"We need an end to monarchy. Equality must become real. Citizens must gain ownership of the state. Politics must become about public service, โ€Šand the politics of care must replace the politics of privilege. This is cultural change as much as it is constitutional change.

We need to do this now."

Parliament is debating the use of private finance in the NHS today.

PFI has been a disaster for NHS Trust finances - leading to ยฃ80 billion repayments for just ยฃ13 bn actual investment.

With Keep Our NHS Public @KONP, we say the public should be consulted on all new finance initiatives. #NHS

Channel 4โ€™s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry As the drama shows, private firms no longer able to pollute the coast of England of Wales just switched to rivers instead

Excellent piece from Sandra Laville

"As Thames Water teeters on the edge of financial collapse, Hammond and Smith are pushing, alongside other campaigners, for the company to be put into special administration"

Is Australia in line with UK public feeling over Andrew Mountbatten Windsor? Australia has backed removing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor from the Royal line of succession.

Should Andrew be removed from the Royal line of succession - or should the whole Monarchy go? Andrew Mountbatten Windsor may be removed from the Royal line of succession, no matter what a police investigation into his activities decides.

Should Andrew be removed from the line of succession โ€“ or is this the moment to question the whole monarchy? Article - and polls!
