Labour Minister Chris Ward says Andy Burnham can’t do much because there’s ’no money’. This nonsense is why Labour fails. The 50 richest families own as much wealth as 50% of population. Don’t let Labour tell you it’s not possible to transfer this obscene wealth into the hands of the many.

This isn't normal. While this government is in chaos, its failure to protect people from extreme heat will cost lives. We need maximum workplace temperatures to protect workers and cool spaces so the vulnerable aren't exposed.

Keir Starmer says scrapping the 2 child benefit cap is his proudest moment as PM Starmer could have scrapped the cap on day one of becoming PM. Instead he suspended 7 Labour MPs for voting to scrap it & the govt had to be dragged kicking & screaming to do it over 20 months later

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

Dear Labour supporters. If you want to put me off voting Green rather than Labour, the key is *not* to attack the Greens, but to ask yourself why I, a life-long Labour supporter, who has voted Labour at every GE since 1983 (my first), can't support Labour. Look at yourselves. Look at your party.
