    Remember Mordechai Vanunu? He spent 18 years in prison, including 11 in solitary, after his abduction in Italy, following his expose of Israel's nuclear weapon's programme.

    Workers have a right to work in safety. Rail workers shouldnt be blamed for the state of the railway system - that's the fault of the privatisers and the bosses who've creamed off the profits for years and failed to invest back in the system. My solidarity too to the workers.

    Very inspiring Palestine solidarity protest in Manchester today. Young, angry and led by women. A new generation of activists.

    The phrase "National Front" is trending on UK twitter. The thing to remember about their 1970s fascism is that is was defeated by a mass movement of anti-racists & anti-fascists. We stopped fascism then, we can stop the right today. #AntiNaziLeague #StandUptoRacism

    Jonathan Sacks' comparison of Corbyn to Enoch Powell is a disgrace. A deliberate attempt to prevent criticism of the Israeli state. Corbyn is a principled anti-racist - these smears are about undermining the left, not driving racism back into the gutter. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

    Under Manchester's plaque to victims of Peterloo, someone has left flowers & a polling card to mark their struggle.

    I am enormously sad to hear news of the death of British & Irish Marxist thinker & activist John Molyneux. My solidarity to his family & his many friends & comrades. I had the pleasure of talking & working with him on many occasions. A massive loss to the revolutionary movement.

    Diane Abbott's vote goes up 12.2%. Voters snub the sexist, racist commentators and stand by their MP.

    I found this description of an old shepherding tradition strangely moving. Insurance against the day of judgement in case God thought you had been shirking. One for @herdyshepherd1?

    I was at that picket line at 6am this morning to show my support and there were loads of RMT members and their supporters. Can't imagine why Adam didn't want to be there when the picket was really busy... But didn't we all look great.
