💰BREAKING:

Down from £100bn, the cost of nationalisation is now... £1bn.

By the way, the ownership model that "doesn't work" in Paris just made the Seine swimmable again after 100 years.

We encourage Steve Reed to take a dip in the Thames.

Energy bills up 6.4% — while network providers raked in £4 billion in “excess” profits over four years.

Water bills up 26% — while firms paid £78 billion in dividends since privatisation & racked up £64 billion in debt.

End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.

🚨Boycott Coca Cola and all its brands

Coca Cola operates in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Keep Coca-Cola and its brands such as Schweppes, Sprite, Innocent, Smart Water and Costa Coffee, out of your basket until it ends complicity in Israel's crimes.

It’s us vs them. Plain and simple.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and will cost lives.

Yesterday in the High Court, the UK's complicity in atrocity crimes in Gaza was exposed. The key points:

1/ In response to questioning, the government was forced to admit that “Israel is not committed to complying with international humanitarian law” by its own assessment
