A community arts centre, staging events and performances for ordinary people, in an ordinary Yorkshire town. Doesn't seem much to ask for, does it? My Bluesky friends, could you please repost Reece's message below, to bring this to as many people's attention as possible? Thanks 👍

If you’re between 16 & 55 then you may well be eligible to join the @AnthonyNolan or @DKMS_uk stem cell registers. Odds are, you’ll never be a match, but just imagine if you were 😍 You could help save a life by doing very little tbh. We’d love everyone to RT to spread the word

This week's post: Racism and xenophobia are not 'legitimate concerns' mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/09/raci... The encouragement of violence against opponents by senior Reform politicians suggests they have the potential to become a fascist party. Perhaps we should call Reform proto-fascists.

Grateful to Zeteo UK, which launches properly next month, for lifting the paywall on this piece at my request. Please do consider subscribing! In this piece, I suggest that the Cambridge Genome Campus is too WOKE. 😅😅😅 zeteo.uk/p/the-jason-...

zeteo.ukThe Jason Arday Affair and the 'Oprahfication' of AntiracismCulture warriors blame 'woke' Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policies for the scandal surrounding the Cambridge professor. The real problem is that EDI has been rendered symbolic and superficial.

This is actually a terrifying story. But it's becoming clearer who is pushing the agenda of white supremacism in Britain. The same lobbies that gave us the catastrophe of a hard Brexit.

lmao if your reaction to the prime minister committing to abolishing rough sleeping is "this won't play with the median voter" then you really have drowned in the cult of savviness

Luke Tryl@luketryl.bsky.social

Seen a few people saying rough sleeping policy isn’t aimed at median public concern. Quite apart from any policy/moral imperative it really is - rough sleeping comes up time again in focus groups as one of the most visible signs of Broken Britain and community decline!

A stem cell transplant can be a bit like a Semi Final. My recipient described it as “Last chance saloon” when we met in 2011. Thankfully, some tiny inconvenience on my part, led to him making a full recovery, and he’s now almost 18 years post transplant. #England  #WorldCup

A timely reminder Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

The thing is, Mamdani's position is the only correct position for anyone who truly believes in the universality of human rights, not to mention the best framework for a durable peace. And people keep asking him like he's some sort of freak for holding it. And he keeps answering. Good for him.

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year. His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.

If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.

Rep. Omar reacts to the return to duty of the ICE agent involved in the killing of Renee Nicole Good. Omar: It's really, really heartbreaking that we can't get accountability and justice for the murder of Renee Good. I do hope something shifts and that we are able to get accountability for this.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

Whatever your politics this is a campaign that we all need to support. It’s heartbreaking and desperately urgent for the women involved. If you share one thing today please make it this🙏

Enhertu is giving women more time in Scotland and around the world. But NICE denied it in England, Wales & NI, saying we’re not “cost effective.” We’ve lost friends waiting. As of April 2026, the money is now there. We need to drug companies to resubmit Enhertu immediately. #metastaticbreastcancer

Good explanation from @stellacreasy.bsky.social of my analysis of the government/MAC's own data on the fiscal impacts of recent immigration, as featured in today's Guardian.

Stella Creasy MP@stellacreasy.bsky.social

Immigration enriches our society and benefits our economy. Changing settlement rules will have financial consequences for us all - this video explains why and how. If truth matters to you when it comes to immigration pass it on. All data quoted in this video from Migration Advisory Committee.
