Labour have just announced that their upcoming manifesto will pledge to renationalise UK railways, bringing them back into public ownership after nearly thirty years of privatisation.

Here’s why that’s a good thing — and why such measures should be expanded across energy,

Not every day you get to vote for someone you’ve known for 30 years to be Mayor of London.

Back the guy who is:
Feeding hungry kids
Cleaning up our air
Building council flats
Being grown about drug laws
Calling for a ceasefire in Gaza

Use all your votes for Labour.

NEW: Just days after Israel killed 3 British nationals, the UK government formally decided to continue selling arms to Israel, newly-released court documents reveal.

These damning documents again show that arms sales to Israel must end. 🧵 1/11

What about the 'current settlement' of privatised water, energy & mail is working?

Labour should take all our public services back into public hands: good policy, good politics 🌹

🚨ICYMI
Last month the The Telegraph broke bombshell allegations of vote-rigging via #Anonyvoter in Labour's Parliamentary selections.

Since then, we've had zero investigations & zero answers.

I wrote on this democratic scandal for Tribune 🔽 tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/starme…

This is a genocide.

But Sunak & Starmer won't even recognise Israel's war crimes.

We welcome Louise Haigh's announcement this morning that The Labour Party will bring our railways into public ownership and deliver an integrated transport network fit for the future.

Nationalise the rolling stock.

Where is the outrage now that mass graves have been found in Gaza?

Why don’t we know more about the bodies found with hands tied & clothing stripped?

Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this?

Where is the international condemnation?

Today Ministers refused to turn up to the Committee discussing arms exports to Israel.

And when they do turn up in Parliament, they mislead MPs about arms sales to Israel and push the false claim that Britain has one of the most robust arms controls licence systems in the world.

A year on and it is time to restore the Whip to Diane Abbott MP.

I agree with Mick Whelan Dave Ward Matt Wrack and Maryam Eslamdoust 👇

Cracking news Louise Haigh!

Now let’s get cracking with water….

Outrageous.

On water as on so much else, the Labour Leadership is representing corporate interests, not the labour movement or the British people.

Sunak & Starmer tell us we need a massive increase in arms spending...

... but there's no money to fund our NHS, feed hungry kids or invest in a green transition.

Our political elites are woefully out of touch with public opinion, as Opinium's poll of voter priorities shows 🔽

.David Cameron, inaction is complicity.

Restore funding to UNRWA!

💯. The Tories have utterly failed renters.

Great to see Labour recommit to immediately abolish Section 21.

The Leadership should go further and commit to rent controls too. This housing crisis must be brought under control.

This is absolutely outrageous.

It is clear the Government are doing everything to avoid the right & legal course of action - suspending arms sales to Israel.

They are making the UK complicit in war crimes.

It’s been a year. Diane should be brought back into the Parliamentary Labour Party.
