She is a landlord. So a conflict of interest there

In addition these ex-council properties are, more often than not, VERY badly maintained, which was not the case when they were in control of the LA pre-1980
Renters paying a large proportion of a low income for shitty precarious housing

p.s. 76 MPs make more than £10,000/yr renting out property

UN experts urge United Kingdom not to misuse terrorism laws against protest group Palestine Action GENEVA – UN experts* today urged the United Kingdom not to ban the “direct action” group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.“We are concerned at the unjustified ...

But why is the group proscribed? Because the U.K. has a definition of terrorism in law that is not terrorism- laws drafted & enacted by Labour governments
Cooper is guilty of gross authoritarian overreach
Please stop defending the indefensible

Today, one in six private tenants in England rents a former council home, paying substantially higher rents for the same homes.

Just imagine Israel did this to your child.

It makes regular bling seem pretty tasteful

I don’t dispute the harm on the mining communities- I live in South Wales
But right to buy has ended up putting people around the whole country into rent poverty and housing precariousness, including children. That’s also generational harm, but more widespread.

“What does it say about America that the most talented African-American of the century, a scholar, athlete, artist and human rights activist, a man whose singing voice sent chills through those who heard it and who mastered thirteen languages could be turned into a non-person ..?”

No
It’s what happens when you pretend socialism is the biggest crime going but fascism is OK
The US has been doing this for years
Even in the Black community - look at the erasure of Paul Robeson from the history of civil rights
I think more people remember him in S Wales than in the US!

Mines would close eventually
Thatcher did it in as brutal a way as possible, without a care for mining communities, in her war to break the unions
But the loss of social housing has had a profoundly -ve impact on the lives of low earners & their families all over the UK for 40 yrs
Not comparable

Her biggest crime was right-to-buy and the subsequent massive loss of social housing

I don't know how you can say that blatantly discriminating against trans people is not discrimination, but that's the UK now.

Don't think for a second it will stop with trans people.

We've been telling you this for a decade.

This is what comes of trying to beat the far right by the left moving ever further rightwards
Or, if you like, the glorification of the “sensible” centre ground.
Didn’t work in Germany in the 1920-30s
Didn’t work in the USA (Clinton opened that door)
And it won’t work here either.

They are discriminated against even in law, which has made traditional ways of life impossible- a sort of cultural genocide
Her minimising this was regrettable

..have some of the worst health outcomes of any ethnic group

I agree - of course black people experience racism differently to white ethnic groups experiencing racially based discrimination

Always take risks

It’s estimated that half a million Americans declare bankruptcy every year due to medical debt.

Farage wants us paying for medical insurance and a privatised NHS.

Is this something you want in the UK?
We don’t.

Take note #DavidLammy

Israel seems to have created an incredibly unpleasant society
When cruelty, hatred, & lack of empathy are the norm, that’s hardly a place from which to build healthy relationships, even with one’s own children

Is this true? I can only find it reported on personal social media posts, not anywhere else

It can do
She’s blunt enough about Trump
Why not about the state of American democracy?

No I’m not
I get the links
But she is implying the US is still a functioning democracy with a little bit of slippage, whereas it’s far worse than that
