The supporters of @38degrees take actions every day that make me proud, but not sure much tops this work we have done with @procartoonists - producing + distributing a colouring book from Britain’s top cartoonists to welcome refugee children arriving here https://t.co/lNOfzPSX69

🚨We’ve covered the @yorkshirepost with the experiences of 100 38 Degrees Supporters because @RachelReevesMP needs to hear how people are struggling with the cost of living. The budget must do more to help millions of people worried about rising bills and keeping warm this winter

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

Today the @38degrees team has wrapped the @yorkshirepost with 100 people from the region’s cost of living struggles. In an op-ed in the paper, @mcgregormt explains why we’ve done this, and why it’s time for a #tenmilliontax at next week’s budget: https://t.co/k9itzOCVRB

Our damning new @38degrees FOI investigation was published exclusively in today’s @thetimes . It shows water companies have wracked up 1135 criminal convictions and fines of £170 million. The forthcoming Water Bill must tackle the sewage scandal once and for all.

The @38degrees team were out under the cover do darkness last night with a hard to miss message for Labour Party Conference: don’t let children, families and pensioners fall through the cracks of our broken economy- tax the ultra-rich instead.

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

We’re lighting up Liverpool with a message for Labour Party Conference: with millions of us at risk this winter, the ultra-rich must pay their fair share! A tiny 2% tax on assets over £10m would raise £24 BILLION for services for everyday people #TenMillionTax #LabourConference

Members of the Muslim community handing out tea and coffee to the police officers protecting them OR Stephen Yaxley-Lennon taking a break from inciting racist violence online to top up his tan in Cyprus.

We know who represents the Britain we're proud of.

In a devastating week for Southport, a small act of solidarity from the British public. Really glad @38degrees was able to work with was able to work with @LivEchonews on this.

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

Our supporters' message of solidarity to the people of Southport in this morning's Liverpool Echo. Signed by 43,624 members of the public, and counting.

Nans against Nazis. What a legend.

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

The heinous acts by the far right won’t tarnish Bebe, Elsie and Alice’s memory.

The riots may have ended but the threat of the far right continues. We can’t let hate win.

Stand in solidarity with the people of Southport: https://t.co/OuVf8Qq16Z

Young Swifties are making friendship bracelets and raising money while grown men throw bricks and spew hatred.

[Liam Thorp @LiamThorpECHO]

This is who we should be thinking about this evening.

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

If the exit poll is anywhere near right, this is rejection of austerity and a demand that the NHS be saved. This will be a mandate for big things: for help with the cost of living a little, and action to restore trust in politics. We all have to be part of making sure it happens.

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

Really proud (not least as a Yorkshire woman!) of the work @38degrees has done at this election with @yorkshirepost @Masonboyowen to shine a spotlight on how voters in our region are feeling. @mcgregormt’s piece in today’s paper sums up what we learned:

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

Our new @38degrees polling by @Survation 👇constituents of both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, hard hit by both the cost of living and NHS crisis, are clear things can’t go on as they are:

[Mirror Politics @MirrorPolitics]

Rishi Sunak's majority in his own seat set to crumble as Tories fear election wipeout

https://t.co/jwSYkCVGjL

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

This blog from @mcgregormt lays out the results in full. As he says, whether they live in a rural seat like Richmond and Northallerton, or in an urban seat like Holborn and St Pancras,voters have the same message for our next PM: we cannot go on like this. https://t.co/5UE45LjUlI

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

New: @38degrees polling by @Survation of Sunak & Starmer’s constituents in @theipaper.It shows crumbling support for Sunak,and lays bare the COL&NHS crisis: a majority of both leader’s constituents say their quality of life has got worse since the last GE https://t.co/Xe3wMhlWY5

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

The cost of living crisis is NOT over, and millions of us are still struggling with SOARING costs.

The next Prime Minister needs to take proper action to help. That’s why we’ve taken our message to the skies over York tonight.

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

This is disgusting 🤢
Anyone who wants to be PM has to tell us how they’re going to clean up this mess!

[Veronica Hawking @vron_king]

Spent yesterday handing out free sewage themed ice creams at the seaside to promote our campaign to ensure the next government takes action on sewage and cleans up mess we’re in - great to be joined there by @BBCRadioKent

[38 Degrees @38degrees]

Our ice cream van tour of seaside sights blighted by sewage is in Southend today. Earlier today our campaign director @vron_king spoke to BBC radio about why we're giving away sewage themed treats to highlight the need for action.
