The @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social rightly pointing out the opportunity on Wednesday to put an end to the extraordinarily cruel two-child limit that simply puts some of the poorest families into further poverty.

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero. Companies have violated their licences. Shares worthless. Debt low value. Railtrack, Northern Rock were taken over without compensation for investors. Can do the same for water companies? But govt obsessed with privatisation.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. But apart from that, spot on! 😬 The Bear explains how Reform got it completely wrong ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! Also calling on our local MPs, @elliereeves.bsky.social and @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social to take a stand on women’s rights

The media want to tell you that 18 year old men are all voting Reform. Well….that just isn’t true. Young men (18-24) are just as likely - and young women are far more likely - to vote Green! Don’t believe the hype. Join the Greens and get behind a real alternative.

🚨 Over the next 5 years, the Government will hand £70billion over to landlords...to cover shortfalls where people can't afford their rent. £70billion. Public money to private landlords. Renters priced out & out of pocket. We need homes for people, not profit. #RentControlsNow

5m UK adults in financial, health, housing insecurity. 15 yrs of real wage cuts, austerity, unchecked profiteering, declining public services, poor housing take toll. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined. Need people-centred politics.

Mega historical bust ups. A thread. 1. King John and Philip of France The powerful foreigner cynically helped put the incompetent, odious sex offender on the throne only to launch an all out war against him. John bankrupted his kingdom, fell out with everyone and shat himself to death

Public transport investment? Always good. But it must extend to making our bus and rail network accessible to all and slashing train fares. The money’s there, being wasted on traffic inducing road schemes, let's use it to make the greenest transport, the easiest and cheapest.

The Israeli government is perpetrating war crimes in Gaza and the UK is complicit. I joined the Red Line for Palestine around Parliament today, calling on the government to enact a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel now. #StopArmingIsrael @pscupdates.bsky.social

Gunning down people you are choosing to starve as they desperately seek food for their families shocks the conscience. States should urgently act, including imposing sanctions and an arms embargo, to press Israel to stop exterminating Palestinians.

In the Chamber today I challenged the govt’s so called “defence” spending plan—a whopping £15 billion on nuclear weapons that must never be used. That money could be used to deliver real security: affordable housing, strong public services, climate resilience, and pandemic preparedness.
