The original Antifa was Antifaschistische Aktion, created by Germans to oppose Adolf Hitler.

It existed from 1932-1933, then Hitler banned it and declared all its members terrorists.

History never changes, fat orange fascists just try to repeat it.

I had a wonderful time running the Cardiff half today. This race really showcases the best of the city. Support was amazing, and all the runners did themselves proud.

These are the tubular bells in my local kid's play park. The fourth is extremely sharp so my daughter got an impromptu lesson about the lydian scale today!

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

There is a difference between protesting using violence and protesting the use of proscription - my urgent question on how to ensure we get the balance between tackling intimidation and protecting the right to protest. I will continue to urge ministers to review these laws to protect our democracy.
