Please do not cross it.

The most important thing to take away from the chancellors new budget this week: the poorest families will still be hit the hardest by the cost of living scandal⬇️
.@BBCNews have changed their headline abt Keir Starmer's comments earlier. Why change from something he said to something he didn't?
Starmer said: “I think we’re recruiting too many people from overseas into, for example, the Health Service.”
Nurses across the UK have voted to take strike action.
If you will support every nurse going out on strike because they've been left with no other choice please reply with a 💙

Teachers were the only adults I felt safe coming out to.
If I’d known they would tell my parents, I’d never have been able to talk about my sexuality and I’d probably have died by suicide as a child.
Horrifying that this still needs said - forcibly outing children is bad.
On a week when the Tories took politics into the cesspit of xenophobia & hatred Keir Starmer & Labour had the chance to stand against this. But yet again Labour has reduced itself to chasing the Tory tail.

But it’s not too late! An emergency insulation programme would get basic upgrades in the UK’s draughtiest homes.

As we have always been, we are an inclusive informal collective of community activists, socialists, environmentalists and trade unionists. We support Scottish independence but as a means not an end in itself and not as a barrier to action. 4/4

We are now called Radical Common Weal. As a term, Common Weal has a long history and no one organisation owns it. As an idea, it is still central to who we are. 3/4
