Seema Syeda

It takes time for people to get that we’re in the fascist timeline. Fascism is rooted in colonialism. We’ve seen it in Palestine & the imperial boomerang is bringing it to Europe. I spoke to BBC five live listeners to point out the danger, & that’s why @ukstoptrump.bsky.social is mobilising ✊🏽.

Join us on 29th October from 6.30 pm at Pelican House!

It's ON! Andy Burnham says the UK could go 'all the way' and we agree. Our NC member @seemasyeda.bsky.social spoke to Nick Campbell on BBC5 this morning. It makes sense - for the climate, for peace, for our rights, for the economy, let's get back in:

Andy Burnham is the only declared candidate to replace Starmer as Labour leader and UK Prime Minister. Will he bring more of the same? We wrote to him with our grave concerns about his positions on migration and foreign policy. Read our letter here. jcwi.org.uk/updates/jcwi...

This week on CounterPower, @seemasyeda.bsky.social joins me to interview Danièle Obono, La France Insoumise MP for Paris. We discuss France’s Left ahead of next year’s critical presidential election👇 m.youtube.com/watch?v=ID2s...

Seema Syeda from JCWI said: “The government’s border regime is pushing people into unsafe routes & criminalising people. The simple, moral answer is to allow people seeking safety to use the same routes as everyone else: train, ferry, plane. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It was great to meet @seemasyeda.bsky.social from @jcwi-uk.bsky.social to discuss about People movement & migration

Et la veille nous avons organisé la participation de Danièle au podcast Counter Power de @seemasyeda.bsky.social 👀

London, here we go⚡️ We are so thrilled to invite you for the UK launch of our internationalist manifesto “Revolutions of our Times” on Thursday, April 16 2026 at 6 PM at Pelican House, London. Registration link in bio 👆 Don’t miss it if you are around🔥 @haymarketbooks.org

Our @seemasyeda.bsky.social speaks out in the Morning Star against the government’s unjust, racist and classist attacks on migrants and refugees, calling on MPs to stand up and reverse these inhumane policies.

Our @seemasyeda.bsky.social speaks out against how this government is using performative cruelty to legitimise violence against migrants and people of colour. Join your local raid group and resist these racist raids. Read the full report 👇 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We are here, because you were there. Shabana Mahmood’s racist and classist ‘earned settlement’ proposals must be scrapped. 🧵[1/4]

American imperialism won’t bring ‘democracy’ - in fact it’s historically been the opposite. Real democracy happens when the people revolt from below and take control of their resources. Me on @lbc.co.uk for @ukstoptrump.bsky.social this morning.

The UK government arms and morally supports the Zionist regime. It is complicit in this war. #Iran

GREEN WIN at Gorton & Denton shows that a politics of hope, antiracism, Palestine solidarity & going for the billionaires can win, and win MASSIVELY. But elections alone won’t save us. We need to be ready to resist the violent state forces controlled by a corrupt antidemocratic billionaire class.

The new Counter Power podcast is out. I’m with @seemasyeda.bsky.social and @lukecooper100.bsky.social discussing how the far right has transformed and become a global force… and how we fight it 👇 m.youtube.com/watch?v=C112...

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today. Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

Billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money is being wasted on border controls, the detention estate, and shitty asylum ‘accommodation’ aka prisons that isolate people seeking safety from communities. All that money could be spent on good, cheap social housing for EVERYONE.

So Elon Musk asked Jeffrey Epstein “Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year …”. Working right on across the edge, he then became obsessed with the idea that only Muslim men in the UK operate child grooming gangs www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

So honoured to support the amazing team @jcwi-uk.bsky.social in this important work. The struggle carries on for liberation and the dismantling of colonial border regimes ✊🏽

🎉Our client has won! In a landmark case, he is the first Palestinian born in Israeli-occupied Palestine to be granted asylum in Britain, despite sinister ministerial intervention. 🧵[1/5] www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Colonialism is crisis. It’s time for global movements around the world to rise up against extractive corporations driving war and militarism. #venezuela

The people have risen up to rid Minneapolis of ICE agent killers. Governments and police don’t keep us safe. We keep us safe. This is how we build resistance.

