Please take action to stop privatised water companies ripping us off and polluting our waterways.

1/3 It's being trailed in the media that the chancellor won't, after all, break the manifesto pledge on income tax. If that holds, I welcome it. Breaking the pledge would drive yet another nail into the coffin of political trust.

🌹 LAB: 16.5% (-25.9)

Wow.

The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll.

They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.

Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!

Absolutely insane.

Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.

Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Love that every time Labour make these crap attacks ads - the Green membership rockets up.

And indeed the Green Party overtook Labour in a poll so let's hope they keep it up!

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself. He's coming for Zack. Personally.

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders

And then lay off their workers

Think that's unfair?

Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Would you believe that the UK government funds polluting oil companies with tax breaks! Let’s put a stop to it:

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Another short sighted decision by the “Labour” government:

Here it is. First poll to put Greens in 2nd, ahead of Lab and Con, each on 16. (Very close to Yougov's latest, before the FindOutNow whatabouts).
And the Rachel Reeves story hasn't even shaken out yet. ouch
