Nationalise Thames Water now. We can't go on like this.

We've had a Labour government for 6 months now. Thames Water are still not nationalised. This feels like the most basic, requirement that makes total sense - unless you're in the pockets of millionaires & billionaires. What's the point of Labour?

Is Lord Walney, the govt’s “independent” anti-extremism adviser, meeting with the fossil fuel companies being challenged by the peaceful protesters he’s calling extremists? The govt won’t tell us, so today I’m asking him directly. My letter ⬇️

A huge gulf between a public opposing genocide and the old establishment parties still continuing to enable it. On so many issues we need a real alternative - an antidote to Reform - that prioritises people over profit. That alternative is @greenparty.org.uk

I hear that Netanyahu is about to land in Crete. If the Greek authorities do not arrest him, Greece will be in breach of its commitments to international law (Rome Charter of the ICC) - the only recourse a country like ours has for its long term security.

The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour. Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens. Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!

A shockingly awful piece, even by Kuenssberg’s dreadful standards, barely acknowledging the people concerned have fled for their lives, dehumanising them as a problem to be solved, conflating “illegal immigration”, asylum & small-boat arrivals, and concluding that the real victims are…the government

Opinion | The now-Prime Minister said last year that his approach to reforms would look like New Labour’s Clause IV moment ‘on steroids.’ And it seems like Health Sec. Wes Streeting has taken this to heart with plans seemingly afoot for a new round of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) for the NHS

Starmer said his government would be like New Labour's 'Clause IV on steroids.' Seems Streeting's take on this is NHS PFI version 2. But just like steroids, any plans for privatisation in the NHS should come with a health warning: they may cause dangerous side effects. I write for @metro.co.uk:

Labour’s manifesto promised to “remove indignities for trans people”, yet the government’s ban on puberty blockers adopts the Tories’ politicised unevidenced approach. Young people — cis & trans — must have access to healthcare they need. I stand firmly with the trans community.

Wes Streetings decision is dangerous enough alone but when you add context of the spiralling state of our mental health services - it is cruel, callous and unnecessary. Medical practitioners should be making these decisions with the patient - not politicians pushing austerity.

So called 'senior bankers' were responsible for the 2008 financial crash and continue to rake in mind blowing sums in bonuses. And that's who Rachel Reeves has picked to tell public services to spend less money. The country didn't vote for Austerity 2.0.

No genocide has been so confessed to as it actually happened. No genocide has been so evidenced by both victims and perpetrators as it actually happened. This devastating report underlines why every facilitator, every cheerleader, of Israel's genocide must be held to account.

Billionaires are a threat to democracy and society. We've allowed a very small group to have as much wealth as the entire nation. They've bought out our communities, businesses, media organisations and politicians. All while blaming foreigners. It's a class war and currently they're winning.
