The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.

What about those who are suffering here and now?

We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

PFI blighted public purse/services.

Govt guaranteed corporate profits.

Example: private sector invested £40m in the NHS, repayment £1.1bn, less spent on healthcare.

Cheaper for the govt to borrow, can do QE for public services.

Streeting wants more PFI. SAY NO.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.

Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.

We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.

It will never reach you.

Human nature is in reality rather different to what Neo-Liberals, Libertarians and Thatcherites claim it is.

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we call on the government to end its participation in genocide.

We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, today and every day, until there is a free and independent Palestine.

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, how can the continued sale of arms to Israel possibly be justified?
Exactly this Sooz! I never voted for the fraud and hate what Labour has become but he’s just another in a long line of PM’s that has lied and broke promises.
Instead of petitions how about people stop voting for fakes like Starmer and Farage and whichever poor hater the Tories have in charge now.
