As Egypt hosts the world at next month, some 60,000 Egyptian activists will be suffering in prison. We cannot be silent about this. Fighting the climate crisis can never be separated from struggles for human rights, justice, and democracy.

"Braverman says she quit after sending an official document from her personal email, a breach of ministerial rules"

Suddenly they're for following the ministerial rules? After the last few years of ripping them to shreds? What?

Later in the same article:

Today *unity* with the opportunists actually means subordinating the working class to their 'own' national bourgeoisie, and an alliance with the latter for the purpose of oppressing other nations and of fighting for dominant nation privileges; it means *splitting* the revolutionary proletariat of all countries.

Nothing has changed, has it?

Our news come to us WITH NO CONTEXT
How, for EXAMPLE, are our problems now linked to
1 Thatcher's neoliberal revolution
2 Banking Crash of 2008
3 Austerity after 2010
AS WELL AS the "mini-budget"?

News is reduced to breathless soundbites, not least about individual politicians

The Public Order Bill has passed its first hurdle.

This includes banning protests, electronic tagging and increased powers of stop and search.

We must resist ✊

This is why I don't share petitions. They had their day back in the 17th century, they have no value in the 21st century (other than data capture for mailing lists etc). People create and share them because it's what they've always done. Time to think of alternatives. twitter.com/ShoaibMKhan/status

@nscscience @GeorgeMonbiot Already did, now they're trying to secure permanent minority rule. The worst bit is that even if we get a Labour government in at the next election, they're extremely unlikely to repeal any of this.

@Ed_Miliband Is this a 'Pledge' of the kind that you actually follow up on, or the usual kind?

Are you sure it's a good idea starting a war with the country that produces all our consumer goods? 🤔

@Socialdemmo The stock market is a Ponzi scheme in every sense of the word. The richest most powerful entity that creates absolutely nothing. To bring any sanity in the world it should be gradually dismantled. We shouldn't be indebted with Fiat money we can create money through the Treasury.
