The facts about a planet facing climate disaster are clear. Why won’t this Labour government face them? | Jeremy Corbyn
Labour seems gripped by a form of denialism. The danger is real and incremental change won’t avert it, says Jeremy Corbyn, independent MP for Islington North

As Gaie's MP I tried everything I could to challenge this decision to send her back to prison - including writing to the prisons minister Lord Timpson and the probation service. But they would not budge a millimetre.

Musk is looking to give a boost to the far right in Britain, which has been coalescing around millionaire bigot Farage & Reform.

Starmer falls apart on homelessness at PMQs. Corbyn would've ended it on 'day one'.

Keir Starmer has failed to end homelessness this Christmas - as exposed at #PMQs. In contrast, Corbyn would've done it on day one.

We've had a Labour government for 6 months now.

Thames Water are still not nationalised.

This feels like the most basic, requirement that makes total sense - unless you're in the pockets of millionaires & billionaires.

What's the point of Labour?

A huge gulf between a public opposing genocide and the old establishment parties still continuing to enable it.

On so many issues we need a real alternative - an antidote to Reform - that prioritises people over profit.

That alternative is @greenparty.org.uk

I hear that Netanyahu is about to land in Crete. If the Greek authorities do not arrest him, Greece will be in breach of its commitments to international law (Rome Charter of the ICC) - the only recourse a country like ours has for its long term security.

The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour.

Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens.

Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!

A shockingly awful piece, even by Kuenssberg’s dreadful standards, barely acknowledging the people concerned have fled for their lives, dehumanising them as a problem to be solved, conflating “illegal immigration”, asylum & small-boat arrivals, and concluding that the real victims are…the government
Laura Kuenssberg: Labour's illegal immigration plan is clear - but is it effective?
The PM and his colleagues agree the illegal people smuggling trade in Britain must end - but there's huge disagreement over what should be done.

Labour MPs doing Reform tribute acts.

If you find this lacks vision & is totally uninspiring - then there is an alternative.

If you believe that lifting minority communities & working class communities & tackling the climate crisis is the same struggle:

Opinion | The now-Prime Minister said last year that his approach to reforms would look like New Labour’s Clause IV moment ‘on steroids.’

And it seems like Health Sec. Wes Streeting has taken this to heart with plans seemingly afoot for a new round of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) for the NHS
Wes Streeting is consideration something that will damage the NHS for years
Under Wes Streeting’s apparent plans the long term benefits appear negligible.
