Daily Telegraph. But someone told me about Telegraph reader comments which included disparaging chastisement that library workers are ‘privileged’: Telegraph readers!😄😂

As a regular reader, I am out on the picket line again today, supporting staff at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social who are JUST asking for decent pay

The excerpts from these speeches in court, read out in English, are powerful stuff.

It's British Library management's fault that their wonderful staff feel compelled to strike, AGAIN, in order to be treated with the minimum of respect. As a long-time regular reader, I support this action 100%. www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/.... @pcsunion.bsky.social

Gracias Vientosur.info, for translating my article

This sober analysis of where Ukraine is now is well worth reading. It was written by a Ukrainian socialist, before the Trump "deal" started to unravel due to infighting in the White House, but paints the broader picture well. jacobin.com/2025/11/ukra...

As a @britishlibrary.bsky.social reader, I urge the management to stop fooling around, treat staff with respect and settle a decent pay award, righting three years + of wrongs. @ceebarnacles.bsky.social @pcsunion.bsky.social

A Russian court sentenced Anton Khozhaev, a trainee officer accused of desertion to Ukraine’s side, to 23 years. He urged Ukrainians to fight on, & denied treason. "I aimed to stop a criminal government, to prevent deaths of peaceful civilians." peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2025/11/12/r...

Support British Library workers. They just want a pay rise big enough to cover inflation. And to be treated with respect by their management.
