Save precious palliative care beds at our local Arthur Rank Hospice. The hospice is facing a funding deficit of £829,000, primarily due to the withdrawal of a long-standing funding contribution from Cambridge University Hospitals https://t.co/TwHrZvrRN5

Disabled People Against Cuts are
organising a day of action across the country to protest the proposed cuts to disability benefits recently announced by the UK government. Join us in Cambridge on Wednesday 26th March to fight back against these disgusting and dangerous proposals!

🚨CAN YOU HELP?🚨
We had fewer funds than usual this month, and after applications came in quicker than ever, we've been left with 16 grants we can't pay out, meaning we're short ~£560. Any amount you can donate helps to cover the next grant on the list. https://t.co/YXYMY9nEy3

EveryDoctor is running an emergency briefing for MPs, because we need immediate action from the government to safeguard lives and support NHS staff. Please will you contact your MP and ask them to attend? https://t.co/27XoGSAK60

[Cambridge People's Assembly Against Austerity @campplsassembly]

The NHS is under unbelievable pressure at the moment, with A and E departments under huge strain, many NHS trusts declaring critical incidents, and exceptional levels of demand for hospital beds.

Excellent work from @SolidarityCam
Please spread the word so that this brilliant example of mutual aid and wealth redistribution can continue and donate if you can

[Cambridge Solidarity Fund 🌱 @SolidarityCam]

We're so excited to announce that Cambridge Solidarity Fund has redistributed over £100,000 since we started in October 2021!
However, there's ever-greater need for support in the form of no-strings-attached cash. Can you help us redistribute even more? https://t.co/RdGGdqTANT

.@DanielZeichner We implore you to vote against the removal of universal winter fuel allowance. When the Tories had this policy in their 2017 manifesto, Labour said it would cause 4000 deaths. Fuels costs more now. Your cabinet role is not worth people dying #WinterFuelAllowance

[Cambridge People's Assembly Against Austerity @campplsassembly]

We urge our MP @DanielZeichner to help stop child poverty and vote for the SNP ammendment to scrap the inhumane 2 child limit tonight.

If Labour is on our side, why doesn't Starmer's new government step in to freeze bills and hold the water companies to account for their criminal mismanagement?

As @We_OwnIt says, the case for nationalisation couldn't be stronger.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Since water privatisation "£72bn has gone in dividends to shareholders, these water companies started out with zero debt & they've build up a debt mountain of £53bn"

Last year @CatHobbs from @We_OwnIt explained why the private water companies should be nationalised

A decent write up of the hustings on inequality and poverty in Cambridge #GeneralElection https://t.co/0kPpN0cntV

[People's Assembly @pplsassembly]

Don’t listen to those who say we can’t afford a world class, fully public National Health Service. Listen to Nye Bevan talk about the founding of the NHS when we had a “bankrupt nation”. The private sector offers no solutions, only reinstating the NHS does

🚨 BREAKING

New poll shows that Jeremy Corbyn *can* win in Islington North, but he needs your help.

Not enough voters know he is standing as an independent, so we must reach every single person in Islington to pull off this victory.

Some parents just told me in my baby sensory class that the Labour Party told them that they shouldn’t vote for me because I wasn’t blocked from standing because of liking a few tweets, but for more serious reasons. I’ve heard this several times now. This is a vicious lie. I’m publishing the email I received from the Labour Party about this decision so everyone can see the truth, including:
1. That the media knew before I did
2. That these was nothing else, so the decision was made on extremely flimsy grounds. They also said I was still a member.
3. That their duty of care for me extended to a link to mental health resources.
Please do push back on the lies being told!

Where, oh where is Daniel Zeichner, Labour candidate for Cambridge? #GeneralElection
