Read my statement about why I backed strike action by resident doctors www.clivelewis.org/uncategorise...

1/ I was hosted by the African‑Caribbean Medical Society and the Norwich Medical School Faculty at the Bob Champion Research and Education Building on the Norwich Research Park.

Private water has failed this country. So I’m co-hosting a briefing in Parliament for MPs to make sure they know the truth about why public ownership is the solution. We’ve got just 24 hours to get my colleagues there. Can you help? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

1/5 Labour’s Child Poverty Strategy marks a step forward. Its aim is to ease the stress and suffering of around 550,000 children and families. This only counts if backed by clear targets and funding.

This is the predictable consequence of rolling out a dangerous technology without safeguards. There isn’t public consent for police using these mass surveillance tools for exactly this reason.

If the cost of living crisis won’t move this government, maybe the collapse of their climate programme will. After 35 years of privatisation: - No new major water reservoirs built - 3bn litres lost to leaks every day - £85bn taken in dividends. Public ownership is the only credible fix.

The Reform has dropped the act, openly Thatcherite. The Conservatives are copying them to save their skins. The best way to cut support for the authoritarian right is to stand with people against profiteers in water and energy, and give real security.

1/2 Today’s Budget has some welcome steps, including ending the two-child limit and the start of council tax reform. But it’s tactical, not strategic. Britain needs a plan that taxes wealth fairly, devolves real power, and brings essential utilities back under public control.

1/2 The “people’s broadcaster” is now overseen by private equity grandees, ex-CEOs of privatised utilities, investment bankers and assorted corporate heavyweights. Hardly the broad public it claims to serve.

Together with my Green New Deal colleagues, Colin Hines and Larry Elliott we have published a document of hope and possibility in advance of the Rachel Reeves event on Wednesday: A Popular Budget to Fund a Social and Green New Deal. Please read and share…. greennewdealgroup.org/press-releas...

1/4 Making sure people have confidence in their borders and sovereignty is important. But if the Government thinks this week’s hard-line immigration shift will help halt the nosedive in its support, they’re wrong. @leftfootforward.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2025/11/excl...

I’ll just leave this here.

1/3 It's being trailed in the media that the chancellor won't, after all, break the manifesto pledge on income tax. If that holds, I welcome it. Breaking the pledge would drive yet another nail into the coffin of political trust.

In an interview about Palantir's creeping involvement in the British state and the NHS, I told @prospectmagazine.co.uk: “Its business is death and destruction. This is not an organisation you want running the democratic jewel of the postwar period.” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/dem...

1/4 This is how leading housing and homelessness charity Shelter welcomed a major win for renters yesterday. Last night, the Renters’ Rights Bill received Royal Assent and, thanks to this Labour government, it’s now law.

Why isn't my government in favour of public ownership of water? I don't mince my words answering this and many of your most pressing questions on water. Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=s3Lb... Support the campaign: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. But public ownership is being blocked by misleading figures. Can you ask the Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people, not profiteers, first? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

What an absolute cluster. Private companies in effect alleging the Thames Water bidding process is rigged. Who’d have guessed! Ministers should just fess-up. This charade has never been about the public interest. It was always about keeping water in private hands at any cost.

The hospitality sector is under threat. Ahead of the November Budget, I have joined other MPs to urge the Chancellor to act now to protect an industry that employs millions nationwide, provides vital spaces for connection, and creates a vibrant local life here in Norwich.

On 4 October 2025, Trafalgar Square saw the Lift The Ban protest, where hundreds were arrested for showing support for Palestine Action after the government banned it under terrorism laws. 1/4 www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xf...

It’s time to take back what’s ours. At the #BlueEarthSummit I joined Feargal Sharkey and @cleanilkley.bsky.social to call out the scam of privatised water, and show how public ownership can become a reality. If you agree it’s time to bring our water home, sign: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

For years, the political centre has comforted itself with a story: that public mistrust is irrational. But this mistrust is not irrational at all. It's rooted in the lived experience of a public that has seen too much. Read my piece for @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

Another day, another water price hike. Yes, these are new increases. By 2030 you’ll be paying an average of 35% more for your privately-owned & polluted water. Sign below if you think it’s time for water to be publicly owned. actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

My postbag has been filled with letters from constituents asking me to sign the #StopRosebank pledge. It's something I'm happy to back, because I support a just transition and fixing the UK’s broken energy system so we can mitigate climate breakdown through real solutions.

If Labour is serious about stopping the authoritarian right from filling the vacuum, it must rebuild trust by breaking with the very culture that is feeding public cynicism. bylinetimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

1/2 I've written to the Health Minister and Norfolk & Suffolk ICB about concerns raised during the merger of our local NHS boards. This reorganisation affects how care is delivered across both counties.

I am deeply shocked and saddened by the horrific attack outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Jewish community. We must stand together, resolute against antisemitism and hatred in all its forms. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

20 years on from the passing of Robin Cook, I delivered the Robin Cook Memorial Lecture. You can read the published version of my speech here. www.compassonline.org.uk/publications...

Public disillusionment with the political class isn’t a passing phase. It's the reality of a system where the dividing line between the state - and wealth, oligarchs and corporate power - has been systematically erased. Read my article for @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start. It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.

Along with 60 parliamentarians, I've written to the Prime Minister calling on him to abolish the two-child benefit cap. This policy continues to inflict severe and avoidable hardship on families across the country. Its abolition must be central to any credible child poverty strategy.

You can now watch 2025 Robin Cook Memorial Lecture on Youtube, delivered by Clive Lewis MP (@labourlewis.bsky.social). Robin was a fierce friend to Compass and a torchbearer for the human, alliance-based, radical social democracy that we need so desperately today. youtu.be/uB7wXawsgaU

"Farage & Tommy are fuelled by cheques from billionaires & promotion across their media empires." 🤜

Rosebank remains the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field. In January, the Edinburgh court ruled that its approval was unlawful due to the scale of the emissions involved. The Labour government now faces a decision on whether to re-approve the project under a revised regime.

The Prime Minister needs to clarify what legal advice has been received about the visit by Israel's President Isaac Herzog to the UK, and whether his entry is compatible with our obligations under the Genocide Convention.

Local media report that a group of 20 to 30 individuals put up dozens of flags across Norwich, including outside the Islamic community centre on Dereham Road, in what many residents described as an act of intimidation. www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2545503...

To transform the country and take on the populist right - Labour must offer a popular, principled and practical left politics for meaningful change. @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social, launching today, seeks to do this. Find out more in the link on the thread below.

We stand for the redistribution of power and wealth, the defence of human rights and dignity at home and abroad, the creation of a new political economy & much more. We’re thrilled to have @labourlewis.bsky.social join Mainstream as a founding signatory. www.mainstreamlabour.org/about

This week I led a debate in Parliament on living standards in the East of England. For too long, our region has been left behind — while an authoritarian right, bankrolled by speculative capital, big tech, and dirty energy, fuels fear and scapegoating to divide us. youtu.be/grttlz7ZCN0

Deeply concerned that changes to trans rights could be approved without MPs or the public seeing details. This risks undermining accountability on issues affecting lives and freedoms. Proposals must face scrutiny before approval. Everyone deserves to know what’s being decided in their name.

Instead fixing Thames Water at the billpayers’ expense just to flog it off to another vulture capitalist … Why not simply bring it back into public ownership? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Experts say you've been misled about the true cost of public ownership of water. 1/4

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege. That’s the scam of privatised water. Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors. inews.co.uk/news/consume...

Excellent letter from experts from the People's Commission contesting the Government's figures on bringing water back into public ownership. The appropriate value would actually be closer to zero. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
