I'm politically on the left. I back wealth redistribution, strong workers’ rights, a fully funded NHS, free education, and climate justice. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-greed. Fighting for a future that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

So far Zack Polanski is the only political leader of a mass membership party to come out in support of the hunger strikers. Meanwhile the Justice Secretary refuses even to reply to MPs demanding an urgent meeting to avert what could well be the tragic deaths of unconvicted prisoners. Shameful.
Solidarity with the hunger strikers.
It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.
All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.
