Fun times in the river after a failed attempt to go to sea - it was just too bumpy and windy. Thanks to everyone that made it happen and Helen for the great photos.

Britain is the only G7 country refusing to back plans for a global minimum corporation tax.

Why would our millionaire Chancellor, who married into a family of billionaires & has concealed his financial interests in the past, be trying to block a plan to tackle tax avoidance? 🤔

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I'm backing this rule change for this year's Labour Party Conference that, if passed, could see the whip returned to Jeremy Corbyn

The change would make the Parliamentary Labour Party accountable to Conference on decisions to withdraw the whip.

Don’t be fooled into thinking the Tories’ ‘Make British Trains Great Again’ idea is the carefully thought out plan from our Labour manifesto. Bringing railways back into public ownership requires real investment to create a reliable, safer, greener & more #accessible service.

[Ben @benjamin3767]

Yup.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

• A 15% pay rise for our NHS health workers would cost £5bn, annually.

• UK Billionaires added £100bn+ to their wealth during the pandemic

Clearly, a wealth tax is needed.

[Ben @benjamin3767]

@RLong_Bailey Absolutely concur with this.

Today hundred of thousands marched through London in support of Palestinians to end the occupation, the seige of Gaza and West Bank settlements.
The ceasefire is welcome but permanent peace can only be achieved with a free and independent Palestine.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Palestine has the right to exist.

Today at the national demonstration, I called on the British Government to take action to help force Israel to end its illegal occupation of Palestine.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tory gains are bad news for jobs, the environment & public services for the many not the few. With millions not voting, these results show a loss of hope. We must offer a bolder vision to transform people’s lives & give them the confidence to strive for a more equal world.

Where Labour's had bold, progressive leadership, advancing policies rooted in our radical socialist tradition we have made sound progress in these elections, showing that people want to be part of Labour's story when we lift hearts and minds and point to a better alternative.

1 million food parcels handed out to children in the UK last year. £41 billion of profit made by billionaires during the same time.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

When hearing about "donations" to the Tory Party, let's remember why the rich and powerful do this.

It's to get favours, contracts and influence.

Over £800m in Covid contracts went to donors who'd given the Tories £8m

They've got a cosy club and you're not in it.

"The fact that we are still having this discussion & subsidizing fossil fuels using taxpayer money is a disgrace. It’s a clear proof we have not understood climate emergency at all."

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

Last week, the US announced it would reduce emissions from overseas fossil fuel funding – yet it’s letting gas investments slide by calling it a “bridge fuel” to renewables.

@JohnKerry, gas is not a climate solution. Stop making excuses for it. https://t.co/ilN90FesEw

[Friends of the Earth (Action) @foe_us]

For too long, the fossil fuel industry has been happily frolicking along without facing the effects of their toxic pollution. It's time to end that.

"There will be consequences. The bare minimum step towards accountability is ending government support of fossil fuels." @RepCori
