Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
🚨Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. We must come together - cross party - to stop any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

I read in The Guardian that very Right wing Home Secretary Mahmood is gunning for the PM job. But it's irrelevant whether Starmer, Streeting or Mahmood is PM - they are heading for annihilation because of their Blue Labour right wing politics. Changing the PM will not save them.

Build council homes.

Treat people with dignity.

The threat isn't the migrants - it's the wealth of the super rich.

And the media outlets and the politicians who protect their power.

Six deny terror charges over Lift The Ban protests

After the hearing, a DOJ spokesperson said that 42 terror charges for “hosting public Zoom calls is nothing short of a scandal”.

“These are the tactics deployed by dictatorships — not a democracy.”

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The real globalisation problem, which the political right won't talk about, is that wealthy individuals can move themselves and their money globally to dodge taxes and cripple the economies of democracies that do not behave as parasitic tax havens.

Fact-checking is not censorship.

Refuting falsehoods is not censorship.
Stopping a lie from travelling halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on is not censorship.
