Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

“We have 6,000 UNRWA trucks. Half carry lifesaving food and medicine, just hours from Gaza,” our Louise Wateridge says to NPR. “They could enter today — if there were political will.”

Let aid in.

UK climate and nature bill dropped after deal with Labour backbenchers. Appalling. Economics matters more than environmental destruction? If Labour isn’t about fairer distribution of what we can afford, what is it about?

Legal challenges to UK infrastructure projects to be blocked in push for growth. The notion that economics trumps environment is the reason we are destroying the world.
