Earlier today I waited to ask this Question in the House of Commons but was not granted the opportunity. So with the 37th anniversary of #Hillsborough less than four weeks away, I’ll ask it here instead: What precisely is the Government’s objection to my amendment to the #HillsboroughLaw? The very least bereaved families, survivors and campaigners deserve is an answer. #JFT97 #HillsboroughLawNow

UK Increase in the state pension age (SPA) from 65 to 66 doubled the relative income poverty rate. UK SPA rising to 67 by 2028; France, 64 by 2030. Many UK seniors can't work; will get measly benefits. UK full state pension less than 50% of minimum wage ifs.org.uk/articles/state…

Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’ revealed the human cost of privatised water. We need public ownership. I’m co-hosting an MP drop-in tomorrow to hear from frontline water activists. Ask your MP to attend: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-yo… @CleanIlkley @WindrushWasp

@marge8 @betterwayUK @historykev Um no sorry, watching my dad die slowly, painfully and wither away was traumatic and distressing for him. He could not travel to Switzerland even if he could afford to, we are not poor, just normal people. He would have chosen AD. Your comment comes from a place of privilege.

@betterwayUK @historykev Let’s ask ourselves: who is this assisted dying bill for? Most people who wish to end their lives can afford to go to Switzerland - so this bill must be aimed at the poor, the depressed, the disabled: the non-productive . We must protect the vulnerable and say No to the AS bill.

“Many MSPs like me began this process sympathetic to need for a Bill of this nature to be fully debated. But as time and debate has worn on, it has become increasingly clear that this Bill is unsafe and unworkable” — Audrey Nicoll MSP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"Bathing sites ‘will be abandoned to sewage’ under Labour plans." I have checked again this morning, of the 14 stretches of river designated as bathing spots 12 are carrying "Do not swim" advisories. Oh and by the way any other stretch of river outside the 14 spots that are designated aren't even tested. You have been warned. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/1…

When you lift nothing more than a pen.......

Basically the Royal family taking the utter P out of taxpayers yet again. Andy Burnham here explaining how the King's estate - the Duchy of Lancaster is passing the buck for the clean up to the local authorities - Basically YOU.

Pensioners in poverty skip baths as water bills rise. Full state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage. 2m UK pensioners live in poverty. In 2024-25, 88,000 pensioners died in poverty. Poverty is a political choice. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…

Enough of the bullshit, enough of the rhetoric, enough of the fiddling around the edges, enough of rearranging the deckchairs, enough of pointless commissions and even more pointless reports, enough of the lying, enough of the deceit, enough of the gaslighting, enough of the masquerade, enough of the pretending it's time for govt to get a grip, to show leadership, to show determination, to do the right thing, to act. It's time to put the water industry back into public ownership and the time to do that is now. But have they got the balls?!

Activists at the Louvre hung a framed Reuters photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor slumped in the back of a car leaving a police station on the day of his arrest

This is the UK's Minister for Safeguarding. She is responsible for tackling violence against women and girls. But my investigations reveal that Jess Phillips has some questionable associates she might not want you talking about. Tomorrow, I will publish their names.

Something the Government want you to forget...

This broken System failed Nick Starmer, but an already Multi Millionaire Keir Starmer, who allowed his disabled brother to Die in abject Poverty, then use his death to grab nothing but media sympathy for himself, Failed him even more.

Young people for the love of god go and vote. Reform hate you. Do not let these people anywhere near power. They despise every single principle you hold dear.

Reform candidate Matt Goodwin took large salary from Hungarian far-right. Matt Goodwin has been taking £10,000 a month from a Hungarian far right institution that serves as a propaganda machine for fascist Hungarian premier Viktor Orbán. thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026…

Yvette Cooper should resign. She lied to Parliament. She lied to press. She lied to the public. She cost taxpayers £millions in the unlawful policing and arrests of nearly 3,000 people for holding bits of paper. She spent nearly £1million on trying to cover it up. Time to go.

He’s going there……

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt" "From the day I was charged RPI interest" "Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000" "Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year?
