As I explain in this article, it’s heartbreaking, the party that created the NHS now refuses to defend something as basic as public water.
From welfare to water - we need to remember who we are.

🚨Those who want a new Left party 🚨
What would have to happen, that hasn't already happened, for those you envisage comprising this new left party to form one?
What event do you see coming down the line that finally makes it happen?

Alongside fellow Green MPs and Peers, I have written to the Justice Secretary to express my serious concern about the wellbeing and conditions of the hunger strikers.
Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

My NHS employer has just confirmed redundancies are coming. For the second time in my 16 year NHS career tens of thousands of NHS staff, many with decades of experience will be thrown on the scrap heap. Many worked on the frontline (including me) in the pandemic. This is Streeting's reward for us.

One reason Labour has given that the SNP is a “threat to national security” is that Swinney recently stopped subsidising arms companies arming Israel. In other words, Labour has decided to double down on its place as the pro-genocide party: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/06/t...

Part of why so many genteel pensioners are getting arrested for supporting a proscribed group is because they can afford to be arrested. It’s not just that it’s bad optics to arrest retired vicars or whatever. Lots of those who feel strongest would be at much higher risk and face worse consequences
