Everyday people cannot pay any more, they need to go to the wealthiest in our society and also change the fiscal rules so that we can borrow to invest. #WealthTax #Budget2026

Accountability is the issue: of corporations & states, not just individuals. Without it democracy doesn't work. @chrish9070 @CastletonLee @stillawake @AilishSinclair @sheilaoliver16 @DanicaPriest @HS2theTruth @daisyldixon @celinehenne @ConserverLiving @brucemcd23 @RegenerationEX
Piers Morgan: “What happens to a country like Russia, which committed war crimes emerges unpunished for any of this?” Jeffrey Sachs: “Well, if the US were punished for all its war crimes, the world would be a better place... if Israel was punished for its genocide...

Maybe the principle of rebuilding should also be applied to declining UK towns and cities instead of forever sprawling ("build baby build") into limited countryside and farm land? @Regenerate_SOT @SmartGrowthUK @HereforHereford @no_expressway @OurWestgate @greenarteries @RosieP4
The reconstruction of Frankfurt’s old town helped preserve the city’s history and culture

Scrapping jury trials will not reduce the backlog but will create a two tier system of criminal “justice”. @DavidLammy must scrap these plans now. They are unfunded, unworkable and undemocratic.
The CBA firmly opposes the Government’s proposal to erode the public’s fundamental right to trial by jury. The erosion of the right to jury trial will break the increasingly thin connection between the State and ordinary people, and risks undermining social cohesion and trust in

The Judge in the Palestine Action legal challenge has been removed, and replaced by 3 others. Two of them appear to have conflicts of interests, including Judge Victoria Sharp who has family connections to pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn. Chinn funded both Conservative and

Today, Labour is going to announce a return to PFI for the NHS- which is a total disaster. But they’ve renamed it the “NHS neighbourhood rebuild”. Don’t be fooled 🚨 I’ve explained what’s going on in this piece I’ve just written- https://t.co/pk3l6QGcBZ

Hi all, I've just reactivated social media to deliver important news. I am charged with supporting terrorism and face trial in January 2026, London after publishing an anti-Zionist legal analysis on X on the legal right to armed resistance to Israeli genocide. The Bar Standards

It's one thing to have your country brutally invaded. It's another to have the American President say you should be "grateful" to accept the "peace" deal drafted by the country butchering your people. Stay strong, President Zelensky. Freedom-loving people STILL stand with

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Democracy takes another step back. Deemed not worth the money. @paulpowlesland @JMPSimor @ZoeJardiniere @EuropeanPowell @ZackPolanski @TegidRoberts @stillawake
Imagine designing a policy so outrageous, so stupid, so destructive to our ancient liberties, history & constitution that you manage to unite an increasingly fractious & divided country in almost unanimous opposition against you. That is what this Labour government has achieved

Imagine China occupying California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon and then the EU telling America: “Make a deal with the occupier or we won’t support you.” Absurd, right? No country would accept that. Yet this is exactly what Ukraine is being told today. And let’s not forget:

Now there is a very good question.
@Feargal_Sharkey If you or I owned a company caught dumping 10 tonnes of plastic beads onto a Sussex beach we’d be arrested, charged and in court. Why hasn’t the CEO of Southern Water been arrested?

Yes, why @nationalgriduk? You always say in the media that you like to listen to communities yet all we have experienced is being ignored, even when practical solutions are put forward. Save these oaks.
Why @nationalgriduk are you ignoring the landowner who tells you your pylons haul road can go alongside these TPO'd mature oak trees, instead of seeking to destroy them?

@SaulStaniforth Absolutely — the double standard is glaring, and people notice it. When it comes to Ukraine, Westminster suddenly discovers the principle of self-determination; when it comes to Palestine, that principle mysteriously evaporates.
