We don't build safer communities with dog-whistle politics.
We build safer communities with investment in education, housing, mental health & youth services.
Instead of sinking into the gutter, we should offer hope in a better world.
This week, Passover, Ramadan and Easter overlap, which only happens three times each century.
This rare and special occasion is a time for all communities to come together and make a common call for compassion, inclusion and peace.
Wholesale gas is 6 times cheaper today than August.
In is 4 times cheaper than March 2022
It is half the price it was in October 2021
There is zero justification whatsoever for prices climbing 20% today, a cost which will be met by you the taxpayer.
It’s a racket.

In 2015, following 5 years of austerity, I decided to join the Labour Party. I then supported a backbencher that fought for social justice and equality. Millions of young people, like myself, had been inspired by Jeremy Corbyn. I am appalled by the unfair treatment he has received - especially the recent decision by the NEC. Local Labour members should decide on their candidate, not the Leader or the NEC.
Keir Starmer wanting 10 yrs to fix society shows the lack of a radical agenda.
Nationalise energy; ban private education; bring the utilities into public ownership; end the NHS privatisation; increase the national wage to £15per hour; tax the billionaires.
10 months maybe.
“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”
“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”
Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

Today HSBC announced profits of £4.3bn for just three months.
Don’t forget Sunak & Hunt cut the bank tax surcharge last November. Estimated at the time to be a tax break to Bankers of an enormous £18bl over the next five years.
Tories prefer banker profits over saving the NHS.
