People who dismiss the 500,000 people signing up for the new ‘YourParty’ as joining a mailing list, need to remember Corbyn attracted 400,000 new members to Labour when he took over as leader. Since 2019 Labour last lost 300,000 members.

The vote on disability cuts could take place in the next few weeks.

I've launched a petition for a Wealth Tax, not disability cuts.

I'll be presenting this in Parliament ahead of the vote.

It's already at nearly 70,000! Add you name below chng.it/ztV8MqDHVQ

Nationalisation is the only way to fix the crisis in the water industry Despite the damning evidence the government is clinging on to private ownership of water, which has fleeced customers for 36 years.

35 years of England water privatisation.

Industry controlled by companies with 1,135 criminal convictions.
1trn litres water a year lost in leaks.
Sewage dumped in rivers for 3.62m hrs a year.
£85bn dividends, £70bn+ debt, people fleeced
Last decade, £112m exec bonuses .

Must end privatisation.

Jonathan Cook on Substack A minute's silence for each of the children murdered by Israel in Gaza would extend to over 300 hours. Powerful speech to the UN from Daniel Levy, a former Israeli government adviser.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

Instead of tackling poverty, the political elite use it as a weapon. They pit working people against each other encouraging us to blame migrants, the sick, disabled people, the unemployed to justify cutting support and funneling money to the rich. We need real political change.

It’s beyond SkyNews to say Israel blockades humanitarian aid to Gaza - instead of blockade it says ‘ceases entry’ 😡😡😡

This is such a weird attack on Jeremy.

Just wait until I draft my letter to you about the £4 million donation that your party took from Quadrature Capital (arms deals, oil & gas, gambling.)

Labour MPs are oddly silent about that - I'm sure you'll agree there's "no room for ambiguity."

Energy network owners have made £3.9bn ‘excess profit’ from higher bills, says report Citizens Advice believes Ofgem made flawed interest rate calculation for companies in Great Britain

😡 ⁦‪⁦‪Ofgem‬⁩ aren’t fit for purpose. After they let energy network providers make £3.9 billion in ‘excess profit’ their response was ‘well it only added a few pounds to your household bill’ 🤯
