Coming up at 7.30pm tonight: The Freedom Anarchist News Review!
We can't really say Labour is taking a right "turn" as such, but going all Keinoch Powell is a low even for the technocrats, and we'll discuss what painting themselves into a racist corner will do on the ground.
Over in the activist scene meanwhile we're just days away from the 30th Anniversary revival of Reclaim The Streets, and we'll talk about its legacy alongside a roundup from Legal Andy of the latest courtroom shenanigans.
In Birmingham, we saw the first attempt for a long time at mass picketing - can "megapickets" be a good revival strategy for solidarity unionism? Plus more if we get around to it!

Solidarity with trans people will be more important than ever over the next while, as the Supreme Court verdict will have wide ramifications not just legally but as an official opening of the door for exclusionary and violent transphobia. Shameful cork-popping outside the court being a good example.
