“Giving children their childhood back?”
So reopening the 2,000 youth clubs closed under neoliberalism? The 1,000 children’s centres?
Recreating the 10,000 + playing fields lost?
Or the 800 playgrounds lost in the last 10 years?
The 1,000 libraries?
The after-school clubs closed?
that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
why the hell is the Met Commissioner allowed to do the talk show rounds denouncing his boss lol. Basic norms of governance just collapsing in real time
I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.
This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk.
People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already.
A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government.
i’ve been fighting the far right for a decade plus. i never would’ve imagined a labor govt would ban me from entering the uk. dark times ahead for the west. liberalism is dead, maga fascism and it’s corrosive influence is felt everywhere.
Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
