If the Chancellor is raising taxes in November then she must start with raising them on us, the super rich. No ifs, no buts, no questions: we are the only ones left who can afford to contribute more.

The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. ๐Ÿคฌ

This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. ๐Ÿค‘

Dear Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, 

I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering.

Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks.

To transform the country and take on the populist right, Labour must heed the voices of its radical realists - and build a principled, practical, popular left alternative.
