“More than 100,000 households are living in temporary accommodation in England, and the UK now has the worst homelessness problem in the developed world when they are taken into account.” A national disgrace.

Even to those who’ve not shown a great interest in what’s happening, it must be clear now that what is taking place in Gaza is ethnic cleansing - the attempted wiping out of a whole population: mondoweiss.net/2025/05/israel

đŸ“ș Our CEO, Jess Mullen, just appeared on Channel 5 News to discuss youth custody. Not all of our points made it in, but this is key: The MoJ must commit to closing YOIs & STCs — and set out a long-term plan where custody is a last resort for children. 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=9qMbWZ

My call for an independent inquiry into the UK's role in Gaza has passed its 1st reading in Parliament. We will establish the truth over the UK’s complicity in genocide - and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

UK military aircraft have been deployed to the Middle East. The UK continues to train IDF troops. UK arms sales to Israel continue. Bolstering Israel's military in this way—even as the Gaza genocide continues—completely undermines the UK government's calls for de-escalation.

This is not the solution đŸ€Ź Changing the sign on the regulator’s office building will not reverse the damage of 35 years of privatisation! ONLY public ownership will do that. ✅

Derivates markets don't trade debts like stocks but the risks associated with creditworthiness and interest rates. Given that we don't need the traders' taxes to pay for public spending, am I alone in thinking this speculation is fundamentally immoral and parasitic activity?

Ten years ago today ... Jeremy Corbyn won the Labour leadership by a landslide on 12 September 2015. Oh, for those heady days of competent leadership and popular policies ...

Anyone who supports ID cards on the grounds that “if you’ve got nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about” should be banned from having curtains.

.Zack Polanski is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

The biggest problem with our energy bills is privatisation - the privatisation of energy production, of energy transmission and energy suppliers.
