Currently full of people saying how nice things are but it does look like it'll replace this place when it finally conks out. Engagement here is so poor anyway. Follow me @nikofirkin.bsky.social

not sure ‘let’s starve british kids so we can blow foreign ones up!’ is the winning campaign slogan he thinks it is

MASSIVE PROTEST IN ROME TODAY Protestors in Rome carried a massive symbolic shroud, inscribed with the names of more than 21,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel.

This boy jumped for joy welcoming the pope in Lebanon in November and today they pulled his body from the rubble after Israel’s bombing. Last year, only 5 members of Congress voted with me when I tried to defund Israel, who bombs and kills the innocent.

We have tested this shit to destruction. How are you enjoying your nice town, your clean river, your cheap consumer goods, the house you own, your good quality employment, intelligent boss, your merit-based career, your driverless car and your labour-saving computer companion?

More pressing is the issue of nuclear Armageddon in Iran. Keir Starmer has lost the plot.

As of February 2026, there are 2000 British nationals who fought with the IDF in Gaza — zero have been questioned by the police despite the fact they may have participated in genocide.

"Great Satan" sounding like a fairly reasonable, merely descriptive formulation this afternoon.

The Met imposes heavy restrictions on our peaceful marches, which do nothing but mark Palestinian suffering, but they route the far right through Whitehall. The Met acknowledges the low arrest rate on the pro Palestine marches - they're lower than football matches.

in the entire history of the olympics (more than 10,000 athletes each summer games and 3,000 each winter) since 1896, this would have applied to one (1) woman who did not place in anything

It's back!

👏 FULL PROGRAMME RELEASE 👏 We are extremely excited to announce or full programme for this years festival, which will kick off in 2 weeks!!! We'll have sessions covering a whole range of socialist topics, always with an aim of how can we organise to win. Covering party politics with the Greens and Your Party, fighting far right extremism locally & globally and looking at the state of Trade Union organising 100 years on from the General Strike. And be sure to make our closing session, where we will confront the biggest issue of our time, rising imperialism. We'll discuss how we can and must organise against it as socialists and how YOU can do it - for a liberated Palestine, Iran and and for the whole international working class ✊️ 🇵🇸 ⚒️ We'll be joined by a whole range of organisers - rank-and-file trade unionists, authors, academics, and leading activists in their fields - as well as organisations from up and down the country including: Palestine Youth Movement (@pymbritain), Greens Organise (@greensorganise), The Bristol Cable (@thebristolcable), Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone (@bristolafz), Workers For a Free Palestine (@workers4pal), Iskra Books (@read_iskrabooks), local union branches, and many more! All of this comes with not only FREE CHILDCARE ALL DAY for the mini-Marxists out there (all ages welcome!), but for the first time this year a full youth programme aimed at 11-16 year olds interested in left wing and socialist politics. 16s and under all get in free for the festival (but still need to "buy" a ticket on headfirst!) As well as hours of amazing educational content, we've got great evening entertainment lined up. We'll be kicking off on the Friday night with socialist Shark Tank (i.e. Marx Tank) and on Saturday we have a whole evening of entertainment lined up - a pub quiz, sea shanties workshop, bands, and DJ's late into the night.

This is what opposing an illegal war of aggression looks like. Starmer is providing the weapons, bases, and intelligence to the US to conduct its war on Iran

Send him to the front line.

BREAKING: Trump and Israel dropped bombs on a warehouse full of medicines and baby formula in Hamedan, Iran today — completely obliterating it. Not a military target. Medicines. Baby formula.

Israel killed every single paramedic in this photo today in South Lebanon. 12 paramedics slaughtered in one Israeli strike. Israel DELIBERATELY targeted their medical center. Killing medics is a war crime. Killing medics is a crime against humanity. This is medicide.

Israel has killed 103 children in Lebanon since last Monday.

Yvette Cooper proscribed Palestine Action to protect the Israeli weapons industry during the genocide. Now she's trying to use young girls dressed in traditional Palestinian clothing for a photo op. Disgusting.

Loads of police shipped in from Wales and Devon. Horses. Pepper spray. Baton whacks. Hours of overtime paid. And for what? To escort a couple of dozen dickheads with Neo-nazi mates round town? Like why? What's the point? Losers. No pasaran!

China: "We have met every target of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Our renewable output alone now exceeds electricity consumption for the entire EU" USA: "We are killing little girls in Iran for Israel. $779M/day. Can't protect Dubai or Kuwait. Life expectancy: behind Cuba."
