In America today, wealth inequality has become so extreme that the top 1% now own as much stock and mutual funds as the bottom 99% combined. No democracy is sustainable when so few have so much while so many have so little. We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%.

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump. Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.

Britons don’t want any part of Trump’s war fixation – the sooner Labour realises that the better | Owen Jones

The fact that some low information underperforming individuals fail to recognize the value of international law does not diminish its importance to the vast majority of the global community.

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn.
