Despite Storm Isha lambasting the UK, Babylon continues to do its dirty work. This week, we unpack the Conservative government's Rwanda Bill and the latest Boycott Bill, which received its third and final reading at Parliament before being presented at the House of Lords. What exactly do these bills mean in a wider context for us, and is it worth the public interest? *Spoiler alert...it bloody well is!
In the Spotlight: Kambale Musavuli, a Panafricanist from the Kongo province who is educating and mobilizing people around the world to support the Congolese people in struggle.
