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

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.
