2.9m emergency food parcels provided by food banks to Britons facing hunger. 1.8m to families with children. Shameful statistics. Real wage/benefit cut, profiteering takes toll. 16m live in poverty. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined. Must redistribute.

Our great friend Trump, with whom we have a very special relationship, just announced he intends to put a 100% tariff on any and all films produced "in Foreign Lands" (sic). At what point will Labour give up trying to sell out Britain for a lousy US trade deal, and read him the riot act?
