The Battle Of Cable Street at 90. Derry Journal reported on October 5 1936: 'The London District Committee of the Communist Party, in a statement said the mass action of working people had exposed the Home Office pro-fascist attitude, which sought to the last moment to enable Mosley to march.'[1/2]

To those who somehow don't seem to understand: Which part of authorising weapons sales to a state committing genocide, banning the protest movement trying to stop these sales, using the RAF to provide surveillance flights for Israel and providing major diplomatic and media support is NOT complicity?

The rot at the centre of the Labour Government is Shabana Mahmood. Labour need to wake up to this fast. She might be less vocal - but it’s business as usual on border violence and empowering the far-right.

What's happening at Drumcree is an attempt to terrorise and divide people. It has no other discernible purpose. It offers no hope, no compassion or care. It can't conceive of a future that is anything other than a morbid, interminable replaying of a bitter, fearful past. Enough.

Why do fascists hate art? Art asks you to step into another's shoes, to consider what the artist was trying to express and to understand who they are. Art is, above all, an act of humanity, a shared moment of vulnerability, a request for empathy, sympathy and compassion. That's why they love AI

This week we’ve seen the far-right who perform unity show their true colours. A Rabble/CAJ report showed that claims of orange and green ‘coming together’ against migrants was engaged with OUTSIDE NI, for external audiences, boosted by people with no links here. The people of the North knew better.

Belfast Telegraph's Sam McBride on how PSNI policed a loyalist paramilitary roadblock in June. [1/4]
These people had closed a main arterial route into Belfast. Four lanes of traffic, the lower Newtownards Road.. the police were facilitating this protest.

There were people standing on the sidelines who were paramilitaries. Large groups of people, I would say 100-150 people... but among those people, in a part of Belfast which is controlled by the UVF, there were senior paramilitary figures.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

The Lost Children of Tuam is a powerful watch. In it, Julia Devaney's cassette is referenced. Looking up what Julia had said of the 'home children' attending school was heartbreaking: ‘'The children had a language all their own, they didn't talk right at all, nobody to teach them, nobody to care.’

Here's Rupert Lowe MP's payments from X Corp over the past year. This man is making serious cash from Musk's platform. Payments surged over the summer, during UK 'unrest', and when Musk was frantically re-sharing Lowe's posts... Bleak, lucrative work if you can get it.
Line chart plotting 21 payments from X Corp to Rupert Lowe MP, as declared in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. The x-axis runs from 3 September 2025 to 16 September 2026; the y-axis shows the value of each fortnightly payment in pounds, from zero to £12,000.

Payments run between roughly £1,100 and £2,200 through late 2025, rise gradually through spring 2026 to around £3,000–£3,800, then jump sharply to £11,724.97 on 10 June 2026 and £10,265.50 in July. From there they fall in five consecutive steps — £4,412.76, £3,126.35, £2,885.36, £2,542.04 — to £2,413.89 on 16 September 2026, a fall of 79% from the June peak.

Two things worth carrying with the graphic whichever version you use.

The July point is marked with an asterisk because the register gives its received date as 7 August 2026 while recording it as registered on 15 July. Plotted it at the likelier 7 July.
