It is ideological stubbornness that has the Tories offering bailouts to energy companies instead of taking them into state ownership. It makes no sense.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Any loans to energy firms should come with big strings attached:

• public ownership
• no tax avoidance
• no share dividends
• limits on exec pay

End the energy rip off.

An elderly neighbour just excitedly told me he’s started a new course. Given his very senior age, I was surprised. He then explained it’s a free course learning how to use his smart phone- Samsung are running classes helping older people.
We need more of this in communities 👏🏻

Sajid Javid has thanked the Daily Mail for launching a campaign based on a series of inaccuracies about NHS GPs😮

Disgusting. If the government want the NHS to cope better in this healthcare crisis, they should fund it properly+train more staff🚨

💙Stop gaslighting NHS staff💙

How about creating a nationalised not-for-profit energy supplier, with its gas & electricity prices fixed annually in the budget and subsidies for those on Universal Credit?
How about investing a lot more in renewables so we're self-sufficient in energy?

Not that hard, is it?

A new study has found that the UK’s most deprived areas have more than 10 times the number of betting shops than the most affluent parts of the country. 21% of gambling outlets are in the poorest tenth of the UK, with 2% in the most affluent zones.

The reshuffle's largely succeed in diverting attention from £6bn University Credit cuts that'll hurt 6m households and plunge kids into poverty.

Labour won today's non-binding Commons vote 253 to 0 after the Conservative Party abstained.

Few humpbacks might arrive in Samoa as early as July and leave here as late as December, but they are most common here in September and October.

Here's a look at a mother and calf humpback whale swimming just outside of the reef! Enjoy their presence and keep our ocean clean.
