The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend. The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day. Some of us can condemn both.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

Today is the International Day of Older Persons, and very recently I had the honour of photographing Dame Sian Phillips for my work with @agecymru.bsky.social An absolute highlight for me; she is just the best company, even getting in lemon drizzle cake for me!

There’s a fun Hindi phrase that goes “ulta chor kotwal ko daante” (“the thief turns around and starts scolding the policeman”)

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Where I live in London, churches and synagogues sit side by side with mosques and same-sex couples walk arm in arm in the streets. Doesn't look much like sharia law to me.

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen. It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

Fred Brown recreated Banksy’s removed mural on Scarborough beach. Amazing.

Basically, Farage is promoting fascism. I don’t see how anyone can deny it.

Why is *no one* resisting Trump? What can he do to you today which is worse than what he’ll inevitably do to you tomorrow no matter how much you concede to him?

As a young woman Ruth Asawa (1926-2013) learned to draw while in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans with her family during WW2. She later became a renowned sculptor.

The brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at Stop Trump tears into this government. ‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

After the flat landscape of Cambridgeshire I’d forgotten how hilly Brighton can be. I half expected to find Laurel and Hardy at the top of these steps with a piano!

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

The private family life of twice divorced Nigel Farage, who had children with both of his ex wives.... and now lives with his girlfriend.... is none of my business... just as the private family lives of everyone else are none of his.

The silence is deafening. A lot of people are feeling anxious and scared tonight. For their loved ones. For themselves. For their community. For their country. For our country. Those who lead us must use their voices, unequivocally, now.

Seen quite a few ‘legitimate concern’/hotel-shouters with flags and Crusader costumes stomping through London today. Difficult to spot the counter-protestors as they will be part of the huge multicultural majority… not wearing their raging inadequacy like a badge of pride. Stay safe.
