The divisions on this issue within the Greens on here could not surprise me more. Much like sending kids to private schools, i feel like we on the left all know the harms of landlordism, and can see why this is not a good look?

My heart sank as soon as the Green candidate for Manchester Mayor was announced. Geraldine Coggins is probably a lovely and clever woman. But she represents the exact image problem the Greens have had for years. Too white, too middle class and completely lacking in charisma. What were they thinking?

During the political media onslaught to come there'll be times when we can't think straight for the noise. When this happens, get out of the political bubble into the community and talk to real people. Nothing heals like a good conversation with an actual person.

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

So wait… Is Tel Aviv now a no-go area for Jews? Are Maccabi Tel Aviv antisemitic for attacking Jews and Jewish police? Are Tel Aviv police antisemitic for blocking Jews from a game of football? Would I be antisemitic for criticising Israelis (and therefore all Jews globally) for rioting?

1/ I guess I’m ‘The Good Immigrant’: Been here most of my life now, never claimed benefits, paid taxes, worked for the NHS, taught students, done research for public good, volunteered, spoke English fluently. So why do I feel so alienated and hurt by the government’s anti- immigrant rhetoric?

We often talk about the impact of figures like Andrew Tate on boys, but what about his impact on girls? What toll does it take on the psyche of a teenage girl to see him elevated by the media, protected by governments and worshipped by peers? What lessons are girls learning about their worth?

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.

It is politics by ego. This is what you get when you place the hopes of the left in the hands of celebrities and their bag-carriers, without nourishing the capacity to self-organise. The farce of recent days is the logical end point of that political method. For @novaramedia.com.

100,000 plus on the facist march in London today. Police estimating 5000 on the Stand up to Racism counter demonstration. Recent events have clearly helped swell numbers for the far right but this is very worrying. In my life time I have never known facists out number antifacists like this.

Watching footage of the massive March for Humanity in Sydney today and wondering if the UK palastinian protest scene needs a slight change of focus. Weekly protests are impressive. But are they exhausting activists without having much impact. Would a one off massive protest be more effective?
