Hilarious to hear this from Keir Starmer just days after @AsaWinstanley had his house raided by counter-terrorism police for his reporting on Israel

It's taken me ages to write this, and it might just be a massive ramble, but here are my thoughts on the racist violence last month and the response in Bristol https://t.co/wOwjnVJkGK

My latest for @TheBristolCable - I spoke to trade unionists and activists to see how the labour movement in the South West is responding to the far right, and what it needs to do better

The first in a series of pieces I'm writing for @TheBristolCable on work, union organising, strikes and alternative workplace models. Have a read below 👇🏽
✏️ Union members at the east Bristol secondary school have achieved most of a series of asks from the academy trust that manages it, after announcing rolling walkouts. Workers say the action has brought staff together. Story by @Limbonaut84

I started a Substack recently - a space for me to explore some themes that are a bit different from my other journalism work. Last week I visited #Stonehenge for the first time, and reflected on the pull of ancient monuments in troubled times. https://t.co/arJxUg31EU

🇵🇸 Today the Cable stands in solidarity with Palestinians as they mark 76 years of the Nakba, to draw attention to the historical injustice of the Israeli occupation, and condemn the devastating war on Gaza that continues to the present day. (1/5)

Great podcast on the 'outside agitator' trope being used to smear the campus protesters, and how this has been used against anti-racism struggles in the past https://t.co/hqzRA1dxzC

As protests continue to rock the campuses of colleges and universities, a familiar set of questions is being raised: Are these protests really being led by students? Or are the real drivers of the...

It's World Press Freedom Day. And nobody deserves our respect, solidarity and admiration today more than the brave and determined journalists of Gaza. We would be blind without them and they are the best of us.

Pleased to share my recent piece for @CrackMagazine. In March I spoke to Neo Sora (@nope_sooope) about how he made the final film about his father, Ryuichi Sakamoto. https://t.co/2FxLnGhsFT

Japanese director Neo Sora’s film of his father’s final concert is a profound examination of artistic curiosity and human resilience.

#Arnolfini finally issues an apology for silencing Palestinian voices during last December's Bristol Palestine Film Festival.
Boycott called off as Bristol’s Arnolfini apologises for anti-Palestinian censorship Arnolfini apologised “without reservation” for cancelling Palestinian events amid “ongoing devastation and loss of life in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Israel” https://t.co/C1a2uxVIJR

I finished reading #Palestine +100 recently (only Palestinian sci-fi anthology I know of) and... well you should read it. Very scary to read stories that were published 5 years ago that predict what's happening in Gaza right now...

Absolutely phenomenal set from the @thebugzoo at @strangebrewbriz the other night. It was so loud at one point I thought my skin was going to melt. The sound, the lights, the selection were all impeccable. One of the most impressive sound systems I've heard in a long time 🔥
@thebugzoo You absolutely killed it last night man. Just so immersive and physical. Loved the level of concentration you had too, always in full control with no quarter given. Pure class. Would still love to talk to you on @WhatGoesPod It would be great to talk about how you got this deep!
