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…

Glad to see govt finally grasping the opportunity presented by the move to clean energy - some good measures here
But we need public investment in supply chain industries to create these jobs
And what about a guarantee for workers currently at risk of being pushed out of work?

Israel murdered 44 people in Gaza today because one of Israel's bulldozers hit unexploded ordinance and blew up.
So they blamed Hamas and used it as an excuse to go on a killing spree.
Now they say they will go back to the Ceasefire.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...
'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.
And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.
Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.
