The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Powerful Guardian editorial on urgent need for #climate adaptation & for “real plans, real finance, real justice”. And good to see shout out to work of @climatemajority.bsky.social & GlacierTrust showing adaptation as both essential in itself & as a spur to greater decarbonisation👇

The fascists are organising a carol concert in London to "draw attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage".

What would Woody do?

Write an anti-fascist Xmas carol and sing it at the counter demo.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social absolutely sensational on Question Time. Actually made it feel like I'd gained something from watching it for once (although admittedly that may be because I put it on 2x speed whenever Zia Yusuf started talking).

When are we going to have a special on:
• The rise of the far-right
• The state of the NHS
• The severe lack of trans+ healthcare
• The constantly hiking rent
• The 1% who own half this country's wealth
• Stagnant wages for the working class
• The state of council homes
• The housing crisis
...

I was looking forward to the Zack vs Zia battle and it turned into the Zack vs everyone except Daisy Cooper battle. It was refreshing to finally hear a QT guest say that immigration is not the reason for failing public services. They are running scared and maybe there are a few more greens tonight.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax.

I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens.

You'd look ridiculous.

Zine-making as a tool for Collective Intelligence

We've been using creative, participatory methods for gathering insights, zine-making.

Authentic voices that speak to what open, collaborative research feels like as much as what it means.

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020.

This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers.

The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.
