Love in politics often seen as weak, but now seeing it as a beautiful call to action in my latest read: bell hooks’ (sic) ‘all about love’:

The media and political class is complicit in the far right, racist and Islamophobic violence we’re seeing across our country. This morning, I experienced the visceral denial of this reality.

“Who spoke for all of us” …you mean all of us billionaire media barons bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry?

When we build strength from below, we can challenge those at the top. Our new movement starts here. My piece for the @guardian. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Nigel Farage received 12% of TV/press coverage in the election. @TheGreenParty (with 4 seats to Reform’s 5) didn’t even make top 20. Great research from @lboroCRCC shows Greens & smaller parties were especially marginalised by a press mesmerised by Farage’s anti-migrant noise

Good morning! Another tactical voting site has withdrawn its advice for people to vote Labour in Chingford & Woodford Green. Our updated canvassing data is also still showing that it’s better to vote Faiza Shaheen to beat IDS. Again, this data is collected from across the constituency and we knock on all doors where there are registered voters. Something big is happening here, but we need your help in this last week. Imagine election night if we win! Be part of that moment. Sign up here faizashaheen.co.uk/join-the-campa…

🔥 NEW analysis of BBC Question Time guests over nine years suggests a massive overuse of rightwing voices. theconversation.com/bbc-question-t…

@faizashaheen Please I beg you to run as an independent, to crowdfund for your deposit, to unite with other socialist independents &within your election manifesto state clearly your intention to unite with others once elected to keep socialism alive in the uk. You have my prayers. I thank you!

Really?! Wow a Brent councillor with no history here at all. They would rather lose than have a left pro Palestine candidate This is offensive to my community

@FisherAndrew79 @faizashaheen Anyone with the skills to set up crowdfunder to support them?

@FisherAndrew79 @faizashaheen Why don’t all these deselected MPs run as independents and then when there is time, form a new political party. They being a significant element of their manifest. There are so many, surely now is the time to do this?

Struggled to watch this on #Newsnight It's hard to find the words for the people running the Labour Party right now. Anyway, they're not repeatable. Total solidarity with @faizashaheen - one of the most intelligent and nicest people you could ever hope to meet in politics.

@RhonddaBryant @caneuseeme Chris, this is Laura!

This is a huge story, by any measure, the UK print media is so embedded at one end of the political spectrum it refuses to see this.

@AuthorGerald @Aiannucci @BylineTimes There's a 7 minute video explainer too youtu.be/GHnW_V5dfu0?si…

Q - What is a Freeport? A - A Freeport is privately owned Q - What is a port? A - A port is publicly owned Q - What is a Special Economic Zone (SEZ)? A - An SEZ is a designated region that comes under a 'Governmental Authority' in which business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country. Q - How many Freeports and SEZs are being set up in the UK? A - 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs are currently being installed in the UK Q- Which parties back these SEZs and Freeports? A- Conservatives and Labour fully back the creation of Freeports and SEZs, they are sitting members of the Freeports consortia in England, Scotland, and Wales Q - Do these SEZs and Freeports sabotage rejoining the EU? A - Yes, because the UK Govt post-Brexit can give State Aid (public money) to companies of their choosing which distorts markets, creating an unlevel playing field, this is forbidden in the EU as it disrupts the integrity of the EU's single Market Q - Is Brexit being forced to work by the Conservatives and Labour? A - Yes

This is so powerful… And all before our eyes.
