I refuse to accept the labelling of science as ‘left-wing’. Not only because I think this is largely aimed at discrediting facts as opinions, but also -for any insider- it’s so untrue. The echelons of science are too traditional, hierarchical & club-based to qualify for any sort of progressive left.

Stop pretending Jews are a monolithic group, and that people who object to *genocide* are racist. I've been on marches with my wife, participating in chants, marching with the sizeable Jewish bloc because my wife is Jewish.
It's exhausting.
I never thought I'd say this but feeling so bleak this morning, part of me wishes they'd cut the smokescreen and just admit they don't like Jews - in Israel or anywhere else. Embrace the racism. Stop pretending they're the good guys on the side of progressive values. Be honest.

Britain is like this because our national politics is a shrivelled husk of democracy: a country where the world’s most poisonous media outlets fill a great gaping void empty of actual politics with relentless fear, incitement and hatred.

We shared research from our 'My Colour Speaks Before Me' report, while Peer Researcher Uche shared her powerful lived experience.

Every literary festival or theatre should condemn this, but as Sonia says, they won’t. They will cowardly disguise themselves by saying it’s “politics” and that they aren’t “political”. The storming of the National Theatre of Palestine is a crime not only on Palestinians, but on Palestinian art.
I can’t wait for PEN to comment on the Israeli intelligence forces storming the Palestinian National Theatre in Jerusalem and threatening the whole cast of the children’s performance and the audience if they didn’t leave in five minutes.
Because they won’t.
Because they won’t.

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻♀️

this is a great reminder that ‘anyone can register with a GP surgery, and that proof of address or immigration status are not needed. It also highlights that people have a right to a free interpreter’
A quick reminder about our Access to Health card which sets out people’s rights to accessing treatment and registering with a GP.
