Six more people have died in the Channel trying to reach a place of safety.
Shame on our government for creating the market for these perilous routes.
And shame on many in our media for stoking racism, hatred and fear.
Where is our humanity?
How to destroy the NHS:
Step 1. Run it into the ground with austerity.
Step 2. Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector.
Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care.
End privatisation, support striking workers and save our NHS.
Happy birthday to the brilliant @MichaelRosenYes, whose wonderful poetry has provided joy to so many.
Here’s his beautiful ode to the NHS — These Are The Hands. Thanks for all you do Michael!
Susanna Reid asks Rachel Reeves:
"Is it a resonable question for people to ask, whether they can believe anything Keir Starmer does actually pledge?"
...and Reid again, after Reeves reply:
"Labour members might say circumstances change, but principles shouldn't" #GMB
Sir Keir Starmer is to u-turn on yet another one of his leadership pledges: the abolition of tuition fees
His cheerleaders are claiming the Labour leader never made such a pledge: it is literally listed in pledge number 2 on his own website 🙄🥀

Keir Starmer is a fundamentally dishonest politician who made a series of pledges - definition: “a solemn promise or undertaking” - which he has abandoned.
Love how he even signed the pledges he went on to break.
@reece_dinsdale They are the most dishonest bunch of politicians I have ever come across. I am surprised you have to even ask that question. @Keir_Starmer is without doubt a vindictive man who will say anything just to get elected. Despicable.
Now more than ever, we need to elect a Labour Government and get Keir Starmer into Downing Street.
Join @UKLabour today to help us make that happen.

Point the finger at the Govt which has been running things (initially with LD support) since 2013. Cancelled operations, long waits in clinic and A&E, too few beds in psychiatric in patients units, a shortage of nurses and doctors - all this predates the current strike.
Probably the world’s most significant and famous journalist has been in prison for four years today for his work - not in Egypt or China or Russia, but in Britain, a country that lectures others on free speech.
His imprisonment is entirely political. He should be free.
10 years ago today, a city united to save its football club from liquidation. Thank you to the below #Pompey fans and syndicates who raised £2.35m - and other Blues followers who backed the cause.
As for those who sided with Balram Chainrai - you’ll never be forgotten either.
