Netanyahu is travelling to Hungary this week despite the international arrest warrant against him for war crimes in Gaza. It’s time for EU leaders to take a stand: he must be arrested and tried. Let's demand justice for the Palestinian people.

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

No second state visit for Trump

Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

I’m paraphrasing but I often think of Devine’s three reasons to do a play -

- you like it

- you don’t like it, but you have a relationship with the writer

- you don’t like it but you feel the writer should be taught/encouraged

Labour is just so lazy 😴 they keep ignoring the facts that taking back control of utilities is a hard decision but the right one in the long run. They seem hell-bent on squeezing every poor person for taxes instead of taxing the richest and building the UK economy. #RejoinEU would help the recovery.

Five more water companies in England appeal against Ofwat’s curb on bill rises.

OFWAT permitted average price rise of 36%. They want more

People can't appeal, have to pay up, put up with sewage in rivers, exploitation.

Corporations rule and no one is protecting people.

Most of UK’s big build-to-rent developers owned by foreign private equity firms.

They don't build for families or the poor.

Profiteering, debt, tax dodges are the game.

They expect govt contracts and land to boost business.

Councils can build cheaper, eliminate profiteering.

HMRC ditches crackdown on private equity tax.

Who will bear the cost of appeasing private equity?

Govts listen to donors, finance industry, developers and the rich.

The rest get two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment, frozen personal allowance, cuts in public services.
