When Andy Burnham became MP there was only 1 food bank. But there's now over 1,400 food bank centres in our community.
Millions more people have been forced to rely on emergency food. This can't go on.
We're calling on the new PM to turn this around.
Private water bosses in the docks 👩⚖️
Take the whole industry into public control.
"Privatisation of our critical infrastructure has failed. Now we need a grown-up conversation about owning our own energy and water" @UniteSharon
Applebaum: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiated with Russia over Ukraine while discussing mineral, oil and gas deals for connected US companies. They were not bargaining for Ukrainian security or America's European allies. That is a profound abuse of American power. 1/
Thames Water has spent decades taking dividends and failing to invest.
What do we get? A hosepipe ban in a heatwave.
Thank you so much, @Wera_Hobhouse MP, for standing up for Bath.
Ask @DefraGovUK Secretary @angelaeagle to take Thames Water into public hands: https://t.co/WDcfuVkeCt
The Conservative party has dodged regulatory action on its repeated false claims that spending on social security is “spiralling out of control”.

HE WAS ONLY 19 YEARS OLD, AND HIS COURAGE EARNED HIM THE VICTORIA CROSS.
Fusilier Dennis Donnini had served just nine months in the Army when he fought at Stein, Germany, on 18 January 1945. Wounded twice, he refused to leave the battle, rescuing a wounded comrade and continuing to fight until he was killed in action.
His extraordinary bravery earned him the Victoria Cross, making him the youngest recipient of Britain's highest award for gallantry during the Second World War.
Today, his Victoria Cross has been donated to the Royal Highland Fusiliers Museum in Glasgow, ensuring that his courage and sacrifice will continue to inspire future generations.
HE WAS ONLY 19. HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER 🌹🇬🇧

🔴 The banks were bailed out by the public less than 20 years ago. Now they’re warning the government not to tax them.
Privatised profits. Socialised losses.
That model has failed Britain 🇬🇧 for decades. It’s time finance served the real economy, not the other way around.
Barrister Rajiv Menon KC is facing potentially two-years in prison for doing his job. This has never happened in British legal history.

Drop-off fees at the UK's major airports have risen by a third on average since last summer.
It is a rip-off, another way of boosting profits.
Nothing to do with climate change, as airport owners claim.
Many countries do not have drop-off charges

I've just got the latest energy bill predictions. The average of 3 sources show the Price Cap rising 5.1% on 1 Oct - as the last week has seen very high wholesale rates. An annualised rise of £93 on a typical bill.
If this happens it will wipe out any household savings from the VAT cut during that Price Cap period (those on fixes will still see a 4.8% reduction).
In the 1970s it was inconceivable that Private Business would be allowed to own Energy, Rail, Mail or Water.
Now they are all Privatised and they say we cannot Renationalise them.
There is no Left Wing, only variations of the Right.
My dad was an electrician who didn’t want me scrabbling about between floorboards. My mum was a nurse, worked shifts at weekends and holidays.
My first job was labouring but I got to uni and changed my life.
These pricks wouldn’t understand working people in a million years.
Another ship just left Ireland to russia filled with raw materials and the Irish prime minister @MichealMartinTD just arrived in Kyiv. If you’re a journalist here doing an interview with him then ask him about this. His team are too afraid to speak to me.
Fantastic to see the mighty Team Falklands all ready to go at @Glasgow_2026! 🤩
The Falkland Islands will be competing in Bowls, starting tomorrow, across the Men's, Women's and Pairs events - wishing all the team the very best of luck! 🇫🇰🤞

Burnham has been in government for four days.
And Tories who were in government for fourteen years say he isn’t going far enough.
This would be funny if it weren’t so ridiculous.
A reporter asks Marco Rubio whether he will ask Foreign Minister Lavrov about Russia helping Iran target U.S. troops. Another reporter asks Lavrov when will Russia stop attacking Ukraine. A staffer then removes the press from the room.
Gary Lineker among millionaires urging Andy Burnham to tax them more.
Support 2% tax on wealth over £10m.
Antidote to right-wing claim of 'they will leave'.
The poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in direct/indirect taxes than the richest 20%.

Who remembers when Martin Bell successfully stood as an MP to rid us of Neil Hamilton and the sleaze that surrounded him?
Let’s hope that, 30 years later, Count Binface can rid us of Nigel Farage and the far worse sleaze he’s up to his eyeballs in.
