The privatisation of our water has been a total failure and the time to bring Thames Water into public ownership is long overdue.
The government must act now and renationalise all water, energy, mail and rail.

For 12 days and counting, Israel has not allowed a single humanitarian aid truck to enter Gaza. No food. No water. No fuel.

The government has played a direct role in the genocide in Gaza through its arms sales to Israel.
Today, my bill to end arms sales to Israel & any country at risk of violating international law, was blocked from being heard.
But I won’t back down. I’ll keep bringing it back.

From the outset the Met sought to ban pro-Palestine demonstrators from peacefully protesting.
The crackdown is an attack on freedom of expression & false claims of "forceful" behaviour are dangerous.
Charges must be dropped & the government must end this authoritarian exercise.
