On this day 70 years ago, Elizabeth became Queen while visiting her colonial subjects in Kenya. It was also around this time that the Mau Mau uprising against colonial rule began, to which Her Majesty’s government unleashed a campaign of pure savagery to crush the rebellion.

I'm deeply concerned that some children are attending political protests during the school day. Even more so if they're taking part in, or being exposed to, antisemitic chants. This should be treated with the utmost seriousness - missing school for activism is unacceptable.

Very alarming to see the BBC insisting “diplomacy is dead” and essentially arguing for war as the only option. Well done to @JessicaLBarnard of @YoungLabourUK for articulating the case against war very well. @STWuk #Russia #Ukraine

In 2016 when the Labour right launched the chicken coup, Jon Lansman was asked if Momentum would call a protest/rally to defend Corbyn. He refused. Only when movement orgs told him they’d call a protest in Parliament Sq did he rush to call it before them.

The UK is preparing to undemocratically launch a military assault on Yemen, yet another Middle Eastern country, in order to defend Israel’s ability to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Let that sink in.

Huge rally for Palestine with hundreds of people in Leeds this evening. Everyone here said they’re going to the 13 Jan national demo in London. As long as the bombs keep falling and the occupation continues, we won’t stop organising and fighting for Palestine #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

We bloody did it! For the first time ever, yesterday an Amazon warehouse was completely shut down - on orders from HQ in the US - with full pay to all the workers! The bravery and courage of the Amazon strikers and the mass solidarity from across the labour movement achieved this

Since she’s left Labour, @lucianaberger hasn’t been able to name a policy she backs, but her past voting record - shared by the other Labour splitters - paints a clear picture of supporting war and austerity. This is what she stands for. #ByElectionNow

For god’s sake, stop talking about we need unity to oppose the Tories. How much opposing the Tories was Starmer doing in the months before the EHRC report? Precisely zero. This isn’t an issue of disunity, it’s Labour moving rightwards and attacking the left. Get a grip.

The BBC being unusually honest that Hamas has been offering a ceasefire and Israel is rejecting it so that it can keep bombing Gaza - with the full support of Biden. It also makes patently clear the significant role of international solidarity in stopping the massacre.

Luciana Berger faced antisemitic attacks - from the far right *outside* the Labour Party. She left the party because she’s a Blairite and an opportunist. This revisionism is disgusting to watch.
