We talk about race and class being co-constitutive in the UK, but my
God, the relationship between race and abject poverty in NYC was just on a whole other level.
Social stratification plays out in the very architecture of the city. From my 23rd floor window in Midtown, you could look into the apartments across the street. These flats were absolutely palatial, they’d cost millions to buy outright.
At night, these were perfect illuminated tableaux - a laughing dinner party, a woman tidying up after her kids, a couple curled up on a sofa that’s bigger than some flats I’ve lived in. And every single figure I saw was white (albeit tinged a little gold with plush lamplight).

Harlem has declared war on my arteries, and yet the mainstream media remain silent? Shameful.

There’s another way to look at this story - that the rigid structures of Labour Party comms is being superceded by voices from the movement and/or membership.

That’s not “fringe”. That’s what growing a culture of active and informed democratic participation looks like.
Personally, what I find more interesting are the moments of divergence between movement voices and Labour leadership, and how latent differences in organisational and political visions might be resolved in the coming months.
For instance, policing has been approached by the LP through the lens of anti-austerity populism. There’s a clear conflict between this and the anti-carceral politics permeating much of the left. How will this conflict play out on policy/press/protest terrains?

Alright lads, let’s play a game. Guess the iconic poem from my summary and you’ll win absolutely nothing but a sense of self satisfaction.
1. “Ngl my girlfriend is clapped, but she’s a real one still.”
2. “In Olde English, Christ nails you.”

In 4 days time, it's likely that Labour NEC will adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism (text: holocaustremembrance.com/working-defini…) with caveats added to protect freedom of speech re: Israel/Palestine.

I don't think this is a good idea. Thread incoming, mea culpa, me paenitet..
Firstly, I recognise the necessity of tackling antisemitism in the Labour Party head on - not just out of electoral strategy, but because Jews once again are being painted as rootless cosmopolitans and subverters of democracy in Europe (see Nick Timothy's article, etc).
Such tropes, at the centre rather than the fringes of political discourse, are part of a wider project to use ideas of the 'alien enemy within' to break and remake society in the image of increasingly hardline ethnonationalism. This must be fought tooth and nail at every step.

I've got a lot of respect for @pollytoynbee, but her article on the veil (where, annoyingly, niqab and burqa are referenced interchangeably) embodies so much of the intellectual incuriousity surrounding this discussion. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Why not include or reference interviews with women who veil?

And as for this part ("But the few women who are educated, liberated and free to choose the niqab as a religious symbol of an extreme fundamentalist creed are almost certainly a minority")...
it's irresponsible journalism to present your assumption ("almost certainly") as fact, when there's not even enough data available to tell us how many women wear the veil in the UK. The most recent data (9 years old, from France) suggests it's less than 0.01% of Muslim women.
