There was no protective ring around care homes; but there obviously is one around Michelle Mone and Dido Harding

Taxpayers foot the £2,700 a month rent on Kemi Badenoch's six-bedroom farmhouse in Essex. Then she goes on telly and argues that taxpayers shouldn't subsidise other people's rent.

Nothing, except to lay groundwork for the next fascist counter reaction in 2028. This is why we need an actual people-powered alternative to the parties of war and Wall Street.
Mark this post: Democrats will do nothing meaningfully transformative with their midterm majorities.

If true this is outrageous. It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds. Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore. Labour stand for the hedge funds.
🚨BREAKING The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company. A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground. The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff. This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard. 112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water. A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration. And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way. @andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials. This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises? NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

Really? You could start by making it legal to protest genocide in the UK.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking. The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

The reason the mainstream media is so angry about the Green Party talking about economic issues is because they would like to pretend the Green Party is a little fringe group of middle-class voters who want to save the trees. Turns out the Green Party wants to save society too.

I know many of us have our reservations re the Greens because of all the traitors who sold us out in Labour but listening to Zack Polanski, I can’t see he is going to backtrack on his beliefs that the Israelis are carrying out a genocide. I think it’s time to back him.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?” Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism. Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners. Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza. The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

The BBC’s veteran World Affairs Editor has made a remarkable discovery: Israel’s strategy is ethnic cleansing and land theft. I hope the BBC is paying him well. It takes real investigative talent to uncover these things.

Hi @bbclaurak, Zionism has resulted in the bombing of children & the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza. Again - the actual controversy is the Labour Government are arming that & the BBC 'debate' if it's racist. How's that for answering the question?
