Today we mark Palestinian Independence Day. Now more than ever, we call for an end to occupation, justice, and a real path to lasting peace. #PalestinianIndependenceDay

Mark it down: Dec 20th @ 20.00 — #PoemsAbout #OpenMic + #ChristmasParty returns! Poets, readers, friends — one final night to lift your words before the year ends. 🎤✨ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1967176915...

A poet should never have to sell their soul just to enter a competition. That’s why #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward will be free to enter—but only if we hit £5,000. No haunted arts council funding here, just pure community support. Will you help? 🔗

THIS. MAKES. ME. VERY. HAPPY. @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social #sugar #copperblue #reunion #greatestband

And yet we hear growing numbers of voices calling to scale back on Net Zero and other pointed measures to halt this man-made emergency #climatechange #netzero #thegreens @greenparty.org.uk @greenpeace.eu

The planet has reached its first catastrophic climate tipping point. 160 scientists from 23 countries warn that unless global heating is cut to 1.2°C as fast as possible, warm-water coral reefs will vanish “at any meaningful scale.” The science is clear: We need to act now.

Looking forward to Prof Andy Tate & @jennashworth.bsky.social discussing writing, literature & radical hospitality as part of @lancasteruni.bsky.social #lecture #culture #discussion #debate #elcwlancaster - some tix still available!

Poets: if you’ve launched a book in the last 12 weeks and haven’t uploaded it to #PIL — you’re missing readers. #PromoteIndieLit 🔗 promoteindielit.com

🚨The UK's Nuclear Weapons are leaking radioactive materials into a Scottish Loch! It's time to get these dangerous weapons of mass destruction out of Scotland.

August is the only month to enter our chapbook competition. But the big goal? Funding #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward for 2026. Some funds from chapbook entries help, but we need donations to secure major cash prizes for poets. 🔗 shorturl.at/G2mMo

Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael

Thrilled to announce the wonderful @saltpublishing.com are to publish my new novel, TIME BEING, in September 2026. I can't think of a better home for my book! #indiepresses www.thebookseller.com/rights/salt-...

If you weren't on the dole under Thatcher, it's difficult to explain just how offensive it was to tell three million unemployed people to 'get on their bikes'

Thank you @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social for always supporting CND. On the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it’s more important than ever that we say: ‘NO MORE HIROSHIMAS’. Help us to spread this message: cndukstore.com/no-more-hiroshimas-collection

Unions, bankers, millionaires, 75% percent of the public and many more support taxing wealth fairly. The Green Party has long supported fixing our unfair tax system. With the inequality gap growing ever wider, now is the time for Labour to listen to the people and tax wealth fairly.

We are concerned that the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s new draft guidance makes it harder for organisations to be trans inclusive and could even increase suspicion and policing of people’s gender expression.

If Epstein really didn't have clients, Prince Andrew must have paid a woman he never met £12m for nothing. Unlucky.

The Children's Commissioner insists the two-child benefit limit must be scrapped because children are living in “almost Dickensian levels of poverty”. Child poverty is a political choice and Labour should choose to scrap the cruel limit and lift 500,000 children out of poverty right now.

We support the children’s commissioner’s call for cross-departmental action. Her report includes a number of interesting recommendations and we have long called for the government to introduce auto-enrolment for free meals to ensure no child misses out. bit.ly/44hbjLI

Israel's genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Donald Trump today in Washington. He is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. He shouldn't be globetrotting. He should be arrested and put on trial.

How a snippet of #lesmis read by @nedboulting.bsky.social on @itvx.com coverage of @letourfr.bsky.social has given rise to my next read. I’m challenging myself to read Hugo’s classic novel by le fin de le Tour! #merci #victorhugo #summerread #itvcycling

So we're signing off now... We've reached the end of the @prideinlondon.bsky.social parade and have to recharge before Monday... Thanks for joining us today in London or online! #PrideInLondon #NAHTPride

#Pride is a celebration, and a place of belonging. But a reminder that it's also a *protest*, demanding improved rights - and better safety - for LGBT+ people in the UK and around the world. www.tuc.org.uk/research-ana... #NAHTPride

Today is a little different, as our #LGBT+Network has managed to wrestle* the BlueSky password from our social media team. We'll be posting throughout the day as we head to #PrideInLondon and march with our #NAHTPride banner. Please say hello if you see us in person, and like and repost here!

Steve Coogan is somewhat stronger here than he was on #r4today yesterday. “The root cause is poverty and economic decline in the post-industrial landscape, especially in the north. If Labour addressed that problem, Reform would go away – all their support would dissipate.”

According to @glenndonaldson.bsky.social the world doesn’t need another band. But do you know what? It certainly needs The Reds, Pinks & Purples. Beautiful indie-pop that materialised into my algorithm & for that I am truly grateful! Lyrics to do die for & perfect song-writing. Grazie mille 🙏

📺 A chairde Gael, The propaganda wing of the regime has just contacted us. They WILL put our set from Glasto today on iPlayer this evening for your viewing pleasure. The crowd expected today is far greater than West Holts capacity so "you'll need to be very early to catch us father...VERY EARLY"

We have deep concerns about government plans to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. Nonviolent protest, and even acts of vandalism, should not be labelled as terrorism. Civil disobedience has been a powerful force for positive social change. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

On Windrush Day we celebrate the generation that helped rebuild post-war Britain and re-affirm our commitment to ending the hostile environment that has caused so much suffering for those caught up in it, including the Windrush generation.

"Mo Chara’s real problem is that the message he put out landed. Working-class people aren’t meant to speak like this, organise like this, or connect struggles across borders like this. That’s what scares them." Which side are you on? www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2070...

We are hearing strongly from our members that redundancies and staff reductions are the only way to balance the books. We desperately need to see new money and sustained investment from the Treasury at the Spending Review. bit.ly/4jwpvVq

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Well done Liberty 👏 This is an important victory for democratic accountability and protest rights. It's time for the government to repeal this unlawful legislation and review the anti-protest laws in their entirety. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

If, as Sheena Patel claims in today’s Guardian, that ‘men are doing just fine’, how come @thebookseller.com's top 10 fiction picks for April featured no male authors? Now if it was the other way round…

Tackling the modern challenge of toxic masculinity and online radicalisation is nothing new to our members and takes real leadership, Paul says. #NAHTConf
