This coming year, I hope more people and services meant to protect take seriously the violence that men perpetrate against their partners and family members.

The message that non-white people are unwelcome in the UK got louder in 2025 – here's the proof www.bigissue.com/opinion/anti...
Here the proof that UK's racist and anti-migrant rhetoric got louder in 2025
It is hard not to see a rising tide of explicit hate and anti-migrant rhetoric emerging online – and there's extensive data to back it up.

Haha, no wonder they wanted Wilson gone. Fucking Treasury 😏

'Britain could hope to win economic security only by a fundamental reconstruction and modernisation of industry under the direction of s department at least as powerful as the Treasury.'
Great start. 'It had meant the application of specifically socialist measures, some of them newly designed for the problems we were facing, to secure national policies in industry and a more purposive use of our natural resources for overcoming a national malady.'

Started going to the gym this year & surprisingly I actually really like it. Surprising because I haven't set foot in a gym in over 20 years. Gives me time to think. Anyway, made a playlist. First 3 songs are great motivators for 10 mins on the bike. Enjoy!

This Christmas, please #KeepEyesOnSudan.
The war has caused over 150,000 deaths and displaced over 12 million people. The United Arab Emirates is bankrolling the genocide.

This Christmas, if you have the means, please give what you can to a spotlight campaign @ gaza funds to directly support families in Gaza. These donations work to help everyone, not just the people with the biggest social media followings.

Had my yearly midnight catch up with the lapsed Catholics. Last year I prayed and lit a candle for a ceasefire in Gaza (and an end to the occupation). I figured if all the lapsed Catholics prayed for it, maybe we'd catch a break.

Data obtained from police forces in England and Wales show the scale of sexual convictions for police officers. 'forces must “wake up to the horror” and do more to prevent predators from joining their ranks.' #PoliceCrimeDaily

If it isn't obvious, I love a good spy film/TV series, and The Recruit scratches a few itches. For one, there are some really terrible, skilled, and violent women in it. I support women's rights and wrongs.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Thankful for this statement of solidarity & care by @inquest-org.bsky.social for the 8 Palestine Action prisoners currently on hunger strike.
This year alone 59 prisoners held on remand have died in prison. 'The lives of people in prison should never be expendable'

The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

I hope this means something and that the family also advocates for all the other people imprisoned on an indefinite sentence. None of them should be in there. And all of them deserve reparations. #IPPscandal
