To tackle political lies why not have mandatory training for MPs? Soon people can’t tell the difference between the political lies they tell to get elected and the lies they tell themselves about the way

To tackle political lies why not have mandatory MP training? Making MPs do work experience might help then realise the difference between what they say in elections and what they do in government.

Zack Polanski being labelled a 'populist' is another masterpiece of misdirection What Zack Polanski is coming with is not 'populism' - it's ending forty years of successive diseases of despair, writes Jamie Driscoll

Any government that wants to end the cost of living crisis will come into conflict with very rich people. But it’s easier to get things done that public discourse would have us believe. My latest article. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...

My warning as the new head of Unison: never again will we prop up politicians hostile to unions | Andrea Egan I have been appalled by Wes Streeting’s attacks on resident doctors. The destructive right wing of the Labour party should know that this is a new era, says the general secretary-elect of Unison, Andrea...

Britain’s left agrees on the destination — but still can’t find the roadmap ON JULY 5 last year, Keir Starmer stood outside 10 Downing Street with parliamentary majority of 174. If you’d been told that within 16 months Labour would be fourth in the polls, with the Greens second to Reform, you would have given your head a shake.

Labour has just betrayed its 2024 manifesto completely When push comes to shove Labour will sell out anyone to protect their jobs and the white colonialist infrastructure the UK is built on

It’s a pity that Starmer, Reeves and co haven’t followed Denmark’s other policies. They tax capital gains up to 42% vs Britain’s top rate of 28%. This funds free university and excellent public services, providing the world’s second highest standard of living.

"Majority legends! ✊🏼

Come rain or shine (luckily it was shine today), our hardy Majority members hit the streets every week.

First talking to shoppers at our street stall, then standing together with refugees at the regular anti-racism demo.

And yet, over the last 12 months, you have dared to reach for something greater.

Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The future is in our hands.”

Fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery bike handlebars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns. These are not hands that have been allowed to hold power.

A huge victory for progressive policies and a beacon of hope in dark times.

“For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands.

The Caerphilly by-election shows Reform is beatable - and Labour is finished The Caerphilly by-election has exposed the fact that it is the Labour Party now splitting the vote - and they should stand down

My take on the Caerphilly by-election. Persistent grassroots campaigning on community issues shows that Reform have no answers.

For competent leaders with integrity, it's no use looking at the major political parties in the UK Major political parties haven't got a hope or a clue, writes Majority's Jamie Driscoll as he skewers establishment politics

British people want leaders they can be proud of. Patriotism would be taking water back into public ownership. It would cost nothing. Simply enforce the fines. Share prices would drop to zero. And the government would look like it has a backbone.

Geordies weren't letting far-right fascists spout hate in their city this weekend A far-right rogues gallery of racists came to Newcastle on Saturday 27 September - and yes, racists is the correct term. Or fascists...

When 150 far-right tried to march through Newcastle yesterday, 3000 Geordies stopped them. I’m proud of our city and its people.
My article is a first-hand account of the day.

Image of a crowd of protesters at grey’s monument in Newcastle, holding placards saying Majority against racism.

Today Newcastle stood united. ✊🏼

The far-right were in town trying to spread their hate and division. Only about 200 turned up.

Over 3000 canny geordies, including dozens of Majority members stopped them marching and sent them packing!

Great to have @zarahsultana.bsky.social at the Majority annual conference yesterday.

Labour have failed to provide the answers to the huge challenges we face.
