Starmer rightly calls-out the hatred directed at Jewish people, rare to hear the same rhetoric in support for Palestinians. Today,Yaxley-Lennon's Far Right protest is going ahead, estimated at 150,000. British Palestinians feel ‘gaslit’ and unable to speak out: www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

SHAKEY

Let’s not forget that later in 1984 Queen played NINE dates in Sun City to a whites only crowd

Today is Nakba Day, commemorating the Palestinians that were violently displaced by the creation of Israel in 1948. We present a reading list on the struggle in Palestine, including Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation by Ghassan Kanafani, soon available in English for the first time

@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social last week passed a momentous vote of 'no confidence' in the Board of Governors @northumbriauni.bsky.social and called for the Chair of the Board to resign over their mishandling of plans to rip off pay and pensions. Here's why: www.ucu-unn.org.uk/news/333-gov...

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, and we don’t have enough attention to pay to any of it. But the throttling of Cuba by the US should be a bigger story than it is. There are about 10 million people in Cuba, subjected to horrendous collective punishment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

No, it is not time to uncancel Enoch Powell The racism my dad, grandparents and entire black side of my family experienced in Birmingham in the 60s and 70s was in no small part driven by his nasty, rancid brand of division and racism Enoch Powell was a racist and a demagogue, period

I love this and I hope everyone who has the opportunity boos billionaire-owned, consumer facing "A.i." in public at every opportunity. We don't have to pretend it's cool if we don't think it's acceptable!

Thanks once again to Trash Cat for the kind words and the chance to get this one out there. 🙌

Bloke on BBC radio this morning went one better: “I ordered a tape measure”

Nolan should have done it in the style of Benny Hill using Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python cutouts. After seeing the trailer, I’m convinced my idea would be MUCH better

Amazing, now we have two bald men and a other man with hair singing I’m Still Standing

Love it that the #giro presentation is soundtracked by the best of AC/DC

Belated happy birthday to the big man himself

In the YOU CAN SAY ANY OLD SHIT stage of liberal capitalism you can call the only Jewish party leader antisemitic for retweeting a post about how the police were kicking an already restrained man in the head, via the medium of an antisemitic cartoon. Nothing matters anymore. Just power.

They're not attacking Zack Polanski because they genuinely think he's antisemitic. Or even because they care about the safety of Jews. They're just slinging whatever mud they possibly can at him, in the hope that enough of it sticks to avoid their wealthy friends having to pay their fare share.

Tremendous, this

May Day Isn’t a Celebration. It’s a Reminder. Weekends weren’t given to you. Sick pay wasn’t given to you. Safety laws weren’t given to you. They were fought for, and they can be taken away. #JoinAUnion Protect what workers built. International Workers' Day

Proper football final

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

Happy Mark Hughes Horizontal Leaping Volley Goooooooooool Against Spain Day to all those who celebrate

This one is for Dana Bash (and for the great Jamie Raskin in a different way), because in the middle of a berserker rampage by the right, those of us on the liberal-to-left spectrum are supposed to stop it through seraphic politeness, according to the lost souls in the middle of the road.

Just to reiterate, this government could vote through anything it fucking wanted. Anything shit that’s happening that no-one’s tried to fix; that’s on them. Poverty, homelessness, persecution of vulnerable minorities, corruption, pollution, price gouging, asset stripping. All of it.

Happy Upside Down Mussolini Day everyone!
