Berkeley Homes are threatening to destroy the heart of Peckham by demolishing the Aylesham Centre and turning it into luxury flats with just 50 social homes out of 867 new properties - please donate towards Aylesham Community Action's legal action against this: www.crowdjustice.com/case/acapeck...

Is Britain far right?
Do most people in Britain really sympathise with far-right views? As Reform UK rises in the polls, we asked the experts.

We are appalled by empty statements that lack corresponding action. If Western states were truly committed to ending Israel’s war on Gaza or ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians, they would impose sanctions on Israel & members of its cabinet & implement an arms embargo.
