Had a lovely time seeing Kae Tempest at Brixton Academy with my dearest friends.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Just having a little drink in the Coach and Horses Soho and performatively reading a book about Turkish-Iranian relations and the Kurdish Question from WW1 to 1998.

When I worked for the charity that promotes Wikipedia, the Mail rang up our tiny charity office to shout at our staff about the fact that Wikipedia editors had decided to list the DM as an unreliable source, something we had no control over. Wikipedia ppl generally detest the Mail.

"If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" Billie Eilish speaking directly to Mark Zuckerberg, as she donates $11.5m to food poverty and climate justice organisations.

all their blustering and posturing to torment 3% of the country's kids.. fuck these people

Very South Park-coded animal testing going on here.

BREAKING: Over 460 people were reportedly killed at a hospital in western Darfur that was taken by Sudanese paramilitary forces, the WHO chief says.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

‘Covered in beans and piss, simply for calling for the mass ethnic cleansing of non white people. Truly I am the real victim here.’

Helped @jwsal.bsky.social and @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social make this video earlier this week, give it a watch!

From Mike Graham getting suspended for posting racist comments on Facebook to the Express's Christian Calgie expressing support for deporting Zarah Sultana, there's an increased willingness for big right wing journalists to say online the kind of thing they probably hear a lot in private.

This week I made a video for @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s new publication @thenerve.news with @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social youtu.be/oq83KBFppFM

I've published an investigation I've been working on for a while about a dodgy landlord who provides dangerous accommodation to London councils to house homeless people. There is a real risk of another Grenfell fire killing homeless Londoners. www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/10/stre...

Just the two old pub signs left now of The Cricketers, which used to stand behind the Oval cricket ground. Now making way for a huge Berkeley Homes development that will all be bought by rich investors as buy to lets and do nothing to stop the housing crisis.

We need less algorithm and more Al Gore rhythm amirite lads

brianna wasn't murdered by social media you piece of shit. politicians love exploiting grieving parents.

Sentient roast potato Mike Graham claims he was hacked after a racist post appeared on his Facebook page. Seems like someone might have had one too many before getting the train home.

When Labour ruled out using the public sector to build council houses it was inevitably going to miss the 1.5m target. It has always been an ideological fantasy that the private sector would build the social housing we desperately need. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Notice how quickly we've moved from deporting "illegals" to the idea of deporting any migrant whose face doesn't fit, irrespective of legal status. Next stop: some form of ostracisation for any person whose face doesn't fit, whether they were born here or not? We're deep in National Front territory

Nothing says professionalism like telling Councillors who disagree with your crap plans “…I am afraid you are just going to have to f***ing suck it up” as Reform Kent County Council Cllr Linden Kemkaran did in a meeting Unfortunately for her film of the meeting was leaked and she’s furious 😂🤣

Fantastic. This would be a great thing for the country. Betting shops are nothing but a scam and are terrible for growth because they produce no goods or services. Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s wild how Marilyn Manson still has a career and is still touring tbqh

I propose an immersive 1940s themed dining experience where we bring back the 'British restaurant', where you can exchange your ration card for a choice of meat and two veg, a pie or stew. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British...

Doomed to a lifetime of beans on toast.

There's no more performative or meaningless jingoism than trying to claim you prefer pies to every other type of food in the world.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

Just realised that the last book of The Book of Dust is coming out on October 23, in 5 days, and it's really brightened my mood. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boo...

Last night I went to a talk by housing campaigners @kwajo.bsky.social and Peter Apps at Brixton Library about the housing crisis in the UK, and wrote about it for @brixtonbuzz.bsky.social www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/10/hous...

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

Where am I?

Labour is betraying working class Londoners by cutting affordable housing in London. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Did some more news about the ongoing housing crisis in Lambeth, where the reduction in the Right to Buy discount led to over 1,100 applications from residents to buy their council house before the deadline. www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/10/lamb...

The attempt to rehabilitate Israel which will be pushed by much of the media now should never be accepted. It will forever continue to be a genocidal state and its leaders should be brought to justice for their war crimes.

As long as the UK allows Israeli weapons companies to operate in the UK, and gives logistical support to the genocidal Israeli regime, demonstrations should continue.

The real tragedy is that peace just isn’t as profitable.

24 people killed by army paraglider while demonstrating against Myanmar's military government. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The biggest environmental pollution claim ever brought in the UK has been filed at the High Court, BBC News reports. Leigh Day partner Oliver Holland and solicitors Celine O'Donovan and Benji Gourgey represent thousands of claimants taking action. https://leighdaylaw.info/3VRwm2r

I don’t suppose anyone wants a 2011 copy of this legal text on British nationality law? It’s from my dad’s book collection and I think a legal chamber or legal advice NGO could use it better than me.

I genuinely hate the companies who encourage this kind of landlordism.

XR founder Roger Hallam has a new community organising project which is aiming to create people’s assemblies across London. Read my report here: www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/10/exti...

I spent Saturday afternoon in Trafalgar Square filming pensioners getting arrested for writing words on paper for @politicsjoe.bsky.social and you can see the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn6f...

I mean, what do you even say?

Political refuse.

Last night I happened to go to the pub in Hammersmith which temporarily renamed itself the Trump Arms. It's run by an Irish family and the owner was on the phone talking to someone who was angry that they are holding a Charlie Kirk memorial service on Friday, saying it was just a business decision.

There was no Wikipedia page for the co-leader of the Iranian Kurdish PKK offshoot PJAK, Peyman Viyan, so I have made one. She is an important political figure in Kurdish politics, and PJAK is a group that is likely to play an important role in the future of Iran. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyman_...
