NEU staff are on strike today and tomorrow.
We can’t beleive it’s come to this. Striking as a trade union worker requires an absurd amount of things to go wrong — because you spend everyday making the union you love the kind of organisation people want to join - you only ever want to see it win.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Today, children are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity.
We ask how the world could have possibly let them happen.
Future history books will shame those who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but chose to enable atrocity after atrocity instead.

Israel is expanding its ground invasion in northern Gaza, issuing sweeping forced displacement orders for many thousands of Palestinians, while continuing to rain down bombs on the population.

Before I was first elected in 2019, I pledged to take a worker’s wage and share the remainder after tax with my community. I obviously donate any MPs’ pay rises as part of this.

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.
Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.
People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

I know where I stand on austerity.
That's why I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap, opposed the means-testing for winter fuel payments, & will vote against cuts to welfare & disability benefits.
Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, the government should tax the rich.

Israel's siege on Gaza, the blocking of essential aid and the cutting off of electricity are textbook acts of genocide, designed to systematically starve 2 million people.
It's shameful the Labour government continues to refuse to recognise this for what it truly is: genocide.
