Birmingham's "Benefits Street" of the exploitative TV show lies steps from one of the first industrial factories, a Victorian prison, and the canal network that connected colonial and metropolitan exploitation and profit.

Today's elites are beneficiaries of a long history of racial capitalism.
The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

"I myself have publicly advocated the use of direct action, including property sabotage, in the cause of climate justice. It stands to reason that I should support the same range of tactics in the effort to prevent genocide."

A significant swathe of Birmingham was under water 2 weeks ago, after heavy rain, because the infrastructure can't cope with climate change, and the city council can't even unblock the drains because of austerity. Still wild to me that that's now somehow entirely routine.
More than 700,000 homes across the ten English councils now governed by Reform UK are projected to face medium or higher flood risk by the middle of the century, exclusive analysis of national modelling by Byline Times and Bylines Network shows.
Drowning in denial: one in five homes in Reform UK heartlands faces flooding in 25 years
Even as the party rolls back climate action, Reform-controlled councils sit on some of England’s worst rising flood risks

Delighted to represent @mumsforlungs.bsky.social at the Healthy Air, Healthy Lives conference on Saturday. It was a really informative day - from air-quality insights to media training - and great to connect with people working for cleaner air.
Thank you to Florence and @waseemzaffar.bsky.social

"One positive was the power of organised people: Indigenous groups and civil society made their voices heard, even if they weren’t translated into the final text. Protests happened every day during the conference, most notably an Indigenous-led “great people’s march” on the middle Saturday."

Anyone who can look at the current underfunded state of UK universities and think there's half a billion quid you can take out of the sector without doing catastrophic damage is just not fit for office.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
