I am so fed up of politicians and media outlets telling us all that the NHS is less productive than pre-pandemic, while completely ignoring the enormous collective trauma endured by its workforce during the largest public health crisis in 75 years.…

Labour are making inequality in the UK even worse. And rather than reverse - they're now blaming vulnerable people instead. It's just another version of Reform. Join the alternative: join.greenparty.org.uk

How Finland’s Left are beating the far right by rejecting austerity and championing workers rights. Labour, take notes. This is how it’s done. Not sensible adults in the room centrism. Left wing populism. A good read in the Tribune by @graceblakeley.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/01/how-...

Judging by Starmer's shameful refusal to condemn Trump's Gaza ethnic cleansing announcement in the Commons today, he still aspires to be Trump's junior business partner, unable to realise he is petitioning a vindictive mob boss who demands acquiescence www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Really glad Ed Miliband agrees that airport expansion can only take place within environmental limits. We know airport expansion is completely incompatible with reaching our climate targets, and therefore I look forward to hearing him confirm that govt won't back any expansion.

Trump's advocacy for ethnic cleansing in Gaza - while hosting a man wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity - must not be ignored by Labour. The Government must defend international law, and reiterate Palestinians' right to self-determination.

That Trump is normalising the notion of a forcible eviction of an entire people from a patch of Middle Eastern land does not seem to bother Netanyahu. Caught up in his genocidal mania, he cannot even discern what a lethal notion this is for Israeli Jews. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

✂️ Thanks to a decade of cuts from the last Conservative government, many of our councils face bankruptcy. 💰 But instead of funding our Councils fairly, making the super wealthy pay their fair share, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves want us to foot the bill. 🥀 Labour are just as bad as the Tories.

The Government plan is to temporarily renationalise Thames Water, for you to pay off its debts, and then to let someone else takeover so they can rob you, build up massive debts and do the same all over again. NO water should be NATIONALISED. RT if you agree.

So Labour can find the money to 'relax' their changes to the non-dom tax regime but they can't find the money to restore the winter fuel allowance or lift children out of poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap 🤔 Whose side are they on?
