My latest piece: "As these lessons of history play out before our eyes, we can finally teach young people meaningfully about #colonialism, #imperialism, colonial ideology and systemic #racism; not as abstract historical concepts, but as living forces that insist on continuing to shape our world."

The House of Lords puts cronies, donors and disgraced politicians like Lord Mandelson in positions of immense power over our country for life. Unelected and unaccountable. Abolish this relic.

This is absolutely heartbreaking Dr. Hossam's lawyers warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, & the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering. Do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away 💔

🧕🏽 Happy #WorldHijabDay! Many Muslim women choose to wear the hijab to express their faith and identity. As Scotland’s leading women’s rights organisation for Muslim & Minority Ethnic women, we honour and support women’s right to choose whether they wear the hijab or not. #AminaMWRC #MuslimWomen

Spot on again from Arundhati Roy, but let's remember it's the same ignorance of the system in the 🇬🇧 that has allowed Farage to see success and influence today.

Poll Analysis: YouGov 8th - 14th of January 2026 Holyrood Seats Projection: SNP ~ 64 Reform UK ~ 21 Labour ~ 16 Green ~ 11 Conservative ~ 9 Lib Dem ~ 8 Independence: No ~ 53% Yes ~ 47%

Poll Analysis: YouGov 8th – 14th of January 2026

A perhaps eyebrow raisingly high Scottish Reform score from the pollster finding the lowest GB Reform results doesn't change the fact this is term-worst poll for Labour, who are currently headed for a crushing loss.

I’ve spent the past 2 years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with Israel supporters. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them. My latest for Zeteo on how the media was also complicit in the genocide denial:
