"These strikes are political" - has been used by MPs & journalists to attack any & ALL strikes since forever. It's a linguistic distortion. The word 'political' is used deliberately & dishonestly to imply subversion, malevolence & by extension, a lack of legitimacy. It's a trick! https://twitter.com/DCBMEP/status/1566025864902590464

Wes Streeting still advocates using the private sector to cut NHS waiting lists despite a report by the Health and Social Care Committee stating it is "totally or mostly" impossible to do so with current staffing levels.

It's ideology, not pragmatism.

The @UKLabour right know that they enabled the tories in two GEs, they're panicking now that the left cannot support them and no sign that tories are switching their votes. The tide is turning as the middle class become poorer. The left must support a union led drive to lead us.

Lots of attention on leakages of water.

Little on electricity leakages, companies invest little in infrastructure.

In 2021, electricity leakage losses were 26,305 GWh, adding £100+ to bills.

Lost electricity enough to power 6.8m electric vehicles,

Govt/Ofgem doing nothing.

Brexit campaigners and the Prime Minister repeatedly denied that leaving the EU would be used as a means to strip workers of their rights, and attacked anyone who suggested otherwise.

It turns out that doing just that is now one of the government's number one priorities.

This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White Knights of Labor members destroy Chinese community in Rock Springs, Wyoming, killing at least 28 Chinese in order to make the mines lily white. Let's talk about another incident where white solidarity trumped class solidarity!

This Day in Labor History: September 3, 1991. A chicken factory in Hamlet, North Carolina caught of fire thanks to nonexistent safety procedures, killing 25 workers and injuring another 55. Let's talk about this horrible, preventable disaster and why it matters today!

Ecocide will continue as long as ecocide is profitable. No possible iteration of capitalism can address this problem. This, in and of itself, is a sufficiently strong argument that capitalism must be abandoned.

In January this year, Deborah Turness was appointed CEO of @BBCNews. What most people are unaware of - either by accident or design - is that she is married to little-known John Toker - the UK Govt Cabinet Office's Director of Communications for Security & Intelligence.

My elders grew up at a time when there were certain roads you couldn't walk through because you'd get your head kicked in by racist thugs. They organised to physically defend our communities from racist attacks. It's not a sub-genre of academia for us- it's our lived experience.

This editorial was written by the Campaign Against Racism & Fascism (CARF) IN 1992. Based on decades of experiences accrued in necessarily autonomous antiracist struggle. After needing to leave existing antifascist groups. "The left" in Britain *refuses* to learn. https://twitter.com/ChardineTaylor/status/1565647438790246400
