👏 FULL PROGRAMME RELEASE 👏
We are extremely excited to announce or full programme for this years festival, which will kick off in 2 weeks!!!
We'll have sessions covering a whole range of socialist topics, always with an aim of how can we organise to win. Covering party politics with the Greens and Your Party, fighting far right extremism locally & globally and looking at the state of Trade Union organising 100 years on from the General Strike. And be sure to make our closing session, where we will confront the biggest issue of our time, rising imperialism. We'll discuss how we can and must organise against it as socialists and how YOU can do it - for a liberated Palestine, Iran and and for the whole international working class ✊️ 🇵🇸 ⚒️
We'll be joined by a whole range of organisers - rank-and-file trade unionists, authors, academics, and leading activists in their fields - as well as organisations from up and down the country including: Palestine Youth Movement (@pymbritain), Greens Organise (@greensorganise), The Bristol Cable (@thebristolcable), Bristol Apartheid-Free Zone (@bristolafz), Workers For a Free Palestine (@workers4pal), Iskra Books (@read_iskrabooks), local union branches, and many more!
All of this comes with not only FREE CHILDCARE ALL DAY for the mini-Marxists out there (all ages welcome!), but for the first time this year a full youth programme aimed at 11-16 year olds interested in left wing and socialist politics. 16s and under all get in free for the festival (but still need to "buy" a ticket on headfirst!)
As well as hours of amazing educational content, we've got great evening entertainment lined up. We'll be kicking off on the Friday night with socialist Shark Tank (i.e. Marx Tank) and on Saturday we have a whole evening of entertainment lined up - a pub quiz, sea shanties workshop, bands, and DJ's late into the night.

Pressure is growing. But there is so much work still to be done.
Join us at TWT25 to strategise on how to build effective ongoing solidarity with Palestinians, reinvigorate internationalism, and build stronger anti-colonial and anti-imperialist politics across our movement.
🇵🇸PALESTINE SPOTLIGHT at TWT25
At TWT25 we’re proud to be hosting a Palestine stream in our programme, featuring a range of palestinian-led and solidarity organisations fighting from below for an arms embargo on Israel and a liberated Palestine from the river to the sea.
More than 50 groups from across the movement will gather at TWT25 to debate and shape the future of left strategy.
This collective work is urgent - and you need to be a part of it.

And read the callout below ⬇️ 🧵
WFFP is incredibly grateful for the solidarity we have been shown. We commit to redistributing unused donations to other legal fundraisers within the movement.
Our demand remains an complete arms embargo against Israel and an end to British complicity with the Zionist entity.
On 24 July 2024, police violently arrested nine people at a WFFP protest outside the FCDO denouncing the British govt’s collusion with Israel.
More than a year later, four of them were acquitted. On 13 August, the remaining five were informed all charges had been dropped.
“Whilst our acquittal can feel like a rare or small victory, it is proof that these oppressors are not ubiquitous or impenetrable. That we can and will win. We must continue to turn up again and again for a liberated Palestine. We are not free until we are all free.” - M, WFFP 9
Join WFFP for an evening of live music, dancing and solidarity on August 8! All ticket sales support legal fees for our comrades arrested while protesting arms sales to Israel.

See you there! ✌️
I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension.
If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.
While the British state throws its full weight behind Israel's genocide of Palestinians, it is our duty as workers to organise and enforce an arms embargo from below.
We call on all union branches to sign this petition: https://t.co/Gl6EWyhAQM
Workers for a Free Palestine, the
@palyouthmvmt, and @ProgIntl have released a report today revealing that the UK has sent more than 160,000 munitions to Israel since October 2023.
Read the full report here:

The report proves that ministers have misled the public and parliament, and that the UK is not upholding its obligations under international law.
Join us in central London at 18:00 BST on Friday, May 9 to demand that the UK immediately end all arms exports to Israel.
The government is yet to respond to our call for a public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war on Gaza.
This shocking report by @ProgIntl, @palyouthmvmt & @Workers4Pal could explain why.
When will the government come clean about the reality of arms exports to Israel?
