Why is everything such a fight in the NHS? Why do we have to now fight for the absolute basic of care? Is it simply lack of resources and staff or is there something else going on?

Everything you need to set up a Labour Budget. Terms and conditions apply. Real action on the cost-of-living crisis sold separately.

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politics/mi…

A year ago, the RSF entered El Fasher in Sudan after an 18 month siege, in an attack which killed 10,000 people over two days and the UN found had the "hallmarks of genocide". Last year, UK arms were found in RSF hands in Sudan. The RSF is backed by the UAE: a big importer of UK weapons. When will Labour act against those brazenly breaking the arms embargo?

We *had* a socialist Labour Party 2015-19. As you know. As you also know, @andyburnham refused to support it flounced off to Manchester & left Corbyn to be sabotaged by the Labour machine. And now he & the Labour machine want our support? I don't f*cking think so Vote Green 💚
Burnham has laid out a bold vision for Britain. Now, we must turn his vision into action. Socialists are already organising across our movement. But we need you. It’s time for a socialist Labour Party ready to deliver change. Join Labour. Join Momentum mtm.is/join

“The people are starving, they have no bread” “Let them eat gherkins”
Chancellor John Healey will remove import taxes on marmalade, gherkins and more than 100 products in a move to give families "breathing space" with the cost of living in the Budget. Peter Ruddick told #BBCBreakfast about other changes that will impact motorists, carers and self-employed fathers bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6d9…

Jewish rabbis were attacked by a Zionist while protesting outside the Israeli consulate in New York against the existing stance of the state of Israel. Zionists groups continue to attack, insult, and threaten Jews who speak out. Source @VOJews @authenttorahjew @TorahJudaism

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. They buy govts, control means of production. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations theguardian.com/environment/… up

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts. This is a sign of a democracy in decline.
Nobody wants to buy a service they can’t walk away from. Palantir’s critics have long claimed we ‘lock in’ our customers. We don’t. This short film explains why. It’s the first in a series on the gap between the rhetoric about Palantir and the work we actually do.

I want to remind people about the Israeli elections. Eight Political Parties, 8! Every single one refuses to recognise a Palestinian State and claims Gaza and the West Bank as Israel, while refusing to leave Lebanon or Syria. All to be achieved with Ethnic Cleansing/Genocide.

Labour-Lib Dem smears strengthen Green councillors Andy Burnham and Ed Davey try to bully and divide the Greens but end up mobilising more support for the 'Zionism is Racism' motion. Watch👇

Anti-Zionist Green Cllrs are hitting back! The Labour Party have completely misjudged this and it will hurt them electorally, as long as good people like Alexi and Charlie HOLD THE LINE!

A reminder . ACPs are not qualified to work as Dr substitutes . @NHSuk is trying to kill us with substandard noctors
There has been a lot of discussion re ACPs recently, with some defending that ACPs are qualified to act at ST3 level, I thought it’d be helpful to sample ACP courses. I chose two highly regarded unis (King’s, Edinburg) & then De Montfort to get a good breadth of representation 1/

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation. We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened. For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter. The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening. Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

Today’s UN report stated that Israel uses torture and rape to attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and—like in Gaza—they DELIBERATELY KILL CHILDREN. You have to be sick to still defend this.
