This month I visited St. Anne’s Church, a beautiful Hawksmoor-designed building from 1700s. Alongside an exhibition showcasing its journey surviving fires & providing shelter during the World Wars, I learnt about the campaign for restoration and community accessibility.

Today in 1936, the British Union of Fascists led by Oswald Mosely tried to march through the largely Jewish East End of London. They were met with around 20,000 people — Jewish, Irish & working-class — in what is now known as the Battle of Cable Street.

Millions of lives are at risk in the Middle East and those who survive cannot wait any longer for the violence to end. Governments and world leaders must step up all efforts towards de-escalation. Stop supporting and enabling war crime after war crime. Ceasefire, now!

Incredibly powerful yet devastating testimony from Julian Assange at Council of Europe today. I believe he must be pardoned by the US & that we must all redouble our efforts to defend press freedom globally and hold power to account. Full testimony:

Socialists have always had to fight to do what those in power tell us is unthinkable and unattainable. But as Mandela had said, it’s only impossible until it’s done! Proud to address @CardiffTWT on defeating the politics of fear & despair through hope, socialism and solidarity.

IDF spokesman said the strikes in the Lebanese capital Beirut were targeting Hezbollah’s ‘central headquarters’. The strike appears to be in Dahiyeh right on the doorstep of a sprawling Palestinian refugee camp which is home to about 25,000 people

The UK has not stopped arming Israel as Israeli forces escalate action in Lebanon & refuse to ceasefire, extending the suffering of innocents. The global call of humanity to end this violence will continue to stand firm against this dangerous escalation, and the UK’s complicity.

Parks are spaces of social change that can contribute to a positive sense of neighbourhood & proactively tackling climate change. I recently visited & spoke with groups at Tower Hamlets Cemetary Park and learnt about the challenges faced in both protecting & sharing the space 🌱
