Unwritten Lives

Dear Home Secretary, We are writing on behalf of constituents in Crouch End, Haringey, who have asked us to raise concerns about remarks you made at a public event recently.

On Monday 20 April Shabana Mahmood told “white liberal” hecklers to “f**k right off”. Under no circumstances is this acceptable. With standards in public life in the UK slipping, community cohesion disintegrating, and democratic procedures eroding, Mahmood must be held to account for her abusive language. I have written to my local north London MP, Catherine West, and local councillors, calling for an apology from the home secretary, because everybody has the right to feel safe.

On 28 March 2026, tens of thousands of people gathered in London to march against the far right.

March TOGETHER against the far right. Central London. Saturday 28 March 2026. 12pm to 6pm. Join us!

The Middle East is being set alight by the US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Already hundreds of civilians have been killed. We condemn the bombing and demand the UK government oppose these illegal attacks on a sovereign country. Demonstrations are taking place across the UK. Join the demo in central London on Saturday 7 March at 12:00 noon.

On 28 February, the Trump administration along with Israel launched an unprovoked, illegal war on Iran. Immediately, people across the US hit the streets to express the majority sentiment in the country: rejecting another endless war for regime change! Continue this anti-war outpouring this Monday as part of a coordinated day of action.

While South Africa’s historic categorisation of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide as a national disaster has intensified the spotlight on the country’s appalling statistics of violence against women and girls, the perpetrators remain mostly unmentioned. A society that cannot speak about its male perpetrators can never understand its female victims and survivors.
