Budget 2025
One lesso: organise, inform, campaign, protest.
UK Govt wasted 18 months, condemned millions of children to poverty. Today govt announced end of the two child benefit cap.
7 MPs had Labour whip withdrawn for opposing the cap. For 18 months Ministers defended the stupid policy.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.
Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.
Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!

The “magic money tree” exists: it’s in the City of London with the billionaires.
What’s missing isn’t money, it’s political will. Establishment parties bankrolled by billionaires aren’t going to tax their donors.

I asked the Home Secretary how it feels to kick away the ladder and introduce anti-migrant policies endorsed by fascist Tommy Robinson?
She didn’t answer the question, calling it “beneath contempt”.
The only thing beneath contempt is her pound-shop Powellism. Shame on her & this Labour government.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.
Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.
This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

We won't stop until the govt has heard us: the only lesson that can be learnt from the disaster of PFI is a fully publicly owned and publicly funded NHS - like this government promised in their manifesto.

Before my Question Time appearance, there was an attempt to sabotage the movement we’re building.
But the stakes are too high.
With inequality rising, child poverty deepening, migrants under attack & an emboldened far-right, we must keep fighting.
It’s socialism or barbarism.

Wes Streeting says striking NHS staff are “holding patients to ransom”.
Wrong! He’s the one holding patients and the NHS to ransom, by refusing to give doctors the pay and jobs they deserve.
To all our dedicated healthcare workers: thank you for all you do. Solidarity!

Last month I wrote to the Foreign Secretary about the detention of British journalist Sami Hamdi by U.S. authorities — a deeply troubling case for press freedom and human rights.
I’m relieved to hear that he’s set to be released and will return home to his family soon.
