‘There’s a basic decency among British people’: Hope Not Hate’s Nick Lowles on how to defeat the far right
Lowles has spent his entire adult life organising against fascism, facing countless threats as a result. He discusses the street confrontations of the 80s, foiling a murder plot, Nazi satanists – and the urgent need for optimism and action

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

I’m a bit of a connoisseur of shit Leeds performances in cup competitions & that’s up there with my all time favourites. Darlow’s majestic own goal. DCL’s truly astonishing cameo. Missing every penalty. The fact that we lost to some children at a club tearing itself apart. Positively sublime. #lufc

96.6% of kids in Yorkshire don’t go to private schools.
Any chance you can focus on them as much as you do schools that charge £16k a year
Also how much do the headteachers get at these private schools? #LookNorth

- What about non-doms already here?
- We will invite them to come here.
- But what about the ones here?
- If you're a non-dom already here, you're probably fleeing.
- Some haven't fled.
- Some are though.

BBC tries to discover whether the 90% of wealthy non-doms who are still in the UK will be able to pay the poorest 10p to dodge tax.

Vicki Young: "But lots of them haven't fled."

Outstanding from Lammy. Impossible to tolerate the moral oblivion into which Netanyahu has dragged Israel.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy suspends UK-Israel trade negotiations and summons the Israeli ambassador over IDF actions in Gaza, which he says are "incompatible with the principles that underpin our bilateral relations" and an "affront to the values of the British people."

We despise immigrants for not putting down roots, even as we make sure that it is impossible for them to do so. We do this because we have no idea what we want.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
