I think part of this story (on eligibility for heat pump grants) is likely to be nonsense - I'll explain in a thread below.

But it is clear that the Treasury wants to abolish the ECO levy, which funds upgrades for fuel poor homes. This would be a serious mistake

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

This genocide belongs to Britain, too.

The government’s legacy will be its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement:

"Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?"

Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.

Those who can channel our anger at 15 years of misrule, who can speak the language of outrage and hope, are the politicians of the moment. They will contribute to what could be, in 2029, the greatest electoral reset in our modern history.

The government is bringing rail franchises into public ownership! 🎉🚄🎉🚄🎉

But how to make sure it's a huge success?

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure.
It's capital.
The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Another day another protest. At RAF High Wycombe where all decisions are made calling out the complicity of the daily spy missions from Akrotiri. How can our armed forces be involved in the genocide when the vast majority of us are 100% opposed to the ongoing genocide.

The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨

It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

UK govt is wrong on the cost of bringing England's water back into public ownership.

Its £100bn number has no economic/legal basis.

The cost of public ownership is "closer to zero".

Companies are bankrupt, their shareholders and lenders have already extracted billions.
