There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot
Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

SIGN NOW. While aid is blocked and civilians starve, the EU continues business as usual with Israel through the EU–Israel Association Agreement.

This European Citizens’ Initiative can legally force the Commission to act — if 1 million EU citizens sign.

As we speak, Israel has banned dozens of humanitarian organisations, blocked life-saving aid, and dismantled the last lifelines for people in Gaza. Children are starving. Hospitals have been destroyed...

Put an end to Arms Fairs & Arms Trade!!!

All weapons on sale at NEC are used to kill & injure innocent civilians & children

Instead our taxes should be funding health care, social care & education…..to provide real security, not the false security offered by defence industry

A friend pointed me to a post on social media of a letter by Kerry McCarthy MP (Labour, Bristol East) about a request for a televised emergency briefing on the #ClimateEmergency

🚨 The gov has agreed a #NHS drug price hike with Trump’s administration - and neither the public nor MPs have had a say in it.

This deal could force the NHS to pay BILLIONS more for medicines, pushing other services to breaking point. Watch, share, and tag your MP. 👇🏽

Over the last few years, when juries have heard evidence of why people have taken direct action to advance climate or racial justice, or to stop genocide in Gaza, they have repeatedly found the accused not guilty.

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.
