Some protection for those living in rented accommodation
The Renters’ Rights Act is NOW LAW!
Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past.
This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

Labour looking at Reform's racist policies and saying "we"ll have some of that". These aren't just discriminatory, by making migrants meet higher standards than the average person, they automatically treat migrants as if they are criminals on community service.

How many people think to themselves, "I'd vote Labour, if only they could be more like Trump." I would guess it's a number close to zero.
But Labour seems to be chasing a figment of its imagination, and this is perhaps the most grotesque example so far.
