The king STILL thinks he can decide what happens to his brother!

Keep quiet - it'll blow over...

We must keep Andrew Windsor trending & demand that the royal family is not above the law; they should explain themselves, especially when accused of a crime as odious as raping a minor...
It is not justice if the rich can avoid court by paying off claimants. It is not justice when a young woman, traumatised and alone when compared to what she was going up against – the entire might of The Great British Establishment – doesn’t get her day in court.

So suddenly Rachel Reeves has this deep-seated belief?

Where was this moral conscience 15 months ago? Did it fall down the back of the sofa or something?
NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Fujitsu should be facing fines & criminal charges, not getting paid extensions to their contract!

The Horizon IT scandal resulted in innocent people going to JAIL & some losing their lives to suicide!

The damage to people & their families can never be undone, so what on earth are Labour doing?
Post Office Horizon IT contract extended for another year.

PO to pay £41m to Fujitsu.

Fujitsu was instrumental in persecution of innocent postmasters. £1.2bn compensation paid from public purse. More to follow. Fujitsu haven't paid a penny, no one has been charged.

Why is Fujitsu being rewarded?
Post Office Horizon IT contract extended for another year
It is paying £41m to the Japanese-owned company Fujitsu to use the Horizon system until March 2027.

This is the rule of law in the UK.

20 years in prison for stealing a phone.

8,493 persons serving indefinite prison sentences, often for petty crime.

No one charged for the Post Office scandal, Grenfell fire, cladding scandal, mortgage prisoners, banking frauds.

Who does the law serve?
Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

When you see the board of #GenieEnergy, you can understand why US foreign policy is the way it is:
War is good for business, especially the oil business.

And because of the level of corporatocracy & oligarchy in the US, they can make it happen.
From 2009, former vice president of the United States Dick Cheney sat on the strategic advisory board of Genie Energy.

#GenieEnergy was 'granted' drilling rights by Israel in the illegally-occupied Golan Heights region of Syria.

For proper shivers, just look at who else is on the board...

This was something that a *proper* Labour government would have just got sorted.

As it is, this scandal (and others) are still unresolved.
Post Office scandal campaigner Sir Alan Bates may also be a victim of Capture, the faulty computer software that was used in thousands of branches before Horizon.

But it currently fails to address the elephant in the room: the voting system.

#NoToPFI
And no to PFI policies dressed up and called by something else.
It’s easy to lose sight of what billions in PFI debt actually cost.

But behind every figure is a nurse working double shifts, a ward left understaffed, a patient waiting longer.

💬 Billions in interest. Staff under pressure. That’s PFI.

As a Safety manager in the NHS, Labour is most likely making me redundant, and I could lose my house. Making NHS patients less safe in the process.

15 years of ruinous Tory austerity is not gonna be undone by further neoliberal policies from Labour (ranging from Tory-lite through to even more Tory than the Tories).

It's no wonder they're failing to connect - and it's got nothing to do with messaging.
