#HackneySocialistWorkersParty members got a fantastic reception in #Dalston today campaigning on the upcoming Budget. A 2% wealth tax on personal assets of £10mn would net £24bn a year. #TaxtheRich #WelfareNotWarfare @wesstreeting.bsky.social take a hike We support the #Doctor's strike.

@sashasimic.bsky.social in the #hackneygazette reminds us that #BBCPanorama didn't have to doctor #DonaldTrump's speech to make it look like he was inciting the #Washingtoncoup. #Objectivereporting would have done that. #trumpisadomesticterrorist

In Metro U.K.’s biggest circulation paper main comment by Bill Curtis who writes: “Mr Farage and his ilk don’t want a “fair BBC”. They want a dead one. “They want a privatised hollowed-out broadcaster run by hedge funds and headlines.” Compare This young journalist with most of commentariat

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

Time to get back to what really matters:

@alexcallinicos.bsky.social for @socialistworker.bsky.social : @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social must deliver to stop far right rise. His victory proves the far right doesn't own the future, but #Mamdani's success is far from certain: socialistworker.co.uk/alex-callini...

The guy who is supporting genocide of Palestinians, pogroms against people seeking asylum and of the “island of strangers” and “incalculable damage” speech is worried about the rise of racism in politics

He's dangerously gullible.

@sashasimic.bsky.social in The @mstaronline.bsky.social knows why #KeirStarmer hasn't congratulated @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on becoming #MayorofNewYork.

The right have just carried out a successful hit on the BBC, forcing a Tory Director-General to resign. Expect even more positive coverage of Reform.

Today I attended a moving Remembrance Sunday event at Manor Gardens in Islington North. I read “Anthem For Doomed Youth” by Wilfred Owen. In memory of all those who have been killed in war, we must strive for a world of peace that treats all human life with equal worth.

#RemembranceSunday2025 is when we remember those who fell crushing fascist scum like #elonmusk

Remember the heroism of Russian soldiers in 1917 and the German sailors of 1918 who refused to fight the Imperialists war anymore and who turned their guns on 'their' Generals, Kings and Bosses. The main enemy is always at home. #RememberanceDay2025
