North London Marxist.
Grassroots music venues are rooted in our communities and play an invaluable role in building bridges, giving a voice to marginalised groups and the fight against genocide. 🇵🇸

My latest piece on Grassroots For Gaza in @labouroutlook.bsky.social:
Grassroots For Gaza: fighting censorship & speaking out against genocide - Labour Outlook
Grassroots for Gaza shows that " principle & courage will always defeat the dark forces who want to sow division, stoke fear & deny complicity in the worst atrocities known to man."

The charges against KNEECAP’s Mo Chara are a disgraceful attempt to intimidate artists and suppress voices speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.

We will never stop calling out Israel’s atrocities in Palestine — and the British government’s participation in them. 🇵🇸

When the politicians fail, the people stand up to demand an immediate arms embargo…

The British government will remain an active participant in Israel’s genocide in Gaza for as long as sites like BAE Systems in Kent remain open.

At this point you have to question if the British government would even condemn Israel, let alone suspend arms sales, if it bombed London.

Nothing resembling that has happened when bombs have rained down on the civilians in Gaza, Beirut, Sanaa or Tehran.

60,000+ people have been murdered by Israel in Gaza with British bombs since October 2023 — without a single charge brought against those complicit in genocide.

The charges against KNEECAP’s Mo Chara are nothing more than a distraction. We know who the real terrorists are.

We need to build a strong coalition of genuine progressives to defeat the rise of the far-right, which has been enabled by the cowardly and unambitious Starmer government.

The fight back has to start now. Support @ZackPolanski as the next leader of the Green Party.
We need bold leadership. Now.

That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party.

Starmer’s idiotic response to the local elections disaster, such as plans to abolish DCMS, shows how incompetent he and his top team are.

More pound shop Farage politics that wrongly smear grassroots music venues, art and sports as “waste” whilst protecting the obscene wealth of the super rich.

The intention of Zionist attacks on KNEECAP is clear: they want to make artistic expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people a no-go zone for all artists.

This assault on artistic freedom must be resisted — and those speaking out against genocide must be defended.

Tens of thousands of us showing up for trans rights after last week’s Supreme Court injustice.

When trans rights are under attack, stand up fight back. 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans people face the most devastating demonisation from many in the political and media establishment on a daily basis — and today’s Supreme Court ruling will be used as ammunition by those rancid people to attack the LGBTQ+ community.

Solidarity with trans people everywhere 🏳️‍⚧️

We need to tax billionaires out of existence.

The rigged capitalist system has pushed millions into poverty and our economy to breaking point.

From steel to energy, water, mail and rail — we must take every single bit of British industry into public ownership and hand power back to our communities.

The British government’s role in providing arms, surveillance and political cover for Israel’s slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza cannot be understated.

We need a comprehensive inquiry to bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

Whilst bills continue to rise and the cost of living crisis pushes millions into debt, the super rich have never had it easier.

We need nothing short of a revolution with wealth tax and mass nationalisation to transform the society torn apart by a rigged economy.

Labour’s welfare cuts will push millions of sick and disabled people into poverty whilst pumping billions into the global arms trade. This is a moral outrage.

Proud to sign the #DignityDeclaration alongside other progressives demanding a fairer society.

Labour are heading for a crushing defeat at the next election — and it will be the result of their embarrassing failure to stand up to the far-right and punching down austerity whilst letting the super rich off the hook.

Israel has intentionally slaughtered thousands of Palestinian civilians, aid workers and journalists in its genocide in Gaza and will continue to do so - aided and abetted by the British government.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy have blood on their hands.

The stigmatisation of mental health issues is the latest in the punching downwards mean streak at the heart of this Labour government.

A cynical and uneducated attack on the most vulnerable people in society to try and justify the murderous austerity Streeting supports.
Mental health conditions are overdiagnosed, Streeting says
Wes Streeting says too many young people are "being written off", as he defends upcoming welfare reforms.
