I've long campaigned for a Wealth Tax - and it’s great to see the call growing stronger by the day. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 BILLION per year. And polls show that 75% of the public supports a wealth tax! Together, we can win this!

From my speech to the amazing togetheralliance.bsky.social demo. Hatred will not build a single council house. Division will not fund our NHS. Racism will not lower a single energy bill. TOGETHER we will take on Farage’s lies and fight for real solutions to the crisis people face.

ID cards are a threat to civil liberties, to data security & risk people’s private info being handed to US tech giants for profit. They’re also a total waste of time and money when the government should be focused on people's real priority: tackling the cost of living crisis. In Parliament today.

Trade union leaders, over 25 Labour MPs and members' groups have launched a new call to end the factional culture coming from the top of the Labour Party and to restore Labour democracy and members’ rights. 🌹Add your name to the call here: tinyurl.com/RestoreLabou...

Fossil fuel giants have driven us to the cliff edge of climate catastrophe while making obscene profits. I've brought a Make Polluters Pay Bill to Parliament to make those most responsible for the climate crisis fund the urgent action we need. Over 40 MPs have backed the Bill!

Why was Mandelson appointed despite everything known about him? Because it served a tiny faction in the Labour Party - backed by big business donors - who wanted him at the heart of power as part of their plan to shift the party away from what a real Labour government should be.

UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010. Workers’ wages have barely risen since 2008. On Newsnight, I called for a tax on extreme wealth - that's the fairer alternative to cuts we need.

The super-rich who run our society always use “divide and rule.” They blame migrants so people don’t see who’s really behind the crisis. Migrants didn’t underfund the NHS, make housing unaffordable or hike energy bills. That was the super-rich - and their rigged economic model.

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 are going to win this!

Graduate debt is a national scandal. It is breaking a whole generation of young people. It’s time for a serious discussion about cancelling student debt. Instead, we should fund higher education through progressive taxation.

Trump’s illegal war on Iran and enocidal threats are part of a dangerous new agenda. The Trump Doctrine means yet more war and ripping up international law. For too long, Britain has acted as the USA’s junior partner. It's time to pursue a truly independent foreign policy.

The “imminent threat” argument for striking Iran does not hold up. The administration cannot even keep its story straight about why the attack happened. When the explanation keeps changing, it usually means there was no real justification.

10years ago this embankment of snowdrops was a gift of 5/8 bulbs. I regularly divide&planted as singles until they’d bulk up&divide again. I also collected their seeds&sowed them to grow on. It took about 3/4 years for them to flower from seed. Sorry I do not know the variety.
