Today I met Tony, a local postman who's served our community for over five years.

It’s time to bring Royal Mail into public ownership so the service is available to all and everyone gets a Tony of their own!

Over the busy Christmas period, make sure you thank your postie!

We are one small step away from this
Look at dentistry
People have to go private ( if the possibly can), wait months and months to see a NHS dentist, if they can find one, or pull their own teeth out

If the right to trial by jury is being scrapped because the backlog is too long, how long before the right to free medical treatment is scrapped because the waiting lists are too long?

The ceasefire in Gaza is a one-sided sham.

Israeli forces have never stopped targeting Palestinians and brutally murdering them while they sleep in their refugee camp tents.

This is genocide with total impunity - a gift from the British government.

GB News makes ‘substantial’ payment to Islamic Relief over false claims
A guest on The Camilla Tominey Show incorrectly claimed that the charity had been banned in countries overseas because it had sent money to terrorist groups in the Middle East

There's much very justified criticism of AI, but AlphaFold is a rare undeniable positive

Given free for researchers to use, it's already enabling big biological and medical advances

This interview with one of its creators has some fascinating background

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.

This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!

The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.

850,000 people signed up for info about Your Party, and 55,000 joined as paid up members

Just 4,557 voted for a collective leadership model, 283 more than voted for having a single leader

If it takes less than 5,000 people to control Your Party, it can only go one way

Good to hear Jeremy Corbyn using his #YourPartyConference speech to highlight the issues that need addressing to solve the housing crisis:
🔹The housing crisis affects so many millions of people in this country
🔹Completely unaffordable private rented sector flats

Jeremy Corbyn's speech to the Your Party conference:

"Why are we doing this?

Because of grotesque levels of inequality

Because keeping flats empty as investment vehicles while people sleep rough on the pavements outside can't be right"

Have they given any justification for this?

Bridget Phillipson was dispatched to defend it, but all she said was, that including it would “jeopardise the rest of the bill”

How?!

For far too long, and at the cost of many much-loved independent venues, successive governments have failed to support the live music scene, the arts and community creative spaces.

This is the emergency motion to @thisisyourparty conference by the SWP / Counterfire

A well-organised caucus would dominate nominations and selections

If passed, it would ensure that the SWP / Counterfire would control the party and the formation of Your Party branches

Vaccines work

Thanks to HPV vaccine, for the first time since records began, there were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women under 25 in 2021

Australia is now on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035 (if vaccine take-up is maintained)

The effect of the personal tax allowance freeze imposed by Rachel Reeves today, and by the other Tory chancellors before her (since 2021), is that by 2030, basic rate tax payers will be paying over £1,000 more tax each year

The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep getting poorer.

Why does this government find it so hard to tell Israel: you’re wrong, what you’re doing is illegal, and we are not going to let you get away with genocide.

I'm seeing Xmas ads already, so it must be time to share this again:

"If you see anybody advocating for Israel on the TV or radio. One of their repellent spokespeople, say. Then they will be lying, because that's what they do. They lie and they lie and they lie…"
