But the solutions exist.

⚠️The extreme wealth of the superrich is making our economies insecure

How did it become so extreme, and what can governments do about it?

This Swedish-inspired infographic breaks it down and explains how a #WealthTax could help 👇

Tug of War stunt on Parliament Square. A rural commuter holds a placard headed 'Great British Rail', which says 'entitles ALL passengers to a third off rail ticket prices.

Tug of War on Parliament Square. On one side of the tug of war: passengers, including commuters and leisure passengers, disabled passengers, rural passengers, older passengers, parents and grandparents with children plus the economy, nature and the environment (exciting costumes and signs welcome!) On the other side: private rail interests who are clinging onto our railway, including profit-making companies like First Group, and the private rolling stock outfits that own our trains, alongside John Major (the Prime Minister who privatised our railway).

Tug of War protesters: a commuter holds up a placard saying "your fares could have been cut by 12.6% since 2022 using the money that went to shareholders"

Richard Burgon MP, in front of a line of protesters, is holding a placard saying 'Private companies are trying to cling on to our railways. Heidi Alexander - close the privatisation loopholes in the Railways Bill.'

Our Tug of War outside Parliament highlights the savings that could be passed on to passengers if profits weren't being gouged out by the Rolling Stock companies.

Save the NHS.

End Privatisation.

Thames Water want to pollute without consequence.

Sound outrageous? These MPs think so. They've signed our open letter to say NO to Thames Water.

Thank you @laylamoran.bsky.social , @charliemaynard.bsky.social and @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social !

Has your MP signed?

How much would it cost to bring water into public ownership?

The government wants you to believe it's too expensive to do. But that's what happens when you swallow the water industry's 💩.

If you want parliament to debate water properly, sign this petition.

Why campaigners want a referendum on water ownership After years of sewage scandals and complaints about water companies, there are calls for the industry in England and Wales to be re-nationalised.

Feargal Sharkey is absolutely bang on the money.
💩Gov't thinks that if it quotes nonsense figures on costs the water scandal will go away.

82% of us support PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

This is so important! I'm so frustrated with my union funding Starmer and his awful government.

Unions need to act and not add to the coffers of a party that has betrayed unions and worked for too long.
Back a party that will have workers' backs and support progressive rights for everyone.💚

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs.

Farage’s latest video has racked up 2 million views - AND ITS COMPLETELY UNTRUE YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

🚨Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X

“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”

It’s racked up 2 million views

I’m pleased to share my latest article in @uk.theconversation.com

It asks what overheated apartments, flooded rice fields, & invisible policy failures have in common, & how preventable harm becomes the slow violence of necropolitics in the Chthulucene.

Here's a short thread on some key points 🧵

Dear @laylamoran.bsky.social, please join the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing to the nation.

🚨 The gov has agreed a #NHS drug price hike with Trump’s administration - and neither the public nor MPs have had a say in it.

This deal could force the NHS to pay BILLIONS more for medicines, pushing other services to breaking point. Watch, share, and tag your MP. 👇🏽

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.
