Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

To any US followers, please know this is aimed at your government. You are cool - they are anything but: I am glad the US B1 bombers have been removed from the Fairford airbase. Oi Trump, please remove US personnel and planes from all our other bases. Thank you for your attention to this matter

In the 1970s over 30% of the population lived in council housing, and I was one of them. In 1978 we could easily run a household on £60 a week, took regular holidays, and had zero personal debt. All because the landlord didn't take most of our income.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Has anyone else in the UK bought tea towels or other items from the Radical Tea Towel Company? If not, I can highly recommend them. Aside from the products being of good quality, you also receive regular emails about key socialist figures down the years and their lives. I have learnt a lot.

The right/centrist establishment's hysteria about the Russians clambering up the white cliffs of Dover is the analogue of the far right's hysteria about migrants in small boats invading Blighty. Both fantasies serve ruling-class agenda of imperialism, militarisation, profit extraction and austerity.

I was only saying today that if the Soviet Union was still intact, the Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime would have to think twice. I don't believe they would have attacked Iran, Trump wouldn't have gone into Venezuela or be threatening Cuba.

🤔 The Labour conference has been a mixed bag. Some good stuff has been announced but the infuriating blind spot regarding the super-rich continues. For the Labour leadership it's like they don't exist and, therefore, the case for taxing them properly is simply absent and beyond debate. #TaxTheRich
