On holiday and revisiting old books on my bookshelves. This one feels like an appropriate read for these times of despair and defeatism! Ralph Miliband a brilliant Marxist thinker of the Old “New Left” 😂 and nothing like his “New Labour” offspring!

Foys in Dishoom for lunch in Glasgow before the cup final

Dodgy?????

Important book by @hannahmstrommen.bsky.social and @ulrichschmiedel.bsky.social a must read for Christians of all denominations recommended to me by my old friend and teacher Rev Prof Will Storrar.

An important book that anyone interested in the Catholic Church in its contemporary crisis needs to read.

@graemethomson.bsky.social has written a brilliant analysis of the life and work of Kate bush for those of us who have simply loved the music and knew nothing about her!Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Just arrived. Looks like a very interesting read!

See I told you I’d been a good boy! Santa played a belter this year!

Fascinating read. Exploring the the development of the Marxist left in Italy in the aftermath of the war and beyond. Communist politician, journalist and feminist. Rossanda died in 1920 aged 96.

Won’t be at demo tomorrow due to a recent bout of ill health but Hoping it’s the transition moment that we move this already huge campaign in support of the Palestinian People oppressed by an apartheid Israeli state! Into a sustained mass movement of solidarity in all communities and workplaces.
