Going down memory lane when the migrants' right movement was unafraid to do some real campaigning. And when Labour had a strong values-based voice. Wondering if we would be able to get this strong a vocal outcry just 5 years later. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines pocketed £3.9bn "excess profits” over the past four years after Ofgem misjudged their costs. Will we get a refund - no chance. Ofgem doesn't protect people. Need customer elected directors on the boards of all utilities.

Why have @brighton-hove.gov.uk gone on a spree of felling hundreds of trees in multiple parks across the city? This is supposedly being done to prevent spread of ash dieback, but this goes directly against Forestry Commission advice:

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

£15,000 pay rise for OFWAT CEO. Must be for performance - water companies dumping sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, record hike in customer bills, permitting companies to pay dividends Will probably get a job with a water company, previous CEO is director of Thames Water.

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Prohibition doesn't work. It never has. If there is desperation, people will always find a way. To eliminate people smugglers - give people safe, legal routes to seek asylum. Stopping small boats without alternative safe routes only reinforces the usage of people smugglers. Labour KNOW this. 👊

If the government really wanted to put people smugglers out of business, they would open safe routes for refugees.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

What Dan Hodges has said about Palestinians, including children, is utterly depraved. If he said these things about Israelis, his career would immediately end. So why not when it's about Palestinians? New video 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPql...

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.

Is this real?? Sckening - serving up people’s suffering to appease the populist Right. When will Labour learn you can’t out-Reform Reform? Instead, offer a far bolder agenda of green investment in local communities, public services in public hands, wealth taxes on super-rich, & a bit of hope FFS
