When facing a recession a government should: - Cut interest rates - Cut taxes - Increase its spending We are facing recession and: - Interest rates are rising - Taxes are increasing - Spending is being cut There is no worse economic policy for this moment.

BREAKING: 100,000 civil servants, members of @pcs_union, have voted overwhelming for strike action.

Great news! Striking Liverpool dockers have won a pay deal worth between 14.3% and 18.5% It was great to join them on the picket lines to show our solidarity. A major victory by @Unitetheunion ✊

Muslim, Hindu and Sikh Spitfire pilots defended Britain from the Nazis. It’s their poppy too!

What an impressive lesson delivered to yet another vile Conservative who was given power and then denounced the situation he brought about. Powell lives on in the history books as despicable, as will many of today’s #tories.

I see that Rishi Sunak targeted Jeremy Corbyn at Prime Minister's Questions today for the third week running. My new piece for Middle East Eye explains why: middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-sun…

Rishi Sunak's government has published the list of acceptable ID required for people to vote in the UK. Six of the Government-approved IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while several forms of ID widely carried by younger people are excluded. bylinetimes.com/2022/11/07/vot…

The privatisation of social care is harmful to us all. It’s time for a National Care Service, freely available to all those who need it, wherever they need it, whenever they need it. My piece for @tribunemagazine. tribunemag.co.uk/2022/11/dement…

Every occurrence of UK in the article is University of Kentucky. Not United Kingdom. Sorry, I was misled.

@DeborahMahmoud1 @jeremycorbyn This is a lens through which we can better understand colonial history - our history. If it happened here, then why not there? It shows how decisions are taken that powerful people might defend and hide decades later. Thank goodness for historians post-1905 (Our Island Story).

@jeremycorbyn @chggenerations YAY! Fantastic news!!! What was done to those people is abominable - John Pilger's 'Stealing A Nation' - exact same thing now happening here and again, it's a corporate Crown takeover with British people to be equally dumped into abject poverty. youtube.com/watch?v=UfP84B…

After a long & arduous campaign led by Olivier Bancoult and a group of dedicated MPs, the UK’s decision to open negotiations over the future of the Chagos Islands is to be celebrated. It is high time this shameful period of British history came to an end. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
