A year ago today I had the Labour whip suspended for voting to scrap the 2 child benefit cap. Scrapping the cap would lift 350,000 children out of poverty & reduce poverty for another 700,000. Would I vote again to scrap it? Too right I would.Definitely, I will every chance I get

I will never vote Labour again. Not in my lifetime. I will never forget the skeletal faces of starving children—cut off from food just beyond a sealed border. A border kept closed by choice. I will never forget the silence bought by political donations—or blind loyalty that bind

Most wars have military fatality rates between the two sides at 2-1 or less. Israel v Gaza is at about 1-100. That's because it is not a war, it's a Genocide and it's civilians they are murdering.

Want to save billions from the welfare budget? Raise wages. Over 40% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. Stop subsidising employers. Start funding people. #RealLivingWage #FairWelfare

"It's wrong to bomb a refugee camp but clearly if there is a military objective it can be legally justifiable". These were the words of David Lammy after Israel killed over 50 civilians in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza👇 declassifieduk.org/david-lammy-fr…

"As the calamity of Israel’s onslaught against Gaza becomes apparent, those who cheered it on will panic about reputational damage and plead their earlier ignorance. Do not let them get away with it this time." I wrote this on 24th October 2023. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Until the 1980's Children's Care homes were run by the Government Now 84% are private with an average 22% of the money they get going straight to profits, never being spent on a child. The rest is wasted on ridiculous contracts, costing an average of £281,000 a year per child.

In March 2023, I wrote that a party of the left could receive union affiliations, become the largest party by membership, and poll at 5-10%. If trade unions disaffiliate from Labour, I think the Corbyn-Sultana party could *overtake* Labour (already polling within single digits).

Disinformation spread online, including from MPs, is having serious consequences offline. Social media companies are profiting from amplifying racist hate. It’s not enough to condemn racist violence: we need to name where it comes from and who profits from it.

Advice from someone that fumbled two leadership bids, is nicknamed “Colonel Calamity”, and allegedly thought it was funny to joke about spiking his wife’s drink with a date-rape drug? I’ll pass, thanks.
