Billionaires should not own social media platforms. Billionaires should not run our newspapers. Billionaires should not control our politics. A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it
Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients aren’t bothered about ‘choosing their healthcare provider’. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS🚨 …

Instead of using the last days of his presidency to call for peace, Joe Biden has poured more money into arming Israel’s destruction of Gaza. A shameful indictment of his administration and its complicity in genocide.

If you are ordering the evacuation of life saving hospitals, you are clearly in the wrong. Who left in the world doesn't see this genocide for what it is? So why on earth are the UK, US and so many others still supporting genocide? It is illegal and immoral. Not in my name.

Anyone think Starmer is a Farage enabler ? In my mind it was obvious from the moment he gifted him a seat after getting the popular Labour candidate to stand down plus the way he has alienated almost everyone since reinforces that thought

Today two of the State of Israel's most high-profile UK assets — Luciana Berger and Mike Katz were placed in the House of Lords after multiple rejections by the electorate. It is deeply alarming that Jewish supremacists can decide who should make laws in the so called ‘Sovereign’ Britain.

If Labour don’t want Reform to gain a huge amount of political ground, they’re going to have to shift to the left and start delivering measurable change for the public. It’s not about Starmer ‘struggling with his narrative’ or any of the other nonsense spouted by centrist commentators.

It is beyond disappointing that Liz Kendall has rejected any compensation for the WASPI women. First, the government cuts winter fuel. Now this? Whose side is the government on? WASPI women have been disgracefully cheated out of their pensions — and they deserve justice.

I think we should cancel the MP's ridiculous final salary Pensions, a ripoff that we can't afford. We will give them the pittance they put in back, and tell them just before we do it, so we told them in advance. Fine for the WASPI women, fine for them I say.

Jack and the Brexit
A new deal with the EU? Is that the deal in which we get our own veto, our own vote and our own rebate; in which we keep our own currency and aren't part of the Schengen area? No, it seems not. We had a better deal than any other country in the club, and we threw it away for some magic beans and a blue passport.
