Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
Lower bills.
Protect the NHS.

This is probably one of the most important pieces I have ever written. Robert Lowe MP is proposing the forced expulsion of millions of people from the UK. Full-on fascism is being put before people. We have to decide. Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience.
Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

In the constituency, embittered labour campaigners have started their slow march into an "inevitable defeat." The wording comes from HQ themselves who are briefing journalists they don't expect to win m
Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.
The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.
Get Palantir out of the UK.
Protect our NHS.
Protect our country.
