Why does Wirral have 7 of the 10 communities in England with the highest rates of depression ? "Over the years there's been a lack of investment in people and this is starting to show as a community that is struggling." www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

The older among you may remember that five decades ago there was another Labour Chancellor called Healey. Denis Healey famously threatened to "squeeze the rich until the pips squeak". Of course he did nothing of the kind, and neither will John Healey.

"One network, one vision, working in the interests of the 1.6 million people who call our city region home." We agree. People should come before profit. Merseyrail should be brought back under public ownership. railnews.mobi/news/2026/07...

Labour is no longer the party of working people, or of the unions. No amount of lobbying or bootlicking is going to change that. It's time to build a new party of and for the working class.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

No, voters don't want to see a new direction from Labour. They want Labour gone. The Labour ship is sinking. It will never float again. It's time for the big trade unions to disaffiliate from Labour and to look for a new home.

It's sickening seeing Reform UK gaining hundreds of seats all across the country. But Farage isn't having it all his own way. Reform's vote share is down from where it was in 2025. They were rejected by over 70% of voters. They are beatable. inews.co.uk/opinion/dont...

Don't be fooled by Farage's tricks, Reform is beatable
One of his most effective tricks is to make his victory feel inevitable. It is anything but

The Labour Party is no longer labour. It doesn't represent the vast majority of working class people. It's time to build a serious alternative. We say that this alternative must be democratic and it must be socialist.

What we saw on Monday night was a betrayal of the poorest sections of our communities. Labour Party councillors colluded with the Tories and Lib Dems to vote through huge cuts to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme.

Are your councillors in this list ? These 11 Wirral councillors are among over 1,100 across Britain who've signed the Pledge for Palestine. If your councillors names are missing, write to them today to ask what's stopping them from calling Israel out for its crimes of genocide.

I mean, it's good to see them actually listening to the public for once, but using parliamentary time to legislate on rules of hereditary succession - really ? Can someone please amend this bill to abolish the monarchy once and for all.

Here's how this works: A Reform government cuts the minimum wage, forcing thousands of workers onto benefits. They then say that there are too many "scroungers" claiming benefits, and that something has to be done about that. Reform are a party of the rich. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...
