Yes, #WASPI has been battling for years, at considerable cost, against a stubborn government. But we must not squander the value of all that effort now and let it get away with denying all the injustice we have suffered thanks to DWP wrongdoing. Support our new legal case

We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…

And you can help.

I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public

Imagine if this went though

Imagine the world of pain this would save us if it become law

And this is where we need your help to make this happen…

Billionaire wealth is out of control - and hit record levels in 2025

As the super-rich gathered in Davos this week, Oxfam's new figures showed billionaire wealth rises by $80,700 every SECOND

That level of wealth is a danger to society.

Let’s keep demanding: Tax Extreme Wealth

The new White Paper on Water is old wine in new bottles. We already have all the laws in place to hold water companies accountable for breaking the terms of their licences.

The government should be bolder. Fine England's water companies into oblivion, and take them into public ownership.

The world has lost a mind whose work guides us every day.

Gladys West, a pioneering mathematician whose contributions helped make modern GPS possible, has passed away at 95, peacefully on January 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

West’s mathematical models of the Earth’s shape became a critical foundation for satellite navigation, allowing precise positioning anywhere on the globe. Her work helps guide everything from airplanes and ships to smartphones and emergency services, though she once joked that she still preferred using paper maps.

Born in 1930 in rural Virginia, West grew up in the South, working on her family’s farm and walking miles to a one-room schoolhouse. She originally planned to study home economics, but discovered a love for geometry that led her to pursue mathematics. A scholarship took her to Virginia State College, where she earned her degree and later a master’s in mathematics.

In 1956, she joined a U.S. Navy research facility in Dahlgren, Virginia. Over a 42-year career, West worked with early computers to develop algorithms that accounted for the Earth’s irregular shape, gravity, and tidal forces, refinements that were essential for accurate satellite positioning.

Without the mathematical groundwork she helped establish, the global navigation systems used today would not function as they do.

For most of her career, West’s contributions remained largely unknown outside scientific circles. Later in life, she received major honors, including induction into the U.S. Air Force Hall of Fame and the Prince Philip Medal.

She inspired generations of scientists and mathematicians.

What is the point of the Energy Ombudsman if electricity and gas firms get things wrong but can ignore the rulings the Ombudsman makes? @bbcdanw looks at listener complaints and Energy Cttee Chair @Bill_Esterson MP calls for change @MoneyBox noon @BBCRadio4

❌️ The #SupremeCourt never made a definitive or SUBSTANTIVE ruling on whether the changes to #StatePensionAge were discriminatory or unfair to #50sWomen, ruling the case "out of time"

‼️The word substantive is important in issues of equality in law, as it refers to ... ⬇️

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

The Government wants new water laws that lock us into decades of rip-off privatisation - without asking the public.

82% of Brits support public ownership. You won’t get a say.

Stop the stitch-up. Demand a real public consultation: https://t.co/BpTWhhWc5y

The Government wants to push through water legislation, locking in a failed privatised system for decades without giving the public a say.

Thank you to ⁦@JimfromOldham⁩ for raising the question of #WASPI compensation yet again in Parliament yesterday. So many backbench MPs want to see the Ombudsman’s recommendations implemented in full.

They are talking about a budget deficit of £50bn and taxing you more is the only way to fill it.

Getting rid of Brexit would gain the UK £200bn a year revenue and about £42bn for the tax man

Taxing the rich at the same 47% rate you have to pay when you work, would raise £250bn

Twenty seven people who donated £50m in total to the last Tory government were given seats in House of Lords. And some still argue against an elected second chamber.

Boris Johnson says that corruption in Taiwan is very low

He's right. Taiwan did not have a VIP PPE lane during covid

But Johnson and Sunak had a VIP PPE lane, they spent £13.1 billion, and of that £9.9 billion was written off; neither Johnson nor Sunak were prosecuted for enabling fraud on a gigantic scale

Dear Rachel Reeves
No more tax rises. We had enough under the bloody Tories. Fill that black hole with outstanding amounts owed by:
Michelle Mone £232 Mn.
Lord Bamford £500 Mn
King Charles tax-free inheritance
PPE fraud.

Enough really is enough.
