Palestine solidarity protesters in London are laying flowers at the statue of Nelson Mandela, “in memory of all those murdered under apartheid and settler colonialism”.

Liverpool’s celebrated local museums pay so poorly that its workers go home to cold homes and empty cupboards. It’s no wonder they have gone on strike to demand the better wages they deserve.

I spoke to Cas and Matt PCS Liverpool Museums about the recent strike + crisis in the culture sector

NML PAY UP ✊🏼

Liverpool museum and gallery staff, members of PCS Union, will walk out for a further 30 days in their dispute over the unpaid cost-of-living payment.

Let’s be clear, this isn’t some pie in the sky request that’s unaffordable for NML.

This is a cost of living payment we fought for and won.

We lost pay to make these gains together.

It’s not a demand, it’s an entitlement.

Nye Bevan once said that the NHS would only survive for as long as people were willing to fight for it.

If we want to save the NHS, we must fight the calculated indifference of both Labour and the Tories.

This Tribune article provides a very telling and comprehensive analysis. It affirms my call for an independent review of the Labour Party's selection process.

A good day to read Owen Dowling on EP Thompson's struggle against 'the Beast' of Nato Tribune.

Thompson said early in the '50s that the labour movement's failure to confront Natoisation would destroy its potential. True then and now.

On this day in 1981, Brixton’s black community rose up against police discrimination and mass unemployment. It was a watershed moment in the fight against racist oppression that still lingers in British society. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/04/the-gr…

The Labour selections scandal has far-reaching consequences.

These stitch-ups are about Labour's elite insulating itself from democratic pressure, ensuring pliable MPs to vote through unpopular policies.

Nearly three weeks ago, The The Telegraph broke bombshell allegations of vote-rigging via #Anonyvoter in Labour's Parliamentary selections.

Since then, we've had zero investigations & zero answers.
