In one year alone 140 Peers didn't take part in a single Lord's debate. It's why I've signed a petition calling on the Government to back a rule change that would see 100 shirker Lords get the sack if they don't start showing up. Will you join me? https://t.co/FqrhWJqsIn
Outraged that the Royal Family are making millions from the NHS, state schools and charities? I am, so I've signed the petition calling on them to clean up their act AND start paying corporation tax. Join me: https://t.co/T7GWAmEAem
My reaction to the Budget, on a historic day. There were some welcome announcements, but also huge missed opportunities for fair taxes on wealth, for action on nature-friendly farming and water pollution, and for real investment in public transport.
To brighten up budget day, I am giving a set of these Fabulous Mr Benn badges away.
To be in the bowler hat, all you have to do is retweet this tweet.
I'll choose a winner this time next week.
Good Luck!!
With @WASPI_Campaign women now outside Parliament to support their demand for justice
@RachelReevesMP has forgotten the 3.8 million #waspi women - the #1950swomen who are still waiting for their @PHSOmbudsman compensation for loss of up to 6 years state pension. SHAME!
🚨BREAKING: The English water system has been SINGLED OUT for criticism by the UN.
A special report criticised the LACK of TRANSPARENCY from water companies to the public - and a LACK OF POLITICAL WILL by those in power who have been 'co-opted or captured' by companies.
A visibly moved Jeremy Corbyn MP talks of his visits to Gaza 🇵🇸 schools.
Those schools are now destroyed and the pupils murdered.
He asks:
‘If our government believes in International Law it would halt the supply of weapons’
Starmer and Labour are guilty.
In May @Keir_Starmer blasted Tories saying: "The Ombudsman's #WASPI report came out I don't know how many months ago now and the Govt should have responded … it is shocking that the Govt hasn't dealt with it.” But his own Govt has yet to pay out any compensation. Restoring trust in politics? @UKLabour

The government wants to address fraud in the benefits system.
Please remember that Department for Work and Pensions stats show that fraud in the disability benefits system is a 'non-issue'.
Personal independence payment fraud stood at 0% in the financial year ending 2024.
GetStuckInForWASPI - support your constituents and stick in a flag. There are circa 5000 #WASPI in every constituency. Will you stand up for them? @LabourConf24 Stand E3
@UniteSharon@UKLabour@unitetheunion Rachael Reeves stated yesterday she represented 'workers' it was very loud and very clear and as a recent non-worker I felt very unheard.
It’s time to tax money made with money in the same way we tax money made with a pair of hands. I'm backing calls for a wealth tax and capital gains tax reform. Those with the broadest shoulders should pay their fair share.
