And we all know that what we are facing is not a “cost of living crisis“ but a “cost a greed crisis”.
Privatised utilities have been given carte blanche by politicians to rob us blind.

“Our” privatised utilities are nothing if not consistent: Shamelessly ripping-off their captive customers, polluting our rivers and rewarding themselves handsomely. Every bloody year since 1989.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."
Shameful.

People want lower rents. They want cheaper bills and publicly-owned services. They want an NHS that works.
Why can’t this government just do things that would actually improve people’s lives?
We can fix this country. We just need the political will.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

If 'centrists' hadn't shoe-horned 'electable' cardboard cut-out Sir Keir Starmer into the Labour leadership, we'd have public ownership of the electricity and water companies, the NHS would be on its way to being rescued, and we wouldn't be arming a genocidal regime...

Suddenly, powerful and influential people are condemning Israel.
It's taken them 19 months of daily genocidal depravity.
But Israel's genocide was obvious from the start - and I warned you then what the cheerleaders and the silent would do.

Either James O’Brien didn’t know Sangita had an NDA (and presenters are treated *very* differently from each other at LBC)…
Or he knew.
If he knew, then it was an absolutely malicious & cowardly act on his part to attempt to defame Sangita, knowing she could not reply.

Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

This might sound pretty basic but if politicians led their decision-making with “how can I care for people well?” instead of “how can I win power?” I think the world would be in a better spot.
