check out my weird tale of queer antifascist organising in Leicester. It was 22 years ago, but I think there are some lessons in here for today. Thanks @bencsmoke for helping me share my story

Absolutely devastated to read that Labour MPs are now being given three line whip to abstain on tonight's second reading of the immigration bill. This is a complete betrayal of migrant workers and our Labour values of internationalism and solidarity.

There is no space in Leicester for the far right. We opposed the NF, the EDL and now we need to demonstrate solidarity with those threatened by Hindhutva. There is a political vacuum and young working class folk need to be radicalised by better ideas than BJP/RSS will offer
