This is not about red rosettes or green rosettes, this is about how we fix the country. “Hostage Nation is about escaping four words: ‘we can’t afford it’. Excellent article in @labour-hub.bsky.social on a major report from our very own @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social Take a look, take action 👇🏼

“We can’t afford it” is the biggest lie in British politics. The money for warm homes, decent transport and lower bills already exists. @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social, explains to @bylinetimes.bsky.social how to escape those four words that have done so much damage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQhf...

Four years ago tomorrow was the Truss mini-budget. Every day another news story says Britain is under pressure from global instability. Why can’t we just build homes, and clean energy, with secure jobs? Turns out the answer is even better than I thought. See what you think. HostageNation.com

Far-right figures exploit Henry Nowak’s murder to push a racist ‘two-tier policing’ myth. Evidence shows policing is harsher on Black communities, while crime patterns track poverty and geography, not race – and knife killings are actually falling.

ff I left school at 16. As a mature student I got an
engineering degree at Northumbria University. As North of Tyne Mayor I created thousands of real living wage jobs and built affordable homes. In my 5 years as Mayor I claimed £O expenses.
Councillors should be shop stewards for the community in the council, not cheerleaders for the council in the community. I've been an anti-racist campaigner since the late 1980's. I'm pro-trans and LGBTQ+ rights and a White Ribbon ambassador, the campaign for men to speak out against violence against women and girls.

Despite its muttering to the contrary, Labour is constantly increasing the role of the private sector in the NHS, and eroding our public NHS services. Perhaps this might help explain why that is happening. Find out more here:
A graph showing that Labour MPs received nearly £2,500,000 from private healthcare between January 2023 and Sept 2025  - almost 5 times as much as all other MPs combined.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
