Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"
My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)
The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.
Thank you for your consideration.

…make Labour any less fascist nor will it stop paving the way for fascism.
The current litmus tests;
- Transphobic segregationist policies,
- Digital ID cards,
- Gaza,
- Trump,
- Electoral reform.
In all these Labour is in Group 1.

That's most certainly the problem with MAGA, and it's the case with Reform UK as well.
Angela Rayner was obliged to resign because Labour and the other parties are still playing by the old rules.
The Brexit right simply don't care about that stuff unless it suits them to use it against people.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
