1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

A special Winter Solstice podcast episode, recorded on the solstice, in darkness, in the Galloway Forest Park in Scotland. I explore the meaning of the longest night. I share an invitation to  reflect, to rest, to embrace stillness and the beauty of unknowing.

“It wasn’t immigrants who hiked anyone’s electricity bills. It wasn’t asylum seekers who increased anyone’s rent. Trans people didn’t make your weekly shopping more expensive.

We’re here to call bullshit on those kinds of lies."

This has made me keep faith that progress happens - even when it looks like everything else is rolling (or catapulting) backwards. She will no doubt face a wave of misogyny, but she's heard it all before.

This Saturday.

Glasgow. Buchanan Galleries steps.

Come in your numbers and show that the far-right will never be welcome in our communities.

There is a counter protest planned by the fascists, so a strong presence is necessary.

Antifascism is everyone's duty.

My latest blog piece, the moral isolationism of Starmer in the face of the far right. It’s no longer a question of if Scotland should risk the uncertainties of independence, but should we risk the ugly certainty of a far right English nationalist UK.

The moral isolationism of Starmer in the face of the far right
On Saturday in London there was the largest far-right rally that the UK has seen in decades. Called Unite the Kingdom, the march was organised by far right thug and convicted criminal Stephen Yaxle…

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.

They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

To misuse it in the way the far right is attempting to do is profoundly anti-Scottish, because they are abusing a symbol of Scottish nationhood – a symbol of Scotland’s centuries-long tradition of civic nationalism – and trying to turn it into a symbol of ethnic exclusion, writes Paul Kavanagh ✍️

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.

A message for Nigel Farage and Reform: We will hold you to account.

They've taken at least £2.3m in oil and gas donations and their true agenda is serving the super rich.

It's time for us all to challenge power & wealth and that massively includes Farage.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

"No hate like Christian love" was the prompt for this episode of UNFKD. Recorded from my holiday in the calm before storm Floris, I share a theological reflection on Christian love. My take: we are compelled, as Christians to love. With awareness of those who have been wounded by Christianity.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Murdering and massacring innocents is indefensible. So why on earth is it allowed to continue? The answer is moral relativism, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day and the first day of Non-Binary Awareness Week

The day was first celebrated in 2012, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day.

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people.
You could call it wink murder.

Ways to keep cool in the record-breaking heat:

1. Put ice in front of your fan
2. Put a damp towel around your neck
3. Close your curtains
4. Dismantle the rapacious, extractive fossil-fuel dependent capitalist system via any means necessary
5. Sip, don't gulp water
