Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water? It’s time to bring water back into public hands. Watch the debate here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gIOTHnvxEI

New Zealand have banned Greyhound racing to stop these dogs being injured or worse. Now I'm calling on the UK Government to do the same. 244 Greyhounds were put to sleep, let's stop that from happening again. Add your name:

Labour are mugging pensioners again, this time after a conducting a cynical campaign of lies about how they would correct the injustice and give fair compensation to the WASPI women who had their pensions stolen.

Facebook have announced they can't be bothered fact-checking popular posts on their site anymore, which is another step towards post-truth politics.

Political donations are institutionalized bribery. Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power. Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

It is important to recognise and value the protest efforts of Israeli’s distressed at the actions of the right wing government.

It's hard to articulate what makes someone feel safe - because it IS a feeling NOT a place. But I can pretty much guarantee that the ability to communicate, work/ provide for yourself or be part of a community is a key part. It's not something we can put a price on nor should we decide for others.

Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is £22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at £11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable! #GMB www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Good to see lots of European Countries leading the way on supporting international law... ...where the US won't and the UK drags its feet.

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling. The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?

📢BREAKING: The Int. Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu & former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity. The UK gov must, legally, back the warrants. Make sure it does: secure.waronwant.org/page/161679/...

Cheap imported honey has fillers and therefore cannot be classified as honey!

ICC arrest warrant: If Gallant or Netanyahu step foot in the UK they must be arrested & sent for trial for crimes against humanity The UK is an ICC signatory. A Lab Govt must uphold this decision, unambiguously Failure to agree to this makes a mockery of multilateralism & the so-called ‘rule of law’

🚨 BREAKING: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity in Gaza. The US and UK governments must immediately suspend all arms sales to Israel.

I had such a blast working with John. Especially on PMQs I often wished I was as robust as him. He didn't take any sh*t. I'm getting there John 😍 thanks for the life lessons and may you rest in peace 🙏🏾

Israel is working with ISIS-affiliated armed gangs to starve the people of Gaza. These are the shocking revelations coming out of the Israeli media and other sources. New video on a genocide committed in plain sight 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPah...

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

The Independent Alliance of MPs have sent the following letter to Starmer in response to his appalling dismissal of a question about genocide at last week’s PMQs

Retired NHS surgeon & professor of transplantation surgery Nizam Mamode giving eye witness testimony from his time as a volunteer at Nasser Hospital in Gaza in August gave his view on Kid Starvers apparent confusion over what constitutes genocide. It seems to be colour coded.....

Islamophobia has become brutally divisive in the UK and failure to challenge its root causes will lead to more racist riots, the head of the UK’s leading race equality thinktank has said. www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...

Starmer and Lammy both used to know what genocide was, I wonder what happened to turn them into genocide deniers?

Killing Palestinians appears to have become a tourist attraction for Israelis. 😡😡😡
