The takedown of Jason Arday has overjoyed the right, and must be a wake-up call for the left | Jason Okundaye
The Cambridge academic has rightly now resigned. But that won’t end the targeting of senior black figures or the lazy way institutions promote faux equality, says Guardian columnist Jason Okundaye

Farage, Reform, and its top team's finances have so far led to investigations by: The Met Police The Electoral Commission Parliamentary Standards Multiple banks' financial-compliance teams National Crime Agency And the FBI Like I said. It's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along.
#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.
Write to your MP to request that the National Emergency Briefing screening is televised on all television channels with the Prime Minister stating how he is going to address the serious risk to national security that climate and biodiversity breakdown present. #NEBriefing
rowan-adams.bsky.social@rowan-adams.bsky.social · 5d agoPlease everybody who reads this, go along to a People's Emergency Briefing screening about the wildlife and climate crisis, so as many of us as possible get together to discuss what we can do to protect our only home planet and ourselves from the folly of our own actions and their consequences.
This is definitely a talking point we would love to take further @talkingheadsoak.bsky.social
Penny Sturt@supervisionmatters.bsky.social · 3d agoReally enjoyed @jowillliams.bsky.social reflections here about #Supervision (and not only because she quotes me at the start). Conversations about supervision where the humanity of making relationships is explicitly acknowledged and what contributes to that. thesupervisionspace.blog/2026/07/30/b...

1/3 Strip away the theatre and Reform UK is a billionaire-backed project to dismantle the public realm, shred regulatory protections and hand what remains of state power to capital. It’s plain to see – just follow the money.
It absolutely boggles my mind as a South African that I am living through a drought in the United Kingdom. Like, how? We have what feels like pretty much non-stop rain most of the year - the country is rather known for it. Yet here we are, with the countryside looking like the Free State in (1)
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 3d agoBBC News reporting on concerns about food security and water security We can all see the food and water crisis unfolding, why isn't our government doing everything possible to protect these two precious resources, our food and water supply?
And when - after the most acute phase is over - you* seek expert advice about what the 'recovery' for children should comprise, don't balk at the £15bn price tag, and provide only a measly 10% of that. *The govt did exactly this, and then ignored the advice they were given.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

As both Mariana Mazzucato’s new article & Tim Ford’s new book make clear, (& as we‘re finding where I live), the modern economics of swimming is by default monetised by / geared around middle class lane swimmers, with an awful lot of spontaneity & joy & youth access sacrificed, at high social cost.

Meanwhile - through the looking glass Farage is publicising his attempt to con people into believing that he can be exonerated by a poll of the Clactorate.
The Trump family and administration's embrace of the Tate brothers and intervention on their behalf shows that whatever Donald Trump doesn't want us to know about his association with Jeffrey Epstein, the same vicious misogyny persists. The Tates are the new Epstein.
I meet people every week when out vox popping who are completely convinced that small boat crossings are rising exponentially. They aren’t - they are falling substantially. Journalists and politicians have a duty to get this message across. Some are mendacious, others just incompetent.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3w agoSmall boats to UK now down 45% year on year to mid-July. The BBC continues to (mistakenly) tend to hypothesise a weather effect. It is neither weather nor UK govt policy. It is a change in EU-wide flows.
If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade
