If you want to understand the UK media, it’s simple:
The corporate press is the mouthpiece of capital.
The BBC is the mouthpiece of the government.
The government? That’s the mouthpiece of capital.

Or it reflects the true number of Labour members, a number the party now do not disclose publicly.

Had a great night at Sync-Pulse 19 at The Rose Hill, Brighton. Ian Helliwell presented a selection of films, including his own (self scored using ‘Helli-Machines’) about railways. from old Pathe reels to a beautiful 1964 short by Mamoun Hassan - The Meeting. What a treat!

A man stands in front of a plain red lit background. He has sound waves projected on his face and body. He is holding a microphone and is looking to the right.

It wasn't anti-white to support boycotting South African teams under apartheid.

It's not Russophobia to support boycotting Russian teams after the invasion of Ukraine.

And it's not antisemitism to support boycotting Israeli teams after a genocide.

I've about as much sympathy for them as I have for heroin dealers.

Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax

The company's co-founder says it would be forced to close all its sites, putting 7,500 jobs at risk, if gambling taxes go up.

I feel like there’s probably a good documentary in the question “How come the Labour Party went from egalitarianism to vicious crackdowns, cheek-by-jowl with some of Britain’s most appalling crackpot racists and fascist genocide enthusiasts”. Quite a strange thing to have happened.
