Around 50% of PIP applicants came from people in work in 2023, but only 41% of them were successful. Working people are one of the groups least likely to pass an assessment.

It’s now confirmed: the vote on disability cuts will be next week. So next Monday in Parliament, I’ll be presenting my petition for a Wealth Tax - not disability cuts. Over 70,000 have already signed! Let's get as many as possible. Add your name today: chng.it/ztV8MqDHVQ

Non-violent direct action has long been used in Britain as a tactic against injustice and war, from the Suffragettes to Greenham Common and opposition to the Iraq war. Conflating direct action with terrorism is a dangerous development & should worry everyone who values democracy.

NEW: A reasoned amendment to the welfare bill is being tabled by 13 Labour committee chairs as first reported by Romilly Weeks It creates a big problem for Keir Starmer & Liz Kendall with around 80 Labour MPs already backing the amendment. If selected, it would give them

Alongside around 100 MPs, including 13 committee chairs, I have put my name to this reasoned amendment that declines to pass the government’s welfare reforms and calls for a pause and further consultation.

Ahead of a crucial vote on cuts to disability benefits, our new evidence casts doubt on whether jobs are even available for disabled people facing cuts 📢 The analysis found that the parts of the country among the hardest hit by the cuts have fewer job opportunities 1/3

Despite Liz Kendall and other cabinet ministers being locked in talks trying to convince welfare rebels not to vote down the bill, I'm told the number of Labour MPs planning to do so has actually gone up - from 108 to 127.

I'm calling on the Government to urgently rethink its proposed changes to welfare. Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

What do you do with a £3 billion bailout if you're Thames Water? Hand out £117,000+ average per boss! TAKE BACK THAMES WATER to take back the bonuses

Social housing funds itself, with mortgages repaid many times over by future rental income. It's crazy that a Labour government doesn't let councils build council housing.

Water is a precious resource Every penny should be invested in stopping leaks and sewage but right now a THIRD of your bills pays for shareholder dividends and debt repayment 9/10 countries run water in public ownership, England should do the same

Chinese firm a leading contender to buy Thames Water. 90% of water already owned from abroad. Tax on dividends dodged. Any private ownership will mean quest for profits, dividends, neglect, fleecing. Public ownership is the only way forward. theguardian.com/business/2025/…
