📺 CLASSIC CLIP: Akala leaves Tommy Robinson lost for words Rapper and activist Akala absolutely nails the question of race and class in the face of racist Tommy Robinson 👇

Well, I’m not sure what I was expecting but Croydon seemed quite a bit nicer than I thought it might be.

Fantastic photos here

A Reform councillor accused of shaming a disabled man and a dyslexic colleague, has been put in charge of Special Educational Needs at his council Sam Journet has faced a barrage of complaints for bullying and intimidation whilst regularly using Meta-style camera glasses to film residents and staff

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

No consequences for anti-muslim racism. The government’s inaction on this is telling us we’re fair game.

Wearing a saree for the first time and am terrified. Just tried in the blouse - it’s going to be ok if I breathe in and don’t move around too much. My belly 😩 And oh my god, the YouTube videos about how to wear it, jeez.

Nigel Farage, "At Michael Barrymore's house they removed all the ashtrays, on the basis that they chuck all the fags in the pool." Can't imagine the outrage if they found a clip of Zack Polanski saying this. Imagine there will be silence because it's Nigel Farage.

Thanks to genocidal @eurovision.tv Israel will indeed sing at Eurovision's final while Palestinians continue to die. This festival should stand for unity, not cover up war crimes. Artists are speaking out. Now it’s our turn. Add your name: Israel out of Eurovision! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-05...

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

"Luke Akehurst - zionist ghoul who ran several Israel lobby groups previously. Whilst on Labour NEC, parachuted himself into a safe Durham seat. Laura Pidcock - one of the good Labour MPs, sadly one of the victims of the 2019 general election, Akehurst worked for Labour to lose" via Arthur Pomodoro

Okay. Who the **** has sent me a Shrewsbury teatowel? This is now my first commemorative teatowel of anywhere and I fear it now makes me a collector. This is worrying development and I want names. Who sent me this?

ffs streeting 🤢 Dodgy as fuck too.

@oxfordshirecc.bsky.social @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social @thamesvalleypolice.bsky.social Good to finally see the Headington Hamburger/ London Road roundabout without all those flags there. First time in months, finally. Up your bum, racist f’ers.

It is with deep sadness that Dr Marianne Moen and I resigned our positions as Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Archaeology this morning. What follows is the letter we sent to the EAA's executive board, outlining the reasons for our resignation 1/n

Very good column by Natalie Fahy @nottinghampost.co.uk on Reform UK councillors refusing to speak to the media: "Journalists need to stand up, keep asking and keep reporting when the questions refuse to be answered. Because I truly wonder what Reform has got to hide."

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.

Israeli strikes follow forced displacement warnings for nine towns in southern and eastern Lebanon.

My latest—A Long Island school district agreed to settle a lawsuit w/ a Muslim former student for $100k. They added 25k to avoid what she really wanted: public acknowledgement that her pro-Palestine art they painted over wasn’t actually antisemitic hate speech. Exclusive report from The Handbasket:

Pleased that Oxford City Council does not have a single Reform or Conservative Councillor.

They ignored every warning siren, doubled down on the course, and now they’re steaming straight at the iceberg with the engines wide open. Their solution? Turn even harder into the ice field. So I made a meme.

On days like today I just gotta meme. It really didn't have to end this way.

The zine for Rebellion! is now available in my shop. It has 55 photos distilled down from 40,000 taken over the life of the project. I’m very pleased with the quality of the printing and hope you like it https://marcdavenant.com/product/rebellion-zine/

Just packed up 30 of these for a buyer in England to be delivered tomorrow, which was a nice surprise.

200 Miles of Morris is raising vital funds for six charities across the Thames Valley: The Rowan Trust, Maidenhead Alzheimer’s Dementia Support, The Brain Tumour Charity, Thames Valley Adventure Playground, The Sherwood Foundation, and The Listening Post. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

The former Mayor of Abingdon is to attempt to break the world long distance Morris Dancing record - 200 miles along the Thames Path, from London to Abingdon and back, this May. Duncan Bhaskaran Brown is raising money for six charities along the way.

After 45 years of neoliberalism the UK isn't self-sufficient in food, energy, drugs, auto, steel, bricks, cement, semiconductors, and more. The state cannot guarantee clean rivers, safe wastewater disposal, affordable energy, timely healthcare, good housing, decent roads. Taking back control?

A refreshing example where the moral position is piercingly clear. So that’s scary to the establishment. But an establishment that is terrified of clarity and thrives on contortion is not worth protecting or preserving.

The attack in Golders Green and rising antisemitism are unacceptable. But collective blame on Muslim communities and pro-Palestine activism is wrong. We reject collective guilt for all communities and call for fairness and responsibility.

It’s concerning that banning peaceful protests is being discussed in the context of the human tragedy of the London stabbings of 2 Jewish men and a Muslim man without producing evidence of a causal link. Such conflation is not helpful. Democracy protects us so we must be vigilant to protect it too.

Keir Starmer and Shabana Mahmood did multiple TV interviews, and an address from Downing street, but only referred to the two Jewish men who were attacked, they knew and ignored that a third, a Muslim man, was also attacked by the criminal

For some in Oxford, spring is signalled not by May Morning, or the swifts returning, but a very different phenomenon - the arrival of mangoes to the Cowley Road. This is the primer you never knew you needed, on Oxford's (not so) hidden seasonal fruit.

@oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social wow, £98.70 per year??!! That’s more than the vast majority of councils around the country. However much we compost, we can’t do away with the bin completely and trips to the tip are a nightmare. We’re lucky to share with a neighbour, but still 😫 #stealthtax

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Interesting to see that there’s no reference here to the likely anti-Muslim feeling driving this. This is the most resented and oppressed ‘minority’ that Modi targets and it’s who nasties like Dr Prakash are picking on.

Oxford’s hotel boom continues with plans to open a 130-bed hotel above Waterstones and Halifax on Queen Street – just a stone’s throw from the forthcoming hotel at County Hall, the existing Premier Inn, and the upcoming apart-hotel in the former Odeon.

Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?

I wish he could meet some of the Somalian students and academic fellows at the University of Oxford.
