“We're Hungry. The whole world is in their homes, full & satisfied. They have food & salaries.. They are playing , laughing & happy but we're always crying & sad..” “I wish I could eat like the other children... People throw food away, & we just wish we could have it.”

Hm…I’m going to try a thought here and I want y’all to experiment with me. It goes like this: We should probably recognise that what CNA preaches as gender/feminist politics is in fact class politics. Okay, go back to what she says and does and look at them as class anxieties

Those claiming that Labour just needs to copy Reform in order to beat it should take a minute to consider some simple and obvious facts about actual Labour voters.

"There would be something deeply perverse about celebrating the defeat of the extreme right on the battlefield on VE Day while ignoring the fact that much of the West is currently voting for its ideological descendants at the ballot box." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

My MP Keir Starmer is a disgrace to Holborn & St. Pancras & Camden. His dogwhistle racism only shows how deep in the sewer he has gone in order to cling to power. I am an immigrant, as are many of us in Camden. In Camden we are a thriving, diverse community who deserve so much

Labour: 'We're cutting disability benefits because we want to get more people into work.' Also Labour: 'We're cutting back the Access to Work scheme which helps support 50,000 disabled people to work.' Powerful, heartbreaking blog by Touretteshero: touretteshero.com/safe/2025/05/2…

Disability benefits cuts would, unequivocally, kill a lot of disabled people. Some would die by suicide. Others through the slow violence of stress, malnutrition, untreated pain. It’s that simple. It really is. Vote against #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

The problem is not that people don't accept we need welfare reforms. The problem is that the reforms the government put forward are unfair, ill-thought through cuts whose main purpose is saving money for the Treasury.

It’s awful. But why don’t u also speak out as Israel slaughters hundreds every day. U shameless, amoral hypocrite David Lammy. My former boss Nelson Mandela would be as disgusted by u as we all are

Under Gandhi’s statue. For holding placards. A priest, a professor, medics - arrested for peaceful protest. This is not about terrorism. It’s about silencing dissent - and it’s leading us down an ever darkening path.

Enough. Enough. Enough. Except it never seems to be enough for the IDF. They just can't stop killing doctors, journalists, anyone who will impede their killing spree

The economics of benefits: why paying them makes us richer youtu.be/m14VXvel3l4?si… Politicians keep telling us that benefits are a black hole draining the economy. The truth? They’re one of the best ways to grow it, as I explain in this morning’s video.

Labour has a Disability problem. I don't think many at a senior level realise that, it's hard for anyone to admit prejudice. Nevertheless it's there in their language and behaviours. They can change this, but they have to want to do it.

“Huge swathes” of severely disabled people will be hit by the upcoming Universal Credit cuts, contrary to government claims they will be protected. My exclusive in tomorrow’s Guardian: theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
