NEW: Our latest analysis shows the affordability crisis in private renting is now a national phenomenon.
With rents rising by between 6 and 9% each year across Britain since the pandemic.
@Tabss273 Tabs, trade unions & industrial action are inherently political. The Labour Party was born out of the trade union movement, we are its parliamentary wing. Just because you don't like one member politician who supports the strikes it doesn't mean you shouldn't support the action ?
Public finances are going to look even worse when my generation with plan 2 student loans start reducing hours or refusing promotions. Student loans are a piece of the background regressive tax system. The time lost is simply not worth the paltry increase in take home pay.
It is completely absurd - and incredibly damaging - that the NEC would not give members in Gorton and Denton the opportunity to select Andy Burnham as their candidate.
A decision which encapsulates everything wrong about the culture of our Party at the moment.

In the same week our government denies Israeli genocide in Gaza, they welcome the Israeli President into No 10.
Morally bankrupt and utterly complicit.
Instead of rolling out the red carpet, Herzog should be arrested and questioned about his potential complicity in war crimes.
