Over 86 Palestinian footballers have been killed, stadiums have been used by Israeli forces as concentration camps For @jacobin I wrote about how football has been a target but also a site of resistance in Palestine

Israel’s bloody attack on Gaza has been unsparing and unceasing. It hasn’t stopped the Palestine Football Association from playing soccer.

Bosses at @theRSAorg have decided that they prefer to drag the charity’s name, and their own professional reputations, through the mud rather than treat their staff with respect. It’s disgraceful and it has to end.

Andy Haldane should rightfully be called out for his anti-union, law breaking behaviour whenever he tries to dismiss and undermine our dispute in the media. Solidarity @johnmcdonnellMP.

Great piece by @neill_bob in @politicshome on the imprisonment of pregnant women & our campaign to end custodial sentences! “I believe we now have the opportunity to take steps in this direction on a cross-party basis” #NoBirthsBehindBars

Last night, Andy Haldane was confronted at an @TheRSAOrg event. Frustrated with senior management’s failure to engage with the @RsaUnion, supporters of the workers’ campaign took it upon themselves to spotlight Andy’s shameful behaviour where it couldn’t be ignored.
