I have another @bluesky account. That one doesn't focus exclusively on politics. Politics is just one of my interests. I may not be great at multitasking but I do try. What can I say about my politics? The term Corbynista is considered problematic by some. But it captures much about my politics.
I have two @bsky.app accounts. For some time I've been neglecting this one. However, the other one, which deals with plenty of non-political stuff, has taken up all my time, including my focus on politics. If anyone is interested, here's my other account: bsky.app/profile/did:... #UniteTheSocialists

I hope so and I think you’re right-such a great fighter is unlikely to just quit. We need him!

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.
The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.
So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.
In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating Hanukkah!
Hanukkah marks the triumph of resilience over oppression and the fight for freedom — while reminding us to reflect on power and end cycles of violence.
May the light of the menorah inspire liberation, justice and peace for all 🕎✨

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?
Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.
This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.
