Our 2026 Radical Book Fair programme is LIVE and fizzing with the energy of this year’s theme: Building a Better Now! Not in the future, but now. Different worlds already exist, in people, spaces and movements, those pockets of life where glorious alternatives to late capitalism and despair are carved out, moment by moment. These are seeds for the world we want. Let’s give them power and joy! Like previous years, the fair will be made up of book stalls, activist stalls, events, workshops and more, ranging from topics such as the cost of living crisis, effective activism, queer ecology, lives in protest and prison, feminist utopias, fighting the rise of the right and much more. All this at Assembly Roxy, 5-8th November. In true DIY festival fashion, we’ve held back a few events for final touches. Expect much joy, celebration and opportunities for gathering as the Radical Book Fair nights close in - with words and music aplenty. Final flourish of evening events in a special announcement soon! Two booksellers stand outside the bookshop. One is holding up a banner that says "Programme is now live" while the other one holds a pile of books. There is text on the wall between them that reads "Look After Each Other."

With no CSO discharges for over a week why is there a pollution incident at Porty West from a sample on 26th Aug? Why 2 days to put signs up warning ? And when will next sample be taken to see if there is a real issue…. @chrismurraymp @alysgreens @portyenergy @portywatercollective @bbcscotnews @edinburgheveningnews @lorenzo.scottish.greens - on a side note, rather odd the reform leaflet thought a hovercraft was a bigger priority than our local water quality ! @scottishcoastalcleanup @chrismurraymp - Scottish water execs earning those bonuses again it seems ! Shout out to @soulwatersauna for sign photo - our community deserves better

Such a wonderful discussion with Devi Sridhar - she is awesome! And like Tim Minchin too, she’s worried about social media.

I don’t need someone who thinks like me — I need someone who challenges my blind spots. That’s how better outcomes are created.” — Professor Devi Sridhar 🖊️ Reflecting on this powerful insight from her keynote.
