No more statements of condemnation. No more “keeping dialogue open” to allow trickles of aid deliveries. No more complicity in ethnic cleansing and genocide. We call on every government in the world to urgently suspend trade and sanction Israel NOW.

The current GOP echoes the McCarthy era, where dissent was a crime. As Howard Zinn said, "Protest is the voice of the unheard." We must resist the red state tyranny with liberal ideals. #blueresistance

Thames Water MP pledge, which says "Make Thames Water public. I pledge that if and when Thames Water comes into Special Administration, I will back permanent public ownership. I will say no to re-privatisation."

⚠️The writing's on the wall for Thames Water.
Government is stepping up plans for temporary nationalisation. It's starting to look inevitable.

MPs need to pledge that they will 'Make Thames Water Public' & fight against any discounted sell-off back to the private profiteers.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Farage flogged Britain a load of bollocks, and laughed all the way to the bank. Kevin Maguire brands them “plastic patriots” - gutless chancers who’ve left the country skint, weaker, and stuck with their mess.

This is actually diabolical. Plus wouldn't it be amazing if third sector charities, who work with real people every day, front line services, were given the opportunity to learn from inside govt. and civil servants were sent on secondment to us.

'To end austerity, wealth taxes are a moral and economic necessity' - LabourList Wealth taxes aren’t a silver bullet but they are a crucial piece in the puzzle, helping raise the money needed to deliver real change and signal to the public that we are on their side.

@bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social is right.

“The moral & political case for wealth taxes is overwhelming—but they are also simply a practical necessity. Delivering change doesn’t come cheap.”

It’s time the Chancellor listened to her colleagues— and 75% of the UK public.

Dear Mr Davie, I am writing on behalf of the Co-operative Party to raise serious concerns following your organisation’s refusal to disclose information relating to the representation of Labour & Co-operative MPs across BBC platforms. In response to our Freedom of Information request (OOS2025/01201), the BBC declined to provide any data or records regarding how often MPs elected as Labour & Co-operative have been referred to as simply “Labour” in news broadcasts, articles, or social media. In the response, you cited the journalistic exemption contained in Schedule 1, Part VI of the FOI Act. The question of how elected representatives are labelled, and whether that labelling is consistent with what appeared on the ballot paper, is not a niche editorial concern. It is a matter of democratic accuracy and institutional trust. The Co-operative Party is Britain’s fourth-largest party by number of MPs. Our elected representatives stood and were elected on a joint platform with the Labour Party. That designation is not symbolic; it is a reflection of over a century of joint working and joint mandate. While the FOI response declined to quantify these instances, the scale of omission is visible and widespread, and has been raised repeatedly by our members, elected representatives, and supporters.

We are therefore requesting the following: 1. A meeting between the Co-operative Party and relevant BBC editorial leads to discuss this issue in detail; 2. A review of current editorial guidelines and tagging policies related to joint-party designations, including how Labour & Co-operative MPs are presented; 3. Clarity on whether the BBC maintains any internal data or monitoring procedures that cover this form of political identification. We look forward to working with you to address this matter. Yours sincerely, Joe Fortune General Secretary Co-operative Party

🚨 NEW: The Co-operative Party is Britain’s fourth-largest party in Parliament.

But in BBC output, our representatives are often labelled simply as “Labour”.

We asked how often this happens, but the BBC refused to say.

Today, we’re asking for answers.

MPs have received over £300,000 in donations from companies that are already making money from providing services to the NHS 🚨
