🔴 Pubs Shut and Streets Close as Police ‘Screen Attendees’ for Oxford Union Tommy Robinson Debate – @josiahmortimer.bsky.social The world's most prestigious debating society is set to host the far-right agitator just days after his return from Moscow. bylinetimes.com/2026/06/17/p...

Politico: The Times "has added a note to its story that claimed Ed Miliband had been “ghosting” Starmer as relations between the pair frayed." "The correction said a call at the center of the story was 'rescheduled by mutual agreement' because [Miliband] was on bereavement leave" after his mum died

Really not beating those 'gone into hiding' rumours

The question now is whether ministers will listen to the public, or keep defending a failed model. Join the campaign here: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

Water Belongs to All of Us - Back the People's Plan for Water!

Privatisation has broken our water system. Evidence shows public ownership can bring fairer, cleaner and cheaper water. That’s why I'm backing the People’s Plan for Water. Join me:

When we started our campaign to bring water back into public ownership, we knew it would be a long, hard fight. Now it’s bearing fruit. This objection hasn’t been made in a vacuum. It’s a response to the fact that we’ve won the argument: water should be in public hands.

I spoke with Rob, a Makerfield resident and Environment Agency whistleblower featured in Channel 4's 'Dirty Business'. He wants to see Andy Burnham @andyburnham.bsky.social elected and water brought into public ownership.

Privatisation broke our water system. No to sewage pollution. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water

🚨 BREAKING: 6 million people are facing hunger in the UK, including 2m children. This is a 20% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels. These new stats from DWP reveal a heart-breaking injustice; too many people are being trapped in severe hardship.

Bereaved Families and Survivors of some of Britain's biggest disasters, injustice and families facing individual state related deaths have today written to the Prime Minister and Cabinet regarding the Hillsborough Law and the "insult" felt by the continued delays.
