    To defeat Islamism and racism – we must uplift progressive Muslims

    Image credits: Shaanop https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ In Britain there are problems with Islamism. Problems which we’d rather stick our fingers in our ears about until something happens. I have discussed this before. Although racism is never justified, I do think there are some concerns about Islamic migration to the West which are not…

    Why Progressives Misdiagnosing Racism Undermines The Left and Minorities

    As an ethnic minority and someone firmly on the left, I’ve witnessed first-hand how Britain’s racism problem is deeply rooted in its colonial past—a history built on white supremacy and the dehumanisation of Black people, Indians, Muslims, Jews, Irish people, and countless others. Real racism exists and must be confronted.…

    How Russia unites political extremists in Britain

    Edit: I corrected the original article to amend for a mistake I made RE Corbyn. What links together Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and George Galloway? Not a lot it seems. All are deeply controversial figures with varying levels of support but on all else differ immensely. However on one issue…

    Edits: *The latter half of this article has been amended since first publication as I changed my mind on a few points* Kareem Dennis, better known as Lowkey is about to tour the UK. I consider him to be one of the most intelligent, principled and interesting people in politics…

    The Systemic Failure of UK Politics: A Nation at a Crossroads

    In today’s United Kingdom, we face an unprecedented political crisis. The landscape isn’t merely experiencing typical partisan tensions—it’s fundamentally fractured at its core. As voters search for leadership, they’re confronted with a sobering reality: there is not a single major political party, nor leader, who offers a genuinely promising vision…

    How the Socialist Worker Party monopolise social movements

    If you’re from the UK, you will have seen the Socialist Worker’s Party (SWP) even if you’re unaware of it. Their banners have been present at every major social protest across the last year or so; anti racist demonstrations in the wake of the summer race riots, anti Reform UK…

    I always believed I am British, not just that – English. I still do. Because what else am I? England born and bred, schooling in England, culturally integrated entirely and I have never lived anywhere else. This isn’t a choice or a decision as the media likes to present it;…

    The 1984 Sikh Genocide: Why We Must Still Talk About It In 1984, thousands of Sikhs were massacred across India in what many now recognise as a genocide. Sikhism, a religion founded in 15th-century Punjab, has faced centuries of persecution—but this modern atrocity remains lesser known, especially outside South Asian…
