Six prisoners for Palestine are nearing their *fourth week* on hunger strike. They are facing two years on remand without trial. They demand bail, a fair trial, an end to counter-terror powers used on protesters and the deproscription of Palestine Action

…now get to bed, ya drongos or you won’t wake up in time to see the first ball at 2:30. I’ve set my alarm for 2:22. Absolutely maaaaaaarvelous.

I should give a massive shout out to the work of @badvertising.bsky.social and @adfreecities.bsky.social and their awesome station “domination” at Southwark. Worth dropping by Southwark station (Jubilee line) to have a look and ponder why ads for fossil fuel products are still allowed?

It's Ashes Eve. Setting my alarm for 02:00 to hear the first ball from Perth, or 'Hot Croydon.' (C) @norcrosscricket.bsky.social Follow the action on @guerillacricket.bsky.social .

And there it is, Mahmood's mask slips. #C4News bsky.app/profile/adam...

Shabana Mahmood is just as much of a ladder-puller as Priti Patel and Suella Braverman. I have little patience for those who don't know - or choose to ignore - the more distant history of migration to this island, but to block it out within 2 or 3 generations beggars belief. #RefugeesWelcome

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win

I couldn't afford the trip up to Vauxhall on this occasion, so very grateful to @finalwordcricket.bsky.social for bringing us the high-ceilinged acoustic of The Jolly Gardiners in digital form. Hosted by the inimitable @norcrosscricket.bsky.social of course. open.spotify.com/episode/3iSL...

Hackney Votes Palestine spoke to Antoinette Fernandez, an @greenparty.org.uk candidate for Lea Bridge Ward in North Hackney for the May 2026 election. We discussed the necessity of voting out a deeply complicit Labour council. Watch to learn more about her & what she plans to do once elected! 🇸🇩🇵🇸🇨🇩💚

Cheers! We don't have to agree on absolutely everything. But want lower bills? Think billionaires should pay more tax? Join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour lost the trust of left wing and centrist voters by chasing yet spectacularly failing to attract right wing voters. It's quite simply the most disastrous strategy they could have pursued. And entirely self-inflicted. None of the extreme chaos the Tories left them had to be tackled this way.

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

"Zohran Mamdani will be the first mayor of New York City in decades not to own a car" Will be exciting to see if he can implement his vision to pedestrianize areas in the congestion pricing zone and dedicate entire streets as combo busways + active transportation

Keir Starmer, Lisa Nandy, Kemi Badenoch, Barney Ronay, Nigel Farage, can you hear me Nigel? Your boys took one hell of a beating.

🧵1. Georgia Pickering was overheard boasting about her defence lobbying firm (CMS Strategic) planting a false story in the press which accused Pal Action of being funded by Iran. She is also a Labour councillor. 🥀 Elbit Systems is a client of CMS Strategic.

A rare Scottish tune from me. John Riddell was a blind fiddler from Ayr, and this jig was first published in 1776. I first heard it in a recording by the Northumbrian musicians Joe Hutton, Willy Taylor, and Will Atkinson in the 1980s.

Can’t quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills 👀. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness 👇

If @zeroduckspod.bsky.social got their shit together, we could have a live #CWC25 wash up and #Ashes preview in a London pub, with Finny signing his new book. Meanwhile, here's wishing @norcrosscricket.bsky.social a safe flight home, back to the November gloom.

Here's a clip from when I spoke to the Northern Rose at Green Party Conference about how I got involved in politics and how the Greens aim to address inequality.

Everyone who thinks that because Halloween is now over it means that we can start celebrating Christmas can fuck right off.

Andrew's multimillion pound 'cottage' that he has been sent to. Even their 'punishment' is far better than 99% of us could ever hope for.

AKA London Pride. A popular hornpipe and Morris dance tune.

In today's Guardian I spoke about the need for the Home Office to be broken up to ensure migrants are dealt with by a department designed to make the system work rather than simply projecting a hardline stance to the public.

A green surge is happening! 📈 A new poll has the @scottishgreens.org on track to be the 2nd biggest party in Scotland. People need hope and we are the ones offering it.

"We're going to move faster in the wrong direction": who do they think is going to buy this garbage?

At least 1.4m homes have been given planning permission in the UK but haven't been built. This because developers sit on it to maximise profits, as homes continue to increase in price way above inflation. There is no red tape building problem, just a greed problem.

Yet another dismissive, party-political answer by the PM at PMQs. The disparity between the UK's wealthiest and poorest is growing every day, with millions struggling with cost of living. When will the PM accept that the problem in our country is inequality, not immigration?

Wenn ich den Grünen einen einzigen Tipp geben würde, wäre es: Schaut euch an, wie Zack Polanski die Green Party UK von der völligen Bedeutungslosigkeit ins Rampenlicht führt, mit einem klaren linken Kurs und der Gewissheit, dass der Kampf gegen die Klimakatastrophe eben auch Klassenkampf ist!

The ICC after staging the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup inside the crater of an active volcano - "how did all this lava get here?" #CWC25

A northern English dance tune from the late 18th century.

Peston cuts Zack Polanski off because Zack points out that yes Israel should be boycotted because they Torture Western citizens, including from the UK.

German author and ex-MP Jürgen Todenhöfer was arrested in Germany for tweeting "Benjamin Netanyahu is doing the same to Palestinians that Nazis did to Jews." Bet there is complete silence from the 'Free Speech' crowd.

Labour's changes to family reunification routes are pure, unmitigated, cruelty. They will trap people in unsafe countries, deny people the ability to be with spouses and children, and increase the use of irregular routes. An abhorrent policy by any reasonable measure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

UK children living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely to die in intensive care, children living in poverty projected to rise to 4.8m by 2029. Govts tinker with poverty. Push real wage/benefit cuts, don't curb profiteering, appease the rich, destroy futures.
