Keir Starmer promised one of his first acts would be to introduce the Hillsborough Law. He hasn't – so I have. Tomorrow the Government could block this Bill, or get behind it. Sign my petition calling on the Prime Minister to keep his promise: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pass…

It was great to bump into @garyseconomics as I was delivering my petition for a Wealth Tax to 10 Downing Street. Gary has done an absolutely amazing job making the case for a wealth tax and real action against wealth inequality. This is a campaign we are going to win!

Israel's siege is starving the people of Gaza. We have joined more than 100 aid and rights groups to demand action - before there is no one left to save. Read the full statement here: bit.ly/3GPCpAE

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

In February, we brought you the story of Phil Downey and the instrumental part he played in the creation of #LFC's most famous banner. Sadly, Phil passed away this week. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with his family and friends.

Today I handed in my petition for a wealth tax, backed by over 80,000 people, to Downing Street. The campaign for a wealth tax is growing from strength to strength. Together, we will win this!

UPDATE: 75+ MPs have signed my motion calling on Keir Starmer to fulfil his promise to introduce the Hillsborough Law "in full and without delay". It would be a grave mistake for him to return to Liverpool for Labour conference in September without first fulfilling this pledge.

The infected blood scandal shows why we need the Hillsborough Law. The Prime Minister promised he would swiftly introduce this, but he still hasn't. I asked if the Government realises this pledge must be fulfilled before Labour returns to Liverpool for Labour conference.

Here's a full list of MPs that are currently supporting the wishes of 75% of the UK population in demanding a wealth tax. @RichardBurgon, @Imran_HussainMP, @BellRibeiroAddy, @KateOsborneMP, @KimJohnsonMP, @IanByrneMP, @jon_trickett, @switherdenMP, @HackneyAbbott... 1/2

Jimmy McGovern has crafted many profound lines but this one, on why the British Establishment wants to neuter the Hillsborough Law, might be his finest: “What’s going on there is people are demanding the right to lie.”

McGovern said: “I just think it’s extraordinary. What’s going on there is people are demanding the right to lie. “That’s what it’s all about. “They don’t want a law that will tell public officials that they must tell the truth. “It killed 97 people, Hillsborough, and so they are…

England water bills will rise by a third to fund privatisation. People already paid. Companies didn't invest, paid £85bn in dividends. Customers to pay again for service they don't get. Companies raise capital from customers, shareholders take profits. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"What we're seeing now is the most horrific stage of Israels starvation campaign... Israel has been using aid as a way to bait civilians & has been killing civilians who have been seeking aid..." Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food

Delays to Hillsborough Law ‘extraordinary’, Liverpool writer Jimmy McGovern says | ITV News Granada itv.com/news/granada/2…

TODAY'S LESSON ON GETTING CAUGHT OUT AND AN APOLOGY TO @krishgm Govt claimed yesterday that the £100 billion cost to nationalise the water industry is accurate and that the figures did not come from water companies. Really? Let's see shall we. On the 23rd July 2024 Baroness…

Just read what’s outlined in these two sentences - horror and shocking brutality detailed in a few words… and this is accompanied by the utter despair felt in Gaza at the continuing impunity towards the forces carrying out these attacks

People in #Gaza, including UNRWA colleagues, are fainting due to severe hunger. They are being starved. Meanwhile, just a few kilometers away from Gaza supermarkets and shops are loaded with food and other goods. Lift the siege. Allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
