It was a pleasure to meet you all and give our presentation for Holocaust Memorial Day. I hope it was interesting and useful.

When 150 far-right tried to march through Newcastle yesterday, 3000 Geordies stopped them. I’m proud of our city and its people. My article is a first-hand account of the day. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

Excellent, uncompromising, necessary statement. The government is desperate. It has has failed to justify the unjustifiable and is having to resort to fascistic tactics to silence any opposition.

What the government can’t afford: ❌Lifting children out of poverty ❌Disability benefits ❌Compensation for WASPI women ❌Winter fuel allowance What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military. Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

Germany’s election saw a late surge in support for the Left- but a far more significant rise for the far right. Their path was made so much easier by centrists who have adapted to far right themes. Sue Levi Hughes spoke for the JSG at a protest last night: www.jewishsocialist.org.uk/news/item/th...

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.

Don’t let Trump and Netanyahu hog the headlines. Let’s make sure this Saturday’s march from Whitehall to the US embassy for freedom for Palestine is a loud, united and powerful one. Please march with the Jewish bloc for Palestine. Our meeting point from 11.45am is on the poster. See you there!

We've had a Labour government for 6 months now. Thames Water are still not nationalised. This feels like the most basic, requirement that makes total sense - unless you're in the pockets of millionaires & billionaires. What's the point of Labour?

healthworkers without protective clothing; disabled people forced into signing DNRs. And this govt continues to sacrifice healthcare on the altar of private profit while cutting vital support to people impoverished by austerity. We first have to prove that we can prioritise, value and nurture life.

Thank you, @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social. If the state had a record of protecting the right to life, we could have a proper discussion about this far-reaching question. Instead, during the pandemic, we saw the deliberate destruction of life: careworkers forced to carry Covid-19 into care homes;
