Undo privatisation. Undo Brexit. Tax the rich and end austerity. Care for the environment. Care for one another.

Dear BBC,
Stop calling it a war
It's mass murder
It's war crimes
It's ethnic cleansing
It's GENOCIDE

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water.

The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive.

England has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly.

"millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"?

No.
Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

UK govts made the rich richer.

Billionaire wealth is 10 times larger than in 1990, built on speculation, inheritance, exploitation & regressive taxation.

16m Britons live in poverty. Real average wage unchanged since 2008.

Can't rebuild economy without redistribution. Increase taxes on the rich.
The Guardian view on billionaire Britain: tax wealth fairly or face democratic unravelling | Editorial
Editorial: Without bold reform which makes the rich pull their weight, rising inequality risks eroding public trust and fracturing social stability

Who is actually in power?

Keir Starmer or the unelected Morgan McSweeney?

Yes, Nigel Farage went on holiday to France instead of attending a debate on the EU deal, but to be fair, he did get permission to go from all of his other nine jobs.

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly.

The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in.

We urgently need reform.

Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

Today marked 77 years since the Nakba — when 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes.

It never ended. Genocide in Gaza and land theft in the West Bank continue.

We stand for Palestinian freedom, return and dignity — and demand that the UK stops arming genocide.

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza.

With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?

Today I'm putting forward an Energy Jobs Bill to futureproof British industry and secure a livelihood for workers. Proud to launch it at a rally alongside workers, trade unionists and climate campaigners working hand in hand to demand government wake up and take action.

Quoting Enoch Powell is never a coincidence.

The Prime Minister knew what message he was sending — and who he was sending it to. Disgraceful.

If you can't imagine being hungry, even for one day, try to imagine being hungry & unable to feed your children.

Israel is starving Palestinians. It is a crime of such magnitude it is hard to imagine.
We must insist that our government does everything it can to stop this.
We must sanction Israel.

All of us.... every single last one of us... are descended from immigrants. And without it, this country would just be a bunch of uninhabited islands on the edge of the world. Everything that built this country... and everything it is... springs from that. And we should embrace it, not decry it.
