🌍✨ Excited to see the work we're doing @GNDRising profiled by @guardian@damiengayle
At a time when it's SO hard to stay motivated, and there's every reason to be disheartened, we're showing that young people are still in this fight - until we win!

"Building community is the only way to ensure we’re building common wealth and power and that we’re not starting again and again."
@fortuashla, Co-Exec Director @gndrising#ChangeNOW 🤝
It's clear that Gaza has all but disappeared from the headlines. That's what they want. That's what they want because people, including children, are still being killed by Israel every day. Don't stop talking about it.
@fixingkit@SaulStaniforth I've screenshotted this so it can continue to make me laugh for the foreseeable. Because where does one even start with a comment like this...
.@fortuashla tells the Labour MP on the panel what the govt should be doing, "if only they'll listen"
Unfortunately we all know they won't listen & they won't do these things. The solution? We vote for parties that will listen & will start to tackle structural inequality.
.@fortuashla: "I see [Farage] as a snake oil salesman, but in terms of his narrative he's speaking directly to how people are feeling.. I'm in my early 30's, home ownership is a myth, my high streets are shuttered.. all our public services are on the brink [of collapse].."
'Should parents be fined for term time holidays?'
@fortuashla: "... the real problem here is, why are people taking their children out? Its because they can't afford holidays"
.@fortuashla: "The way that we reduce costs is by going hard on deployment [of renewables]. We have lost time.. it is going to cost us, but its a down payment on the future"
BREAKING: We're outside Parliament with cross-party MPs ahead of #Budget2025 to ask - Rachel Reeves, why won't you tax their wealth?
If this govt refuses to tax the super-rich tomorrow they are making a huge mistake.
Just so I’m clear …
you’re holding an emergency meeting…
to discuss how to stop the killing of civilians …
that are being killed by soldiers you allow to train on UK military bases…
by the weapons you give them?
Just want to make sure I understand …
Starmer’s Labour just passed a law: even if you win your appeal after being stripped of citizenship, you won’t get it back until the state runs out of ways to fight you.
Two weeks ago, they labelled a non-violent direct action group as terrorists.
Labour’s authoritarianism.
Our co-director @Hannah_RM is in the Guardian today talking about how we need to adapt in the face of increasing temperatures - and why this must go hand in hand with continuing to reduce emissions 👇
Our co-director @fortuashla just went on Politics Live to discuss this government’s disgraceful proposed cuts to disability benefits.
We will never accept a two tier system which plunges 150,000 disabled people into poverty, whilst the super rich stash away millions every day.
The BBC is failing its audiences, captured by elites & unaccountable to the public
With UK media dominated by oligarchs & Big Tech, we need a democratic alternative
Read our new report w/ @Cmmonwealth on transforming the BBC into a Public Service Mutual: https://t.co/h0UYMwGl23
We’re building a movement to take on the 1% — and win.
Because there is enough money to fund schools, hospitals and climate action. It’s just being hoarded.
It’s time for the super rich to PAY UP.

Recent polling shows that the two policies most likely to keep voters from abandoning Labour for the Greens and Reform are…
Investment in public services & taxing wealth

Reform UK just won in Labour’s SIXTEENTH SAFEST SEAT.
This has to be a wake-up call.
People are sick of cuts. Of politicians propping up the same broken economic status quo.
It couldn't be clearer: only a genuine, progressive alternative can beat the far-right.
