Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying 'Everyone is welcome here'

Just a few weeks to go to the Cuba film festival 2025. Just look at this fantastic programme of films at the ICA, Garden Cinema & Birkbeck. These films are humane, poking fun at bureaucracy, examining sexual politics & inspiring. Book your seats now! screencuba.uk?fbclid=IwZXh...

Read our blog from @cyclingkev.bsky.social which explains the importance of joining together to stand up against the politics of the far right, and encourages union members to join the counter demonstration on 1 February. www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/...
Photo of a smiling Kevin Courtney, co-chair of Stand Up to Racism, with the quote "The far-right threaten anyone working for a fairer world, anyone fighting for better pay, anyone resisting injustice."

I was in the delegation at the front, carrying a baby’s shoe and a bunch of flowers. This statement by the coalition matches my experience. The police encouraged us through their line at the top of Whitehall.

We went as a family to the Palestine demo today. We went to demonstrate peacefully against the Israeli government’s genocide of the people of Gaza, the British Government’s complicity and the BBC’s biased coverage of it.

The Met police continue to try to dictate our march route on Saturday, and demand we assemble in Russell Sq. To be clear, we are not doing that. We are assembling in Whitehall at noon. Latest statement from the Palestine coalition 🔽 #WeWillMarch

This is just stupid. There isn’t a partisan better way to put fires out. Or if there is; tell us what it is Donald. Otherwise it looks like a pathetic attempt to avoid having to take any action over climate change.

The Palestine coalition will be marching on January 18. It’s important to resist growing authoritarian restrictions on demonstrations - as well as continuing to show our support for the Palestinians I will march. #WeWillMarch www.stopwar.org.uk/article/pale...

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

What is the white community going to do about the fact that the vast majority of group based child sex abusers are white? Does that strike you as a fair or even a sensible question?

Never forget - racist thug Tommy Robinson is in jail because he ADMITTED repeating false allegations against a school child. He PLEAD GUILTY to ten breaches of a court order. #StandUpToRacism #SayNoToElon

Elon Musk is doing us a great favour at the moment. He is showing us what a radical right government like Reform would be. In the pocket of the ultrarich, promoting extreme conspiracy theories and fringe politicians aiming to increase hatred in our society.
