This government has once again proven it isn't on your side. It's on the side of big business and the rich. Join Majority today to fight for the workers rights that this Labour government has failed to deliver.
Labour ditches day-one protection from unfair dismissal in U-turn

My latest article, on opinion polls. Will Labour now step down rather than split the anti-Reform vote?

Opinion polls are useful - but they're not a crystal ball
Throughout history, humans have tried to predict the future - but maybe we'd be better off focusing on the here and now

It’s a pity that Starmer, Reeves and co haven’t followed Denmark’s other policies. They tax capital gains up to 42% vs Britain’s top rate of 28%. This funds free university and excellent public services, providing the world’s second highest standard of living.

Labour has just betrayed its 2024 manifesto completely
When push comes to shove Labour will sell out anyone to protect their jobs and the white colonialist infrastructure the UK is built on

Great evening with @KeirMilburn, discussing his book Radical Abundance.

Money and power is being sucked out of our communities by unaccountable billionaires and corporations.

It’s time to reverse that with investment decisions guided by communities.

NHS trusts are locked into £21.1bn in payments to private firms over 20 years. That’s public money diverted from staff, patients, and repair work, drained by PFI contracts across 69 NHS trusts and 96 buildings instead of frontline care.

Come rain or shine (luckily it was shine today), our hardy Majority members hit the streets every week.

"This is the continuation (and expansion) of a trend by oil and gas developers to roll back on environmental commitments.

It started with flagship offshore wind projects being cancelled, delayed or sold.

Starmer’s Labour is using Brexit to benefit big businesses. This is why our NHS is getting weaker, our public sector is shrinking, services failing, and local government is underfunded. But it doesn’t have to be this way – together, we can change this.

This amendment to the Crime and Policing bill is a shameful attack on the right to protest by this Labour government. Everyone who values freedom of speech should firmly stand against this Orwellian legislation.

My take on the Caerphilly by-election. Persistent grassroots campaigning on community issues shows that Reform have no answers.

www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...
The Caerphilly by-election shows Reform is beatable - and Labour is finished
The Caerphilly by-election has exposed the fact that it is the Labour Party now splitting the vote - and they should stand down

I would like to coin the phrase ‘fake crusader’. The fake crusader is someone who shouts angrily at an injustice for just long enough to get attention and feel self-righteous. Despite having no track record of actually doing anything about it.
Far-right fascist protesters are 'fake crusaders' cosplaying people who care about women and children

The far right don't actually care about women and girls - but are playing up their faux outrage to justify their racism.
