So, the new album from @WilliamDDrake is bloody gorgeous. By turns melancholy, pastoral and utterly joyous. There's that core of wistful Englishness that he captures with such sublimity but adorned with a multitude of influences in flawless balance -- and all rendered with filigree layers of sonic loveliness by Drake and band.

Margaret Owen OBE, 94, was arrested again following her participation in a Defend Our Juries protest outside the US Embassy in London.
This is what a terrorist looks like in the UK today This is due to @Keir_Starmer @andyburnham @YvetteCooperMP @ShabanaMahmood - all Labour Friends of Apartheid Israel

Drop bombs on buildings full of children and the UK will call you an ally. Express support for activists who try to stop those bombs and the UK will call you a terrorist.
BREAKING: BLANKET ARRESTS BEGIN OUTSIDE US EMBASSY The Met Police began making arrests before any signs were on display, arresting volunteers like this woman for supporting people holding signs, and arresting people for having blank placards.

Listen to the people of France cheer as the American flag and Israeli flag are set on fire. The people of the world are waking up to the horrors of U.S. imperialism and Israeli genocide. Happy Halloween!

The police are just about to start arresting peace-loving people of conscience outside the US embassy in London for opposing the proscription of Palestine Action. The farce created by the Labour Party to deflect from their complicity in genocide continues.

The Met Police are saying anyone giving logistical support at tomorrow’s Palestine Action protest risks being arrested. These peaceful protests involve elderly people sitting for hours in the cold, so people are needed to give out water, sustenance, and blankets. Disgusting 😡

Hasan Piker banned from entering Britain. Sally Rooney unable to sell her books here. Now Andreas Malm barred from the country. All for speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. This is Andy Burnham’s Britain. An authoritarian Labour government that continues to arm a genocide while criminalising those who dare to oppose it. Shame on them all.

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

Andreas Malm is one of the world’s leading Marxist thinkers Labour has just banned him from entering UK to speak at Tribune launch party in London next week Starmerism never ended. Andy Burnham continues to dismantle our freedoms to protect the genocidal Zionist entity. Shame

Replying to @AssalRad
The West Bank is not a suburb of Tel Aviv. Its occupation is unlawful: Israeli soldiers must leave (ICJ 2024). By omitting context/legal frameworks media like @nytimes have contributed to the “humanitarian camouflage” that frames Israel's crimes as proportionate hence acceptable

It's possible that in the span of one week, Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, Netanyahu loses in Israel, and Republicans lose the house and senate. Here's hoping fascism loses everywhere.

I’m not quite sure how to process the fact that the UK government is now more alarmist than me, a noted conspiracy theorist. Thoughts & prayers to Andrew Neil in these confusing times. broligarchy.substack.com/p/t…

The French are decades ahead of Americans when it comes to politics: “It started with the student revolt, but it concerns the entire society. We are fighting against the government, against war, and against capitalism. The entire society needs to change.”
Macron’s regime telling the French they can’t protest backfired spectacularly. According to France’s CGT trade union nearly 800,000 people are protesting today. Vive la révolution!

Greens +2 Anti-Zionism is not only the baseline moral position. It is also strategic Look what happened to Ed Sheeran when he did what the Israel lobby told him The world has changed. Don’t go by mainstream media. Hold the line

The Green Party has seen its support increase in this latest poll. This comes despite relentless smears, and a wholly unjustified 'Burnham bounce' from a man barely distinguishable from Sir Keir Starmer.
**NEWEST POLL** Greens: +2
