I’d love it if you’d sign this. It might not prevent me and my colleagues losing our jobs, but it will draw attention to the ideological vandalism being perpetrated by the wealthy execs running our university.

How about we tax billionaires? Refugees aren’t even allowed to work.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Having overseen a massive rollback of human rights, it does feel petty for Starmer to talk about Labour having been "morally bankrupt". especially after calling human rights' supporters "extremists" and a Home Sec who told refugee rights advocates to "fuck off". www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

This is going to get someone seriously harmed. What the hell does anyone think is going to happen to a trans woman in a men's prison? The case by case risk assessments weren't perfect, but better than this and at least didn't potentially violate human rights. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At a time when some seek to divide our communities, let's instead celebrate the simple of acts of courage that bring us together. Remember, we have more in common with someone seeking safety than with the billionaires pointing the finger. Refugees welcome.

They've arrested more than 700 Palestine supporters Meanwhile, only 16 Belfast pogrom rioters have been arrested. Masked gangs set up checkpoints where they demanded to see IDs. Multiple reports claim that police advised healthcare workers to comply with the gangs The UK gov's priorities are clear

Went for a walk, found a grotto, had a picnic, read my book. Time to rest and refresh.

On a day like today it's important to remember that civil disobedience is meant to be illegal. That's the "disobedience" part. Greenpeace, for example, has done many, many illegal things over the years. This is a place where the rules of a democratic society are tested against morality.

it costs us over £600 a month to have our 3yr old in nursery full time and that’s after the free working parent hours and tax free childcare but yeah it’s probably the phones

Gender affirming care is essential for the well being of so many. The obstacles and blocks put upon it, especially by this government, cost lives, destroy lives. It is utterly abhorrent that a handful of gender critical ideologues can have this much sway over people's lives and cause so much harm.

I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.

Now this is two tier policing. Still no arrests for the far-right extremists who incited pogroms. But this happens.

"The riots are not “concerned citizens” protesting ... They are instead an attempt at bringing pogroms back to the United Kingdom" @danielsohege.bsky.social 1st article with @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/the-violence...

I know most of it is on paper, but that is a truly obscene amount of money which no individual should have

I wonder if this will apply to everyone who recently led a pogrom against immigrants in Belfast where houses and vehicles were set on fire in the most recent Farage Riots. That would be sensible, right?

The Filton 4 destroyed weapons that were designed and intended for the purpose of killing Palestinian civilians. The state responded by labelling them terrorists and giving them harsher sentences than rapists, murderers and pedophiles. We must not allow this to go unchallenged.

The horrific sentences handed to the Filton 4 (8, 6 and 5 years) are gut-wrenching injustices; the reaction of a fascist regime determined to stamp out all dissent and exert control over a population that increasingly refuses to let genocide take place in our name Free them ALL

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work and passion they had put into their music and I think that comes through in the photos.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

This isn't an original point but, still: this isn't a glimpse of a Reform future - it's the Labour present. It's the outworking of years of mainstream parties across the spectrum pandering to the far right by stoking racial hatred. And the fact that Starmer condemns the riots doesn't change this.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Starmer should have no hesitation in labelling Musk a threat to democracy and national security rather than merely accusing him of “division”.

Reform UK in govt would destroy UK's green economy "On whose behalf do they make this choice? Not their own voters, who strongly support renewables.... But its funders. 2/3 of the money it has received comes from very rich people with interests in oil and gas" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#BBCBreakfast: "... families had to be led to safety through the flames.. it wasn't just homes, cars were also torched by young masked men in these predominantly unionist streets, but the target here was immigrants.." This is what the likes of Reform are inciting.

I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

Apparently, further fascist pogroms around the country are being billed as "Justice for Henry Nowak", whose murderer is currently serving a life-sentence with a minimum 21-year tariff. Just so we're clear that they don't mean "Justice for Henry Nowak" they mean racist, hate-filled rage.

More than 100 MPs have now signed the motion I tabled alongside colleagues to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240 if they haven’t already.

In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

It was ever thus I suppose, but the fact that HTB has the co-owner of GB News in their church every Sunday, and yet has failed to teach him that honesty, compassion, and care for widows, orphans and refugees are core Biblical values, doesn't speak well to their ability to teach the way of Christ.

Rightly angry piece from @iandunt.bsky.social about the Populist Right BS that followed the awful Henry Nowak murder case and how the media/national conversation has been drawn into it. iandunt.substack.com/p/an-abysmal...

Very helpfully, for those unsure how to contact your MP, @transactualuk.bsky.social have created a template email, with a postcode finder if you don't know your MP, to make it easier to ask them to support this EDM. 4/ equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Just spent countless billions destroying civilians, girls’ schools, and irreplaceable cultural sites, then?

If I’m understanding the Home Office’s trial age assessment tech, it gets people’s ages wrong by an *average* of 2.5-3 years, is inaccurate for the most crucial cohort (teenagers) and is worse in assessing women/girls and non-white people (umm…) but they’re going for it anyway, because computer

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

Well, this is bad. You can't tell someone's age accurately by just looking at them. We already see issues with facial recognition and discrimination. Age assessments are complex. This is pretty much guaranteed to see more young people incorrectly classed as adults. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As Israel intensifies its attacks on Southern Lebanon and forcibly displaces citizens we urge the Government to halt all arms sales to and end military cooperation with Israel. End the impunity.

Heathrow and Kew have both now reached 35°C. To give you an idea of how extreme a weather event this is, 35°C has only ever been reached on 4 days in June (26-29th). Once in 1957, and 3 of those were in one year, 1976.

@chrishunter2820.bsky.social I’m sure you can relate to this!

Absolute respect for Carla Denyer here. Being open about burnout helps break down the stigma surrounding it. It is debilitating and damaging, I know well from a lot of personal experience.

Even the Independent says Labour’s Toilet Ban is worse than anything the MAGA/Trump are implementing in the US. So why is @andyburnham.bsky.social supporting it…?

Not even 8am and I have already seen a post saying that trade unions shouldn’t be doing anything on the climate crisis because that is not a worker issue - as though workers do not also breathe toxic air, suffer in excessive heat, or watch their wages vanish in a puff of smoke when food prices rise

Give this a share if you get chance please. So many cisgender women who do not want this for the trans+ community or the division it causes for us all notinourname.org.uk

Compare and contrast. Net migration falls by nearly a half www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Voters believe net migration rising www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... This is what happens when political rhetoric keeps making out migration is an issue to be solved.

Home Office stats on suicides is sketchy, but we know from all the evidence, over years, that hostile systems increase the trauma of often already traumatised individuals. We also know France has already sent people returned under this scheme to unsafe countries. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“To name the house anew was to re-situate it within a spiritual jurisdiction unrecognizable to colonial cartographies”

We support the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Israeli Navy has forcibly stopped the flotilla near Cyprus, detained 12 UK nationals, and reportedly fired upon remaining vessels. The UK government has a duty to protect its citizens and must condemn these actions and demand that aid is allowed into Gaza.
