On Saturday, I spoke at a rally in Southend... I expected hostility (we got it). I said what I needed to say. It's a shame that the people hurling racist abuse and swearing at us didn't listen to even a few of my words. You can, though! Here they are.

Ah, if you don’t believe it when I say it, listen to Israeli Jew Avi Shlaim. As I’ve said countless times, once the scales fall from your eyes, you realise everything Israel wants you to believe is a lie. (Psst, the name for this is propaganda.)

Is this a statement or a guessing game, @societyofauthors.bsky.social?
"We are concerned by recent press reports on the police raid of an educational bookshop in a country which is governed by a parliamentary democracy."
Too good not to share. All credit to @artpope.bsky.social
It’s the only thing I’m interested in today & every day until Palestine is free.
🚨TOMORROW - National Demo - Freedom for Palestine
📍 Whitehall to the US Embassy
⏰ 15 February, 12 noon
Donald Trump want's to ethnically cleanse Gaza. We cannot let him. March for Palestine and call on our government to oppose his plan. Let's make this the biggest march yet.
British publishing has not exactly showered itself with glory over solidarity with writers under fire in these gen0cidal times—so when some good emerges, it deserves encouragement.
Emergency appeal by @saqibooks.bsky.social. Support it.
