Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom." This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression: crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Nice day for dry stone walling. Hopefully I'll be wet stone walling tomorrow. We need rain!

The Spanish government ordered Airbnb to remove nearly 66,000 listings from its platform, widening a crackdown on tourist rentals as it seeks to alleviate a housing crisis that has become among the worst in Europe.

The way predatory people like Musk operate is they get their foot in the door incrementally. Just comply with my email, what’s so hard about that? Then when people give in because they don’t want a hassle, he owns you. Then he comes back next time demanding something much worse.

Sad news from theclaptonpress.com. It's closing down on March 7th, due to the press's owner's illness. Clapton had a growing list of books in translation from South America and Spain, and a number of books on the Spanish Civil War. Mail order and trade customers stock up now while you still can.

Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

The world’s developing countries mainly owe their debts in dollars. Trump is, however, making it harder for them to earn dollars, and is trying to inflate the dollar’s value. The result will be massive poverty. youtu.be/aYYBmdTOA9E?...

This is a scary time, but also one where people across divisions could in theory link up and offer real solidarity and support to each other. We have a choice - allow different groups of people to be targeted, or show up and stand with everyone under attack.

British bosses are supposedly telling the Telegraph that they want to end protection for minority groups in the workplace. It hasn't taken them long to go full on Trump so that they can enrich themselves at cost to those who need protection and support. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

Community buy-outs, the 'Nature State', and how the English Fens were drained by a 17th century gang of venture capitalists. Here's an interview I did with Stir To Action, a great organisation working on community wealth building and the climate crisis: www.stirtoaction.com/articles/int...

Great to see SALT - Solidarity Across Land Trades affiliated to my old union BFAWU running a session at Oxford Real Farming Conference #ORFC

It's not the start of the Oxford Real Farming Conference until @kindlingtrust.bsky.social buy you a pint

Is organic the preserve of the privileged? We don’t believe it should be! If you are in #ORFC this week, join us and @thesoilassociation.bsky.social as we explore the opportunities to make organic food more available and affordable to everyone and fair to farmers. https://buff.ly/40iYWg6

Oxford hosts two rival conferences on agriculture this week. The Oxford Real Farming Conference was set up in 2010 as an alternative to the Oxford Farming Conference dating back to 1936. The OFC is sponsored by McDonald's and Tesco; the ORFC is sponsored by Riverford and the Soil Association.

We're hosting an event next week at ORFC in Oxford: "Is a fossil fuel free food system possible?" The event is part of the in-person conference but will be livestreamed & you can still pick up online tickets here: orfc.org.uk/session/is-a... Hosted w/ @ipes-food.org & @futureoffood.bsky.social

👨‍🌾 It's not too late to join the Oxford Real Farming Conference online! It will take place on 9-10 January and there's plenty of interesting sessions on #agroecology. 👉 Take a look at the programme: orfc.org.uk/orfc-2025-on... Our Senior Advisor Frison Emile will be on-site too!

So much to choose from at #ORFC

Wes Streeting appears utterly indifferent to the harm he will cause www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11... Wes Streeting is going to introduce NHS hospital league tables and in the process do all he can to reinforce health inequality. Nye Bevan would be ashamed of him.

Oh, by the way, today is Netpol's 15th birthday! If you'd like to support our work, you can at netpol.org/donate

Don’t trust Wes Streeting’s NHS consultation www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/10... Wes Streeting’s plans for the NHS are all about making profit for big business. Nothing he’s talking about will improve healthcare outcomes, because that’s not their purpose.

Thinking of starting or growing a business? Maybe it would work better as a Co-operative www.uk.coop/events-and-t...

We need to defend universalism. Universal benefits like Winter Fuel Payments & demands like Free School Meals for All ensure no-one falls through the cracks. It builds solidarity, reminding us that we all belong to the same society & deserve warmth, food security & dignity.
