Citizens' Assembly South Tyneside (CAST) was formed by local people who felt that our 'ordinary' voices were seldom heard - and even less often acted on.

The far right Israeli government is aiming to drive Palestinians out of northern Gaza. Banning Unwra, bombing civilians and destroying infrastructure is behind this aim. It's ethnic cleansing with a vengeance. Biden, Harris, Starmer and Lammy are complicit in the slaughter.

Yesterday I asked the Minister whether he would apologise for the wait for justice for @WASPI_Campaign women and guarantee proper compensation🐝💵 He declined, and chose instead to give a complete non-answer🤐 #WaspiWomen #WASPI

Remember when Coolio did a gig in Preston, ran into a group of random students outside afterwards and went back to their place, where he made Caprese Salad, Chicken á la Daaaamn and Peach Crumble, and they jammed Gangster's Paradise. What a guy.

Yes, a citizens assembly is needed, not simply as a plea to parliament but as part of reconstructing the state itself alongside the creation of a citizens' sourced constitution @XRebellionUK @democracyOK @demsoc
BREAKING NEWS: Extinction Rebellion supporters have superglued around the Speakers Chair inside the commons chamber. Right now inside Parliament a speech is being read out demanding a Citizens' Assembly Now: “We are in crisis. We can not afford to carry on like this..."

Johnson clings to power thanks to the pusillanimus nature of the 'opposition'. Time to join together and throw out this rotten bunch.
Time for coordinated strike action to bring down the decaying remnants of this corrupt, reactionary Tory government. Seize the time!

In any other era & under any other administration Johnson & Sunak would have resigned by now or failing that there would have been enough decent people within the Party in Parliament & within the local Conservative Associations to demand they step down. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

There is no "solution" to the cost of living crisis. It is part of the crisis of capitalism globally, just like climate chaos and war. Self-organisation for system change rather than a change of government has to be the way forward.

Demonstrators in Almaty, Kazakhstan with Ukrainian national flags and posters reading “No war!” protesting against the Russian invasion. They are gathered around a statue of Lenin, who Putin blames for supporting Ukraine's right to self-determination.
