BREAKING: Even Fox News is slamming Donald Trump for making a deal with oil executives to offer them a reversal on all of Biden’s climate initiatives in exchange for campaign contributions. Retweet so all Americans see how corrupt Trump is.

Gary Lineker says what UK Media refuses to:

“It’s not antisemitic to say what Israel does is wrong. There’s a lot of heavy lobbying on people to be quiet. Its the worse I have seen in my lifetime: the constant images of Palestinian children being killed. I can’t be silent.'

BREAKING
As Israel orders more civilians to evacuate Rafah, it's time for all of our UK politicians to say STOP

What are the chances they’ve actually booked Arse and not realised?

Watching Israel's UN ambassador shred the UN Charter is an important visual reminder that Israel has murdered 191 UN staff in Gaza since October.

Slightly annoyed that I missed nature's great light show last night. On the plus side, it's very quiet this morning and there's some nice new plants arrived in the garden.

Louise Cook #3.5% #GTTO #MVM AXS_UK Billy Bragg Well the lady on the door was fab. Not the jobsworth I had expected. Billy was in the finest voice I have ever heard him and I love the new Duesenberg guitar Billy Bragg

Lovely weather for some sun, sea and socialism in Margate tonight. Dreamland doors open 7pm, Jack Valero 7.30pm BB 8.30pm. Some tickets still available if you fancy a fired-up Friday night by the sea 🔥

Just a reminder that terfs hate all gay people that aren't themselves, and think gay men shouldn't be able to have children via surrogate even when a member of their family happily volunteers

The people screaming in terror about the protests know this very well and they don’t care. They regard *the mere existence of the protests* as in itself aggressive and intolerably threatening, and react accordingly: by sending in the cops and gangs of volunteer thugs.

A coming of age. Three weeks shy of my first
Billy Bragg gig at Kendal Brewery Arts Centre in 1984, I’m back for my 21st, another HOPE not hate benefit, and he was joined by his son Jack Valero. A great gig as ever. Thanks for the music and the activism boost, Bill

Landlords?
Extortionate tuition fees?
Social mobility?

As it's behind a telegraph paywall, I'm inclined to say no 🤔

it was amazing to watch how the establishment that once pedestaled her in order to offload the burden of change onto young people has since completely abandoned her in response to her anti-capitalist/anti-genocide political development

I can’t actually believe I’m reading this. I’m shaking with anger & despair.

Since when did throwing women’s autonomy & gay men under the bus in service to a 100% reactionary view of gender roles become “feminism”?

If this is what passes for feminism these days I’m fucking out.

How our lives, our planet and our mental health got trashed by something we scarcely understand: a doctrine that changed everything. Neoliberalism.

Natalie Elphicke is right to apologise.
The decision to accept it 5 years after she first said it is unusual.
Not everyone is treated with such generosity.

Storming gig at Islington Assembly Hall from @BillyBragg and son Jack Valero, touring together for the first time.

BB in powerful voice and combative mood. 'Music doesn't have the power to change the world but the power to make you believe that the world can be changed.'

I worked for Mandela David Lammy He would have supported the students as he did the Palestinian struggle his whole life. Don’t besmirch the name of a liberator, a freedom fighter (who instigated civil disobedience & the armed struggle) a person of principle ie everything u r not
