NHS budget depleted by PFI, energy bills.

Hospitals lost 1936 nurses & 4240 support staff in this financial year.

A year of reasons why Ofwat must say NO to Thames Water's outrageous deal - to pollute our water for 15 years.

MARCH: in what becomes a pattern of devious behaviour, Thames begs Ofwat for leniency.

Send our email to Ofwat. Tell them to show Thames Water the door.

Good news today that UNISON has elected a socialist General Secretary.

As many of the other big unions step back let us hope this marks the beginning of UNISON stepping forward.

Congratulations to Andrea Egan. Ordinary Trade Unionists are crying out for leadership. Best of luck

Jim Ratcliffe’s company Ineos gets £120m govt subsidy to help save the UK’s last ethylene plant at Grangemouth.

Ratcliffe is worth $14.7bn (£11bn). Can he not invest? Will he be back for more?

Govt is not taking any equity stake. £120m is not repayable.

🚨 This is now unavoidable

In Nov last year, Blue Labour founder Lord Glasman said Brexit was a great move and Labour should embrace Trump.

Now Trump aligns with Russia, attacks EU, undermines Ukraine.

Labour has to choose:

🇪🇺 Europe & democracy
or
🇺🇸 Brexit-Trump dependency.

You can’t do both.

Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance.

Europe needs closer economic & military cooperation.

That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.

Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.

It's not going to work on anyone.

While I think most literate people can be insightful and articulate in text form, if given enough time to collect their thoughts, it is a rare talent to be able to do that verbally, in real time, while responding to interruptions, hostile jibes or pointed questions and STILL get your point across.

If we are serious about reducing reoffending, we can't allow public humiliation to become part of the justice system.

Shaming individuals carrying out unpaid work risks harming families, especially children who bear the weight of a crime they didn’t commit.

Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.

Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.
