In 2021 I wrote two short articles summarising a #socialist view of the world - why #workers should oppose #capitalism and fight to replace it with a new society, #socialism. Have a read.

The AfD’s win in Saxony-Anhalt is a crisis for German politics, but its effects will ripple across Europe. They indicate the real potential of a National Rally victory in next year’s French presidential election.
But it matters directly for British politics, too 🧵 1/16
Mohan Bhagwat, the leader of India's Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh - described as the core of "the largest far-right network in history" - is visiting the UK right now. Please do what you can to protest. More facts and links to the political background here.

A call for much more Green Party agitation and campaigning against datacentres, referencing the US ferment over it and some of the issues and struggle here.
Apologies for anything I've garbled, I'm far from an expert!

Another blow to the royals' image as socially and environmentally responsible. Another reason the Duchies of Cornwall & Lancaster need abolishing! republic.org.uk/duchies
Today is the 50th anniversary of the start of the very important #Grunwick strike (1976-8). I strongly recommend the book 'Striking Women' by Sundari Anitha and Ruth Pearson - about both Grunwick and the later Gate Gourmet dispute - which is reviewed here. southlondonsocialist.wordpre…

When have you ever seen a Shell or BP executive hounded by the press the way Jason Arday was? When has the name of the CEO of BAE Systems been smeared across the front page of the Daily Mail?

I’ll keep pushing Sadiq Khan.
Hopefully he’ll keep pushing Andy Burnham.
But frankly, we’re about to have another heatwave, it’s ridiculous we’re still having this conversation.
Stop Rosebank & Jackdaw.
Leave fossil fuels in the ground.
Invest in renewables.
Lower bills.

Tax the fossil fuel giants.
Support our Fire Brigades.

In the last 48 hours, we've seen major wildfires in Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, South Wales, and Suffolk.
This is not bad luck. This is climate change, and firefighters are on the frontline.

An open latter to Diane Abbott MP
By Sacha Ismail and Christopher Ford
Dear Diane,
As socialist labour movement activists, we were very concerned to learn that you described Russia’s war on Ukraine as “the NATO campaign against Russia”.
