Battle for Britain: Fighting the Tory Government’s Vile Ideology

Please support my work as a reader-funded investigative journalist and commentator.   On June 22, a week after the dreadful Grenfell Tower inferno in west London, which I wrote about here and here, Architects for Social Housing (ASH), an organisation set up two years ago to oppose the demolition of housing estates for profit, and […]

Please support my work as a reader-funded investigative journalist and commentator.   It’s over a month since the General Election, which destroyed Theresa May as any sort of credible leader. Having called an election, despite repeatedly promising not to, she then showed a startling inability to meet ordinary people and to connect with them, in […]

Please support my work as a reader-funded investigative journalist and commentator.   I was so busy last week with Guantánamo-related business (on and around US Independence Day) and activities involving my band The Four Fathers that I didn’t have time to devote to a truly scandalous development that took place last Monday — the decision, […]

Please also, if you can, consider supporting my work as a reader-funded investigative journalist and commentator.   The text below is adapted from the accompanying text for my photos on Flickr. Yesterday, I cycled into central London to join a ‘Protest Against Theresa May’ that had been called by […]

Please sign the 38 Degrees petition to the government urging them to “improve fire safety in tower blocks to make sure the tragedy in Grenfell Tower is never repeated,” which, by Saturday morning, had over 155,000 signatures.
