Peter Cook on “those wonderful Berlin cabarets which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the outbreak of the Second World War,” notwithstanding, fascists hate artists because empathy highlights their hatefulness & renders them ridiculous.

The fascists are organising a carol concert in London to "draw attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage". What would Woody do? Write an anti-fascist Xmas carol and sing it at the counter demo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=liRd...

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

Every day that our government fails to recognise the state of Palestine is another day wasted on more empty words instead of actions. What is Keir Starmer waiting for? Recognise Palestine.

When people say they want some migrants to integrate more what do they want? More Muslims in the Cotswolds? Ali to wear tweed? Does Terry wanna buy Amjad a pint in Spoons? Mustafa to open a chippy not a kebab house? Can someone please give precise guidance?
