So sad to hear that Alex Wheatle - celebrated author and ‘Brixton Bard’ - has passed on. Such an inspiring man, with a golden heart. His novel Brixton Rock was a masterpiece. Rest in peace King 👑 www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

'More In Common' claim the Left are more dogmatic than the Far Right, but when questioned about this on Novara Media, they said the Right were not a big enough group to measure last time they looked, in 2020.

I used to look forward to @tribunemagazine.bsky.social arriving. I’ve written for them. But no longer, after publisher Bhaskar Sunkara backed Trump’s attack on DEI. I will keep my subs for now as I wait for articles taking a different position. Maybe next edition? tribunemag.co.uk/author/leste...

It was a pleasure to speak to students at Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge, today.
I was talking about why stories matter to society, and our individual/collective power to contest narratives.
I also discussed my role at Homerton College, Cambridge, and the mission/values of Homerton.

The quote from the NHS spokesperson at the end of this article highlights what the problem is. The NHS claimed 9 out of 10 Black people are happy with their cancer treatment, despite the fact that the survey clearly shows only 71% do, 5% less than white patients.

If businesses can’t afford to pay the lowest-paid a survivable wage and worker benefits, they can’t afford those workers. That’s how capitalism works. A business earns money and pays their workers for achieving that.

Today is the second day of #Kwanzaa. The principle today is #Kujichagulia (Swahili for self-determination), representing the desire for peoples of African descent to define and speak for ourselves.

Celebrating all workers in this Christmas & New Year festive season. May you be appreciated by customers and bosses alike, and remunerated fairly.
However, as @the-tuc.bsky.social points out, many of these workers are in low-paid precarious jobs >> morningstaronline.co.uk/article/spar...

It’s foolhardy for government to roll out the red carpet for multi-billion AI data centres without laying down the parameters for the AI tsunami not to sweep over workers, rights and living standards. This requires thinking, or at least some basic principles. amp.theguardian.com/technology/2...
