In 2021 I wrote two short articles summarising a #socialist view of the world - why #workers should oppose #capitalism and fight to replace it with a new society, #socialism. Have a read. #Socialist #Marxism #Marxist southlondonsocialist.wordpress.com/2024/10/21/wha…

Ahead of the Government’s so-called “reset” review of the water sector landing on Monday, I’ve noticed a growing effort to pin the blame on the regulator, Ofwat. That’s a deep misdiagnosis of the problem. Here’s why: Yes, Ofwat has failed, and repeatedly. It’s been weak,…

💥Labor Party leader Yair Golan: "The violence against Ayman Odeh is a direct result of prolonged political incitement. Those who vote in the Knesset in favor of ousting an Arab public official because of his opinions cannot be shocked when rioters attack him in the street. This…

11 Miners Shot Dead at Wagner-Run Gold Mine in the Central African Republic — AP At least 11 people were killed in a shooting at a gold mine in the Central African Republic controlled by the Wagner Group, according to the Associated Press.

I was asked to take a look into this tweet, cos, well, it’s Andrea Jenkyns!🤷🏼‍♀️ So first - the substance of the story… 1/20

In a week’s time Heathrow Airport will publish its plans for a 3rd runway. It has recently confirmed that 5530 homes will be rendered unliveable, meaning about 16.000 of my constituents losing their homes. Most, except the Chancellor, know it’s a white elephant, aviation’s HS2.

John Hendy's amendment to the Employment Rights Bill to legalise solidarity action returns to the Lords on Wednesday. Five unions have issued this statement in support of it (it was also backed by PCS). The whole labour movt must support this demand. See freeourunions.org/2025/07/19/joh…

This is good news. But a panoply of laws now make a struggle like the miners' strike flatly illegal. In so far as there can be real collective justice for what happened while capitalism still rules, it requires the repeal of all these anti-union laws. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Leaving workers to wither on the vine is not what I expect from a @UKLabour @GOVUK. There's something wholly wrong with a decision to ignore workers who are losing up to a quarter of their pay. #Birmingham #Bins independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Russia launched its biggest ever attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Pavlohrad early on Saturday, as part of a large wave of strikes across the country involving hundreds of kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Sunni Arabs are only 20% of Iraq. Representatives of the majority thought they could tame them by force. The result was ISIS and a war which destroyed the country again. But some Syrians think the results will be different in Syria. Not only profoundly immoral, but stupid too.

I'm sorry to say that I witnessed this tonight - a real example of tashbeeh, that is, Assad-style thuggery. I attended a peaceful sit-in. People were holding signs which said 'It is forbidden for a Syrian to spill Syrian blood' and other slogans calling for a ceasefire and...

Particularly with their strikes coming up, great to see the re-election of a socialist and fighting trade unionist - who also, for her time spent as BMA deputy chair, takes only her original salary and not the higher one the union offers.

The British right is redefining ‘working class’ to include landowning farmers and business owners whilst denigrating unionised public sector workers as ‘parasites’.

The attempt to impeach Ayman Odeh has failed — but the attack on our political existence continues. They wanted to silence a voice that speaks out against the war, against the occupation, and for a just peace. They tried to send a message: if you refuse to fall in line with the…

Today, the Israeli Knesset voted on whether to impeach me from Parliament. And with great pride, I can say: the fascists failed. They failed for one reason: you, the people. They tried to silence us, but our voices were louder. Palestinians and Jews, from every corner of…

Great to see friends from @RMT_Scotland at @DurhamMiners gala yesterday - and to see one of their member activists showing solidarity with Ukraine!
