    Come on in, it’s what you’ve been dreaming of…?

    It sets off as a second person narrative, and doesn’t give you a name. He’s wading through a typical day which may or may not be the same as yours, but you’ll relate to the wading. And then something weird happens. I think everyone from H G Wells to David Nobbs has written this story […]

  • Model response to a dilemma for women in the left-right storm

    Model response to a dilemma for women in the left-right storm

    It’s been hard going for women’s sex-based rights campaigners, slandered and misunderstood at every step, and – because women’s rights are a matter of direct concern to over half the population of the planet, a campaign that reaches across every divide – of politics, of nationality, language, culture and class. It’s no surprise then, that […]

    The RMT cleaners’ dispute has gone national!

    This is really good news for ALL of us. Read on to find out why… It’s not easy to find the determination to turn up and stand on a picket line in the rain, especially right after Christmas but the RMT train cleaners managed it up and down the country today, as their part in […]

  • Why lefties need a big book about anti-Semitism

    Why lefties need a big book about anti-Semitism

    this book is a valuable, unique reference book – Moshé Machover I’m not Jewish, and until I joined the Labour Party, I was for the most part unaware which of the people around me were Jewish. By contrast, I found out which of my new Labour Party associates were Jewish very quickly, mostly when they […]

    Unfiltered indeed

    #chillaxing with my faves @HolisticHazel and @PollysFewBits #MamasNightOut #MamasOnTheLoose #partay #besties Er…. okay. This article will eventually be a piece about Unfiltered by Sophie White, but first I’d like to explain how I became cool by sheer negligence. Yep – it’s true – your friendly neighbourhood pavement-pounding blogger does not have a SMARTphone (I only […]

    What do words mean? A prediction, and a scrap of advice for 2023

    2023 will be a year to choose your words carefully and stand by them, and it will be a year in which doing so may cause your opponents to froth at the mouth. It may also result in your being arrested, and actually charged, for uttering illegal words. These days, I have a slight nag […]

    NHS Crisis: let’s take action

    When I wrote up this week’s day of action for our NHS emergency response staff, I wrote it up with the title This Is An Emergency… We were going to gather again on the 28th for a second day of action, but the NHS unions have cancelled it, saying the NHS is in crisis, and […]

  • The “no debate” debate

    The “no debate” debate

    I thought I’d wave goodbye to 2022 with an appeal for a re-discovery of the ability to disagree without dying. I am the proud owner of a review copy of Tony Greenstein’s Zionism During the Holocaust. I’ve read quite a bit of it, and when I’ve finished, I’ll be doing a proper review but today, […]

  • This is an emergency

    This is an emergency

    “You know something is broken when you see emergency response workers on a picket line,” says the FBU rep. In fact, this was a picket line like no other I’ve seen. Despite suffering both service funding cuts and pay degradation, despite being maligned by politicians from both the major political parties, Hastings’ emergency response crews […]

  • The Ghost of Christmas Rational

    The Ghost of Christmas Rational

    They have called us everything under the sun. They have run to the bosses with slanders and tried to push us out of work, out of our unions and out of politics. They have called our campaign “transphobic”, and way too many commentators have called the clash between our women’s rights campaign and their #NoDebate […]