The stupidity of decades of UK defence policy remaining dependent on America is now unveiling itself. You gonna fight Trump’s annexation of Greenland with defence infrastructure dependent on US supply chains? Pfft.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Empire. Unmasked. Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Vietnam, Algeria, Venezuela. ‘National’ sovereignty doesn’t protect anyone from the imperialist logics of capital.

From Sudan to Gaza, genocide and war show the human rights framework is already woefully inadequate. Yet this government is organising transnationally to undermine it further, using migrants as scapegoats. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

📣 THIS FRIDAY, JOIN THE FIGHTBACK Our AGM takes place online and in London from 5-8pm on 12 December. With an exciting array of speakers from Black Lives Matter to UNISON union, we'll strategise how we resist in 2026. Join as a member to attend👇 jcwi.org.uk/updates/annu...

Migrants must have no debt??? The whole country is based on debt. That’s what Britain sells to the world. It makes our elite wealthy. But of course, their victims just deserve ever more punishment.

I’m on Islam Channel’s ‘THE DEBATE’ at 9pm tonight - discussing Shabana Mahmood’s draconian asylum plans. Tune in online or on Sky 736, Freeview 264 or Virgin 838!

The government is not even trying to hide its far-right turn. Yesterday’s asylum changes show it clearly. We will keep resisting the scapegoating of migrants, and we will always stand by one another.

The Home Secretary's asylum policy announcement is brutal and inhumane, as our Advocacy Director @seemasyeda.bsky.social told LBC News this morning. Labour is implementing the slide to fascism. We call on all social movement forces to unite and resist. youtu.be/CLncDcrn-P4

Our comment on this horrifying case is featured in @theleaduk.bsky.social. Thanks @lukebeardsworth.bsky.social for reporting on this story. The government must stop wasting billions of pounds of taxpayer money enriching private corporations like Serco & create safe, permanent housing for everyone.

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @owensennitt.bsky.social

“pain and injustice” lol yes just that

Pissed off GB News. Must be doing something right 🙌🏾

My comment? I'm proud of Green councillors who are doing everything they can to bring attention to stopping the genocide. www.thejc.com/news/uk/hack...

The EU’s 2014 ‘Khartoum Process’ of border externalisation channeled €4.5 billion to African states, some of which ended up in the hands of the Rapid Support Forces, now inflicting famine & gen*cide in #Sudan. Find out more and support solidarity groups👇

‘They didn’t leave Labour - Labour left them!’ Zack Polanski’s comms is just so good.

Y’all, a friend of mine helped create the Free Sudan Gazette and I highly recommend checking it out freesudangazette.com/2025/10/21/s...

Israel is committing war crimes daily. It’s illegal, apartheid occupation continues. But because 20 rather than 100 people a day are being murdered, the EU stops pretending that it *might* do something. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Johnny L’Anson asks whether Trump’s ceasefire deal for Gaza builds momentum for a peace deal in Ukraine. Our campaigner @seemasyeda.bsky.social thinks not. Interview from BBC 5 Live Lates on Friday 17 October.

Listening to this now and love the ‘occlusion of the future’ discussion.

Watch all the way to the end.

Checking out @nogamesforgenocide.com at The World Transformed. Did you know that playing Xbox, Candy Crush and Call of Duty, all owned by Microsoft, helps fund Israeli apartheid and genocide? See how you can stop this complicity on nogamesforgenocide.com

📢 Join us this Fri 10 Oct at TWT in Manchester! We'll be joined by activists and researchers from India and Latin America to understand how trade is used as a weapon of empire - and what we can do to build democratic digital sovereignty for the masses. theworldtransformed.org/twt25/twt25p...
