So wait…

Is Tel Aviv now a no-go area for Jews?

Are Maccabi Tel Aviv antisemitic for attacking Jews and Jewish police?

Are Tel Aviv police antisemitic for blocking Jews from a game of football?

Would I be antisemitic for criticising Israelis (and therefore all Jews globally) for rioting?

1/ I guess I’m ‘The Good Immigrant’:

Been here most of my life now, never claimed benefits, paid taxes, worked for the NHS, taught students, done research for public good, volunteered, spoke English fluently.

So why do I feel so alienated and hurt by the government’s anti- immigrant rhetoric?

4/ So I guess I’m not so ‘good’ after all. I don’t pull the ladder up behind me. I don’t use my privilege to bash the unfortunate. I don’t express gratitude for an unjust society that punishes people for their suffering. I don’t shut up. I speak up. I hope you do too.

This is what Israel is. And so long as we arm and otherwise support them, this is who we are as well.
Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

We often talk about the impact of figures like Andrew Tate on boys, but what about his impact on girls? What toll does it take on the psyche of a teenage girl to see him elevated by the media, protected by governments and worshipped by peers? What lessons are girls learning about their worth?

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

It is politics by ego. This is what you get when you place the hopes of the left in the hands of celebrities and their bag-carriers, without nourishing the capacity to self-organise.

The farce of recent days is the logical end point of that political method.

The public split between Your Party co-founders Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana shows how building mass movements around leftwing celebrities doesn’t work, argues Michael Chessum.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.

And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.

Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

The Your Party vapourware shitshow failed Kickstarter project is still rumbling on.

Not a single decent leader or leadership partnership, or project manager, or policy and marketing expert among them.

They could have hired a project lead with the £1M raised but gave it all back.

"The left". 🙄

Wes Streeting is making the NHS make around 100k vital staff redundant and the £1billion redundancy cost has to be paid out of the existing NHS budget.

Yesterday (13th September 2025) I found myself in London, camera slung over my shoulder, moving through a crowd I wasn’t there to join but to try and understand. That’s what I do: I observe, I photograph, and I try, however imperfectly, to make sense of the world in front of me.

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in.

Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

They are attacking the Police again, at the 'peaceful march'.

Imagine if Pro Palestine supporters did this (they never do), they would all be instantly in jail.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin.

Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation.

We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

100,000 plus on the facist march in London today. Police estimating 5000 on the Stand up to Racism counter demonstration. Recent events have clearly helped swell numbers for the far right but this is very worrying. In my life time I have never known facists out number antifacists like this.

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.

They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Just when you think you have reached your capacity to be shocked. Then you discover the IDF are doing something so absolutely abhorrent that it floors you once again. I shudder to think what horrors will be discovered when this all ends and all the truth finally comes out.
NHS physiotherapist Rachael Moses, who has been working in Gaza, confirms she's seen what other volunteer medics have also reported, that Palestinians have patterns of injuries suggesting Israeli soldiers are playing a game where they shoot victims in different parts of the body each day #GMB
