When Israel invites Tommy Robinson as an honoured guest; when the Jewish Chronicle invites Nigel Farage to write about October 7; when Starmer labels protesters for justice in Palestine as "un-British"... you know where you need to be this Saturday! Join us in the Jewish Bloc on the Palestine demo!

Oh the world will grow more beautiful
Love greater, hatred smaller
Between women, between men
Between nation and nation
Oh the world will grow freer
Freer more beautiful…
And there will be no masters
Not the crown, not wealth
Not the soldier’s sword…

All out tomorrow against Trump and Trumpism. Why is the Labour govt normalising this fascist who is terrorising migrant and refugee communities in the US, fuelling and encouraging a genocide in Gaza and threatening humanity globally. Time to unite and fight back. Join the march+rally tomorrow!

Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · 25d

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

You didn’t see that because those Jewish bodies separate antisemitism from other racism. You can’t - it is one fight against all racism and all fascism, everywhere. Join the JSG and Jewish bloc tomorrow on the anti Trump demo assembling 2pm in Portland Place, marching to Parliament Square.2/2

Did you see the statements by Board of Deps, Chief Rabbi, CAA et al condemning the visit today by America’s top fascist, Donald Trump, or Tommy Robinson telling 150,000+ far right supporters that there’s an orchestrated migrant invasion of Europe? Me neither. 1/2

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

The BBC’s abject reporting of small-boats arrivals - bare numbers with no explanation or context - is a primary reason why we’re in the dire position we are, so I guess it’s too much to expect them to change approach amid the rise of NF-style racism, let alone draw a connection between the 2 things

More than 400 migrants brought to shore at Dover

The Home Office says 435 migrants in seven boats arrived in Dover on Saturday.
