Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th. 231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.
In the absence of any spine in taking on Israeli Gaza atrocities in most of our media, it is left to @PrivateEyeNews to reveal this sort of information that would once have received in depth coverage @BBCPanorama & Sunday Times Insight. Even now when the true scale of the Gaza Genocide is becoming widely recognised, @BBCNews and most newspapers shamefully recycle IDF propaganda without fact checking or critical investigation.
@NickBano @LRB Lovely to see this shout-out by @ACORNunion who feature heavily in the LRB piece Acorn is one of the most interesting, inspiring and dynamic grassroots political movements in the UK today - exposing power imbalances in our communities, and fighting back acorninternational.org/acorn-is-featu…
There are almost three million landlords in the UK - more than all of the NHS staff, care workers, and teachers combined. Landlordism is our national industry, and it is long overdue a reckoning. My review of @NickBano's 'Against Landlords', for the @LRB lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…
To kick off International Workers' Day, here's a thread of #MayDay posters from around the world. Let's start with a 1973 May Day poster from Czech artist František Kopenec.
Italy isn’t messing around
In 2020, there was one person worth over $100 billion. Today at the end of Biden's term there are 16 of them.
Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"
We are deeply relieved to hear the news that a ceasefire and hostage deal has been reached. We have watched with horror on our phones and our televisions as the destruction in Gaza unfolded for 16 months.
Today is Laila Soueif's 100th day on hunger strike. We have no idea how much longer she can survive Her son Alaa remains behind bars in Egypt, having already served out his unjust sentence, despite @DavidLammy's promise to do everything he can to bring him home @FreedomForAlaa
The great Brian Cox has a Christmas message to @Keir_Starmer about "the brilliant, courageous and inspiring writer," Alaa Abd el-Fattah. 'It’s time to make the call, Prime Minister. Pick up the phone and bring Alaa home for Christmas." #FreeAlaa
Naming Israel’s genocide goes beyond the fight to save Palestinian lives It’s about the shape of the moral universe we inhabit, and whether rights are bestowed by humanity or by those who have taken it upon themselves to decide who is human -@NesrineMalik theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
A beautiful vigil tonight for Alaa outside 10 Downing Street. Thank you to all the people that came out to support Alaa’s mother Laila on her 81st day of hunger strike and to call on @Keir_Starmer to Bring Alaa Home #FreeAlaa
Laila just popped by @DavidLammy’s Christmas drinks this evening to pass on the message that all we want for Christmas is a #FreeAlaa Having lost over 22kg, Laila’s body is now entering a dangerous new stage. Her life and Alaa's future are in David Lammy's hands.
Guardian & Observer journalists are striking today to help #SaveTheObserver. Please repost to show solidarity. More info here: nuj.org.uk/resource/not-f… theguardian.com/media/2024/dec…
@DavidLammy @FCDOGovUK Every day that Alaa continues to rot behind bars - and that his mother continues her desperate hunger strike - is another day that @DavidLammy will be held accountable for. Read @asoueif's moving account of what those days look like: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Trite repetitions of promises to 'raise this issue with the Egyptian authorities' won't cut it any more. @DavidLammy prominently campaigned for Alaa's freedom while in opposition and accused @FCDOGovUK of not using its leverage to make that happen. Now he runs the Foreign Office.
The ongoing plight of Alaa Abd el-Fattah - a British-Egyptian father, human rights activist, and political prisoner in Sisi's jails - is now not just a diplomatic embarrassment for the UK, but a matter of self-respect and personal integrity for @DavidLammy theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…
We call on the UK government to halt the issuing of arms licences to Egypt until British national, pro-democracy activist and writer Alaa Abd el-Fattah is released by the Egyptian authorities. @fairsqprojects caat.org.uk/news/press-rel…
Private developers can build as many blocks of unaffordable flats as they like - it won't solve the housing crisis, whatever this government claims Now renters across the UK are fighting back and demanding real housing justice - find out more @LDNRentersUnion #RentControlsNow
