Today - along with other rebels - I got an email from Party Authorities telling me I voted in Parliament against the Govts welfare reforms 6 times in one day. I don't repent my votes. I was elected on a pledge to stand by working class electors and above all the poorest.
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

The inquiry into the events at Orgreave is long over due. I pay tribute to the dedicated campaigners at @orgreavejustice for making this happen. I have called on the government to ensure the inquiry can pursue the trail of evidence wherever it leads.
The privatised water companies have failed in their basic duties. Until we take back control of our water, I suspect that the same old problems will continue.
Deployed by the Thatcher the British State in its entirety turned against the best of the British working class
Orgreave. The Inquiry needs to look at what those of us who were active at the time saw The police The secret service The courts The civil service The whole British State All were bent to the will - often illegally - of the Tory govt to destroy decent mining communities
Yorkshire Water’s hosepipe ban is a symptom of a broken system – it’s time to take back control of our water Me for @YorksBylines 👇 yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/househo…

Starmer's attempt to impose uniformity rather than to win consent isn't leadership; it's intolerance. I stand with Diane
ACTION ALERT - We Stand with Diane Abbott📢📢 ✅ Add your name 👉 bit.ly/WeStandWithDia… ✅ Get sharing on socials & WhatsApp Lets get to 25,000 backing @HackneyAbbott, a champion of the politics of equality, peace & social justice - & send a clear message to Keir Starmer ✊
It is right that these revelations are investigated. We need a total clampdown on private lobbying. Profiteers should not be allowed to use their connections to influence government policy. Government should serve the people, not large corporations or the wealthy.

Take a look Sign up Build a campaign to Reinstate the Whip
Compass, with @PeoplesMomentum and @OpenLabour, is calling for the whip to be reinstated to the four suspended MPs. It is time to build constructive and respectful relationships with all backbenchers and the whole of the Labour Party. actionnetwork.org/petitions/rein…
Good, but why not stop all big corporations giving big financial donations? It's a profound corruption of democracy when money counts more than millions of votes
EXCL: Ministers are planning to close loopholes that could allow foreign money to influence UK elections, with a crackdown on illegitimate donations through shell companies and new tests on political donors. All the details 👇🏼 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Thank you to both of my Constituency Labour Party’s and the wonderful members in them. Your support and solidarity shows the very best of our movement 🌹✊🚩
It's not a sin to stand up for the poor and disabled. Instead of learning from their error the govt has mistakenly suspended 4 decent MPs To the millions of disabled people, their carers and relatives I say this: we fight on for justice. Solidarity with the suspended Four
Britain 2025 When ordinary folk protest about genocide they face police action. But when the governing class f**k up,, imperil lives and cost hundreds of millions of pounds it's all swept under the carpet. No one sacked, prosecuted, held to account, or even named.
