On Saturday, a woman of Punjabi heritage was raped in a racist attack in Walsall. Last month, a Sikh woman was raped in a racist attack in Oldbury. These horrifying attacks show how racism and misogyny feed each other — fuelled by the rise of fascism and hate.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

They’re betting everything on “this time even tougher than ever we promise” on immigration to save Starmer. I’d say brace for a proper BNP-style conference speech.

The new left party must be different: member-led, shaped by the people it serves, honouring and learning from the past, and building the future. Me in the New Left Review: newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...
Quote in photo: “The goal is to change politics forever. When we have a government abetting genocide and waging war on its own citizens, and a far right gearing up to enter Downing Street, we can't deny the urgency. So I am ready to give everything to this fight. That's what I owe to my community and to my class. Now's the moment.”

Sad to hear Starmer cite changing the Labour Party as one of his major achievements. Sure, it's changed, in so far as everyone in it feels alienated and drained of hope but it's not very classy to brag about that.

A Labour government is driving disabled people into poverty. This is a scandal, a stain the party will never be able to wash itself of. Every Labour MP who votes for this disgraceful legislation must be voted out and replaced by someone who stands up for the struggling.

The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity.
Morning Star headline: Sultana warns that the next election will be a fight between “socialism and barbarism'

With a photo of Zarah Sultana speaking after a march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, from Russell Square to Whitehall in central London, June 21, 2025ZARAH SULTANA has warned that
Labour aping right-wing slogans will only see what has happened in the US, Brazil and India happen in Britain.
The Independent MP told the "confronting the rise of the far-right" panel at
Glastonbury festival's Left Field stage on Saturday warned that the next election will be a fight between "socialism and barbarism.""We have to ensure that we defeat Nigel Farage or any kind of fascist incarnation we have at the time," she said
Ms Sultana also praised Jeremy Corbyn as
"the best prime minister we never had" as she hit out at Sir Keir Starmer for failing to apologise for his "island of strangers" comments.
"That made people unsafe... so shame on the prime minister," she said."We have seen immigration policies that have not been framed around dignity.
"It's a politics that punches down and not up, a politics that scapegoats the most marginalised people."
She added: "The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity.
"We have to fight in every possible way — electorally, in our communities, through our trade unions."

He didn’t say that. He chanted “Death to the IDF”. If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest. This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Its not that Labour politicians don't understand the benefits they're cutting. They do. When they imply or claim that PIP is an out of work benefit its not a mistake but part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers separate to, & stealing money from, working people
