It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed to Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town and meet with women who have been fighting for change for so many years. The work women do is too often ignored and devalued - I gave my promise that as MP here I'll stand with them.

"Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now."
PRIVATISED WATER HAS FAILED. WE NEED PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW.

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"The Prime Minister is right that water must be run for public good and not profit and that the public is very clear that water should be taken back into public control and end the scandal of sewage in our rivers and seas. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s words in his speech today gave no commitment to this, just that at some point in the future there will be more regulation. This isn’t good enough. 

Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now so we can start to fix the crumbling infrastructure."

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.
HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

We’re in Liverpool for #labourpartyconference. Andy Burnham says he’s empowering people to tackle the climate crisis. Welcome words - but we want to hear how Labour will get the UK off costly oil and gas, stop billionaires profiting while people and planet pay, and secure a fairer future for all.

Today’s speech from the Chancellor shows Labour offering more of the same. We need real action to tackle extreme wealth inequality in this country and make the super-rich pay their fair share.
Headline reads: “It’s time to tackle extreme wealth inequality.”
Quote from Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire:
“The Chancellor used his speech today to repeatedly stress a message of new leadership offering new hope, yet when it came to the substance behind the rhetoric, Britain was once again left with more of the same.
“He made no mention of the extraordinary wealth inequality holding our country back, nor did he state any ambitions for fair taxation of wealth.
“A government serious about fixing our economy cannot afford to look the other way while the uber-rich accumulate ever-more wealth and dodge paying their fair share.”

In contrast, Ukraine's president as recently as August 26 praised the Prime Minister of Israel.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
@ZelenskyyUa
I received warm congratulations for the people of Ukraine from Prime Minister @netanyahu of Israel. Our countries share deep bonds - between our people in the first place, but also in the economy, culture, and other areas. It is therefore good to hear of Israel's desire to strengthen these existing ties. We count on working fruitfully together to bring about more security.
 
PRIME MINISTER
August 24, 2026
Dear Mr. President,
I extend my warmest congratulations to you and the people of Ukraine on the occasion of your 35th Independence Day.

Time's up on Thames Water. Since privatisation in 1989, Thames has handed out over £10 billion to shareholders, while racking up over £20 billion in debt. Now a consortium of US hedge funds want to take control... Get private profit out of water. Nationalisation now.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

NATIONALISATION NOW.

In the centre of the graphic is a screenshot of a Zack Polanski BlueSky post, which reads: Thames Water has long passed its notice period. Labour can use its massive majority to nationalise it right now.

THE CORROSIVE REVOLVING DOOR BETWEEN POLITICS AND BIG BUSINESS LOBBYING

SIAN BERRY
MP FOR BRIGHTON PAVILION

“Palantir, with its work for ICE in the US and the IDF, has no business at all in our NHS and public services.

Tom Watson has been employed to lobby his friends in the Labour Government.

It is a disgrace he is still a member of the House of Lords and holds the Labour whip.”
