The committee seeks answers on: · the lack of full impact assessments. · the impact on women, younger people, and global majority people. · the risk of increasing poverty rate. · the inadequacy of the public consultation. · the lack of involvement of deaf and disabled people’s organisations.

The Government said it’d cost £99bn to publicly own our water. But this drew on calculations by — drumroll — water company lobbyists. The true cost is closer to zero. Here’s why. 🧵

I've decided to join the @Green.Party.org.uk as they are the only alternative Party I see to counter Reform and actuallly bring back Climate Justice to the centre of politics as Labour has totally failed for too long and is now a Party with racist and discriminatory policies. join.greenparty.org.uk

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Hours before his 90-day tariff pause announcement. The President of the United States is literally engaging in the world's biggest market manipulation scheme.

📢🚫NO to disability benefit cuts! #WelfareNotWarfare GMLC staff and volunteers joined Manchester DPAC, GM Coalition of Disabled People, GM Tenants Union, Unite, Unison and others today in central Manchester to protest against the government's proposed attacks on disabled people's lives.

My full statement on today's Spring Statement: #WelfareNotWarfare

Charlie Mayfield, #KeepBritainWorking review boss, was invited by Today Radio 4 to talk about #Welfare cuts. Focus was on employer support for workers with mental health conditions. Well needed indeed but if you get ill, you go on occupational ir statutory sick pay not disability benefit #LCWRA

'Targeting “cost savings” on disability benefits is not only immoral, it is the opposite of everything a Labour government is supposed to be.' My column for the @theipaper.com ... inews.co.uk/opinion/what...

@paulnowaktuc.bsky.social TUC General Secretary on #Disability cuts planned by Labour: "We must not make the same mistake again. Pushing disabled people into hardship with cuts to support will only make the current challenges worse and will not win public support." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The extreme hoarding of wealth is sociopathic. Example below. It amazes me that people can argue the toss that hospital cleaners shouldn’t get sick pay from day one, and argue just as vehemently that the super rich shouldn’t be asked to pay their fair share of tax.

Daily Mirror: Council house waiting list could reach 2 MILLION in the next decade The UK needs to build more public housing & tax those w/ surplus housing wealth. See our chart below on how many council houses we could've had today if public housebuilding had continued at 70s levels.

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

I am fearful of the calls for welfare cuts when we have 16 million people & 5 million children classified as living in poverty. This would play into the hands of Reform. We need to address the grotesque levels of inequality in our society.

L'industrie du plastique sait défendre ses intérêts. Pour la deuxième fois, elle a obtenu l'annulation de l'interdiction des emballages autour des fruits et légumes. Et ce, malgré la promesse de Macron. Il faut croire qu'il s'était un peu... emballé !
