Any government that wants to end the cost of living crisis will come into conflict with very rich people. But it’s easier to get things done that public discourse would have us believe. My latest article. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

"Progressive policies are popular and urgently needed. But as Jamie Driscoll says, “we must guard against shoppinglistism.” Competency and collaboration can unlock a fairer society, but it takes hard work. 1/2

This government has once again proven it isn't on your side. It's on the side of big business and the rich. Join Majority today to fight for the workers rights that this Labour government has failed to deliver.

It’s a pity that Starmer, Reeves and co haven’t followed Denmark’s other policies. They tax capital gains up to 42% vs Britain’s top rate of 28%. This funds free university and excellent public services, providing the world’s second highest standard of living. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

NHS trusts are locked into £21.1bn in payments to private firms over 20 years. That’s public money diverted from staff, patients, and repair work, drained by PFI contracts across 69 NHS trusts and 96 buildings instead of frontline care. everydoctor.org.uk/n... 1/10

"Majority legends! ✊🏼 Come rain or shine (luckily it was shine today), our hardy Majority members hit the streets every week. First talking to shoppers at our street stall, then standing together with refugees at the regular anti-racism demo. 1/3

"This is the continuation (and expansion) of a trend by oil and gas developers to roll back on environmental commitments. It started with flagship offshore wind projects being cancelled, delayed or sold. www.reuters.com/sust... 1/5

Starmer’s Labour is using Brexit to benefit big businesses. This is why our NHS is getting weaker, our public sector is shrinking, services failing, and local government is underfunded. But it doesn’t have to be this way – together, we can change this.

This amendment to the Crime and Policing bill is a shameful attack on the right to protest by this Labour government. Everyone who values freedom of speech should firmly stand against this Orwellian legislation. www.libertyhumanrigh...

A huge victory for progressive policies and a beacon of hope in dark times. “For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands. 1/3

My take on the Caerphilly by-election. Persistent grassroots campaigning on community issues shows that Reform have no answers. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Teesside offshore wind workers strike! ✊🏼 @gmb.org.uk members picketing today, fighting for fair pay and conditions. Supporting alongside @fbunational.bsky.social, Social Justice Party, @friends-earth.bsky.social and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social Let’s fight for good green jobs in the North East

I would like to coin the phrase ‘fake crusader’. The fake crusader is someone who shouts angrily at an injustice for just long enough to get attention and feel self-righteous. Despite having no track record of actually doing anything about it.

Labour Party Closing Down Sale. Last week we witnessed the Labour Party Conference. Or, as some people are calling it, The Labour Party closing down sale. 1/9

The Durham Book Group is meeting this Thursday 9th October, 6.30 - 8 pm at the People's Bookshop, 19 High Street, Durham DH1 3UJ.

British people want leaders they can be proud of. Patriotism would be taking water back into public ownership. It would cost nothing. Simply enforce the fines. Share prices would drop to zero. And the government would look like it has a backbone. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

When 150 far-right tried to march through Newcastle yesterday, 3000 Geordies stopped them. I’m proud of our city and its people. My article is a first-hand account of the day. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

Today Newcastle stood united. ✊🏼 The far-right were in town trying to spread their hate and division. Only about 200 turned up. Over 3000 canny geordies, including dozens of Majority members stopped them marching and sent them packing! #TheyDidNotPass #NaePasaran

📣TOMORROW📣 Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson will be in the toon tomorrow with Nick Tenconi and his UKIP pals. They seek to divide us and turn us against each other. But we won’t let them. Let’s turn out in force and show them who we are in the North East!

📣Victory! 📣 Advance UK conference in #Newcastle cancelled. Their leader convicted drug dealer & violent thug, Tommy Robinson, won’t appear - huge thanks to Majority members on the frontline & community groups & campaigners leading the fight. #NotInOurCity #WeAreTheMajority

Zarah Sultana speaking to the BBC at the Majority Conference

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for winning the Green party leadership with a stunning 84.6% of the vote. There is a real appetite for genuine change in this country, and a broad progressive coalition will bring it. We look forward to working with Zack and the Greens in the future!

One hundred days in, Reform-led councils have banned non-Union flags, reversed climate-action, cut green energy and scrutinised library content—symbolic moves, little substance. How are any of these policies addressing our real issues like welfare, the NHS, housing?

⏰ 5 days to go!

Labour, the Tories, and Reform are all in cahoots, pushing xenophobic rhetoric. The elite scapegoat refugees and immigrants for problems stemming from their own policies. Let's rally for a fresh left-wing alliance to combat these damaging practices. www.bbc.com/news/art....
