Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social told the Morning Star:

"Private firms are taking as much as 30 - 40% profit from their NHS contracts, every penny of which detracts from the rebuilding of the NHS after Tory austerity and 25+ years of outsourcing."

That @libertyhq.bsky.social had to go to court to defend democracy against both Conservative and Labour governments is shocking.

Now that Labour has FINALLY accepted defeat in this legal challenge the government must now review ALL arrests made under these unlawful powers
🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE

Following its defeat in the Court of Appeal in May the Government has quietly dropped its fight for tougher anti-protest laws used to arrest hundreds of people, including climate activist Greta Thunberg

It’s a huge win for democracy & protest rights

At St Paul's Cathedral for the Srebenica Memorial Day service, a truly solemn moment 🙏

One of the speakers, Deputy PM Angela Rayner said, "The west took too long to act in the 1990s, we should have acted sooner"

And my immediate thought was of what's happening to the Palestinians in Gaza ☹️

Today marks 8 years since the Grenfell Tower fire, when 72 people needlessly died because of corporate greed and deceit.

Every year, I am moved by the resolve, kindness and humanity of the community.

8 years on, we are still fighting for justice.
