@DGclassics is your Scriabin/Luisi recording going to be released on CD?

In Parliament last week I again called on the Government to stop supplying parts for the deadly F35 fighter jets that Israel uses to bomb Gaza.

I raised how a refusal to do so puts Government workers at risk of being left criminally liable for complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

"Revealed: Thames Water diverted ‘cash for clean-ups’ to help pay bonuses."

In 2023 @Thameswater underspent their environmental obligation to the @EnvAgency by £1.1bn. Now we know why. They used some if not all of that money for other company costs including bonuses and dividends.

That £1.1bn formed part of the WINEP programme, a legally binding commitment to the @EnvAgency to deliver a certain number of clean up projects by 2025.

Is anyone from TW going to be prosecuted for breaking the law?

A 77 yr old climate protestor (Quaker) to spend Christmas in jail because her wrists are too small for a tag.
A 53 yr old Lord (Charlatan) took £millions for dodgy PPE, gets off & celebrates Christmas - a multi-millionaire!
Two-tier policing, them & us justice, broken Britain.

⛓️ Gaie Delap, a 77 year old grandmother, will be spending Christmas in prison because the tagging company claimed her wrists were too small to fit a tag.

⁉️ No tags small enough for women's wrists? Bullshit. Smaller sizes and alternatives are available.

That’s what 14yrs of the Tories has done to the NHS.
It’s going to be a long journey back, but I hope it’s starting soon…

Rachel Reeves in Fabian Society book 2018:
"I firmly believe that membership of the customs union and the single market is the best way of protecting jobs and growth and providing a stable platform  from which Labour can build a new economic settlement." -
What changed her mind?

A 1% #WealthTax on the richest in society who have over £4m in assets would raise £25 billion. That sum dwarves the £1.5b @UKLabour hopes to raise by picking the pockets of pensioners, and it wouldn’t leave ordinary people afraid to turn their heating on.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent.

Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

🚨 IMPRISONED FOR HAVING SMALL WRISTS

Last night Gaie Delap was recalled to prison because the private tagging company didn't have a tag that would fit her wrist. She couldn't wear one on her ankle due to health conditions.

You couldn't make this up.

🚨 BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS

Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag.

She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her.

Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange.

She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.

Reeves says UK economic turnaround will take time.

Can't revive economy without improving people's purchasing power.

16m people live in poverty. Profiteering is rife. 1% has more wealth than 70% of population combined.

Needs action now. Tax the rich.

Shocking to see such ministerial complacency in the face of risk that our fragile democracy is further undermined. The issue of reforming party funding was in Labour’s manifesto & they should act now, before what little trust is left is totally destroyed https://t.co/sZcvEpkseQ
