Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.

The poorest fifth of households are spending more of their income on Council Tax than the richest fifth.
Labour should immediately re-evaluate Council Tax bands to make them fairer.
In the long term Greens would replace Council Tax with a fair system for taxing landowners.

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster?
They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel.
Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.
