Labour say their economic plan is working. Who for? Families trying to put food on the table? Renters facing yet another rent hike? Billpayers lining the pockets of water company shareholders? It's time for the Government to get real on the cost of living crisis.

Yet another reminder of how vulnerable our reliance on fossil fuel makes us, and how absurd it is that the UK artificially links the retail price of cheap, clean renewables to expensive, dirty gas.

These plans are cruel and immoral. Refugees deserve to be able to rebuild their lives instead they'll have to live in uncertainty for years. The Gorton and Denton by-election showed that voters don't like these policies either.

Last year from January to June 471 people were killed or seriously injured on the roads in Birmingham, UK- and that was celebrated as an 18% reduction on the year before. Population is bigger than Brussels (9 deaths) but smaller than Berlin (55 deaths). We have so much further to go.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Reform want ICE-style deportations in the UK β the kind that have wreaked havoc in the US. Instead of standing up to this Trump tribute act, Labour is echoing it. And it wonβt fix whatβs broken. Inequality is the problem β and only the Greens have a plan to confront it.
