The Government intends to overturn Sheffield's 2021 Referendum vote in which we decided we wanted ALL 84 Councillors to have a meaningful say in the way the City is run rather than just a leader & a handful of others.

Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

40% of the UK's universities are now running deficits. Next year, it is expected that 75% will. How long is it before some begin to go bust as a result of UK government policy?

We can multi task and do both!!!!
The Blairites Starmer models his brand of Tory on are crawling from beneath their rocks to flag mindless cruelties as bargaining chips: "Let Starmer freeze pensioners," they say. "Lobby the two-child benefit cap instead."

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.
There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently.
That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

In the 2024 election, some of us urged a vote for the Greens or independents.
We said that this was the only way to build pressure on Labour, otherwise they would just act on pressure from Nigel Farage.
Next time, maybe listen to us.
