A year ago I left this website, partly because of how racist it had got, but also because I was warned people in the Labour Party wanted to block me from re-running as a councillor (because I’m leftwing). A project built on fear and cronyism was always going to end this way.
We took to the streets to demand justice for our member Shamilah.
@haringeycouncil has left her in a SINGLE ROOM with 3 KIDS after fleeing DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
Read more about Shamilah's story and how we're fighting back in the Ham & High 👇 hamhigh.co.uk/news/24768199.…
🎄 ACORN x FELT Soundsystem Xmas Party🎄
Join ACORN Haringey, Islington and Hackney to celebrate a year of fighting landlords and bailliffs, while building power in our communities.
Expect big beats, cheap drinks and all round good vibes.
I reckon Global South countries should use this line every time the banks ask them to pay interest on debts accrued decades ago by NATO-backed dictators.
Wherever is @hilarybennmp? A few years back he invoked the heroism of the Spanish Civil War to insist that Britain must attack Syria in the name of international solidarity. Now he remains silent as Israel, armed by his government, incinerates people in their hospital beds
Shocking behaviour from The Guardian
My employer was just contacted by a reporter. It claims that I “targeted journalists of colour in a sustained campaign” and that I was “involved in incitement” for my thread below. This is outrageous from The @guardian and comes after The Guardian lead author of the fallacious Al Ahli Hospital bombing investigation contacted my employer because I dared to question that report.
In my original thread I never named the lead investigator of the flawed report and not a single one of my claims about The Guardian’s misreporting have been contested by them or anyone at the paper. They’re just targeting me.
The Guardian journalist @manisha_bot, who authored the “investigation” into Israel’s bombing of Al Ahli Hospital killing 471 Palestinians which shamefully concludes that Palestinians were responsible, is now attacking me for dismantling her sham investigation in the thread 🧵 below
She needs to be sacked immediately and the Guardian need to issue an apology and a retraction:
An ACORN Haringey member has been living in one-room emergency accommodation
for 2 YEARS
with her three children
after fleeing domestic violence.
We've just been to @haringeycouncil to deliver a letter demanding that she is found a suitable home.
Haringey's bailiffs have made the news - again.
Year on year increases in bailiff referrals - again.
@haringeycouncil it's time to change course. Ban bailiffs now.

Today we are publishing our Open Letter to Haringey Council about the use of bailiffs in our borough.
Organisations across our community have signed. @Haringeycouncil it’s time to listen to your community and stop using bailiffs.
Huge numbers of ordinary people were not given the courage to confront the fascists last night by melts grumbling about "rainy fascism island". As with resistance to Britain's genocidal policy in Palestine, it was the radical left that did it, not "counter-extremism" bores.
Today the Bank of England cut interest rates knocking ÂŁÂŁÂŁ off mortgages.
For over a year, landlords have been telling us the same thing: my mortgage is going up so I'm raising your rent.
Well now we get to see if it works in the other direction. Where's OUR rate cut?
Joe Biden has the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians on his hand.
Israel would never have been able to raze Gaza to the ground without him.
I'm a non-believer, but if Hell exists, that man would have a first class ticket there.
A monster who belongs in jail.
Seeing as Joe Biden has smashed through the casket ceiling, how about we push for Ulysses Grant to return as President. He's also pretty much dead, but he also strikes me as someone who knows what needs to be done with the Proud Boys and their many representatives in Congress.
