Renewable energy has never been cheaper to produce. But if we allow prices to be set by foreign energy companies and remain pegged to gas, the British people won’t see the benefits. Jamie Driscoll’s brilliant new report, #HostageNation, shows there is another way. 1/2

If we allow volatile bond markets to dictate whether we build schools and railways, we remain hostage to the whims of foreign trading floors, not the needs of the British people. Jamie Driscoll’s brilliant new report, #HostageNation, proves there is another way.👇 1/2

Fiscal rules don’t manage public finances; they manage public expectations. They tell us ‘we can’t afford it’. Britain is awash with money, but it needs to be put to work to rebuild our country. Jamie Driscoll’s brilliant new report, #HostageNation, explains how. 👇 1/2

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 👇🏼

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.
