300,000 people a year are dying waiting for a hospital appointment.

14,000 died in A&E Depts.

39,000 died prematurely of cardiovascular conditions.

Inflicting death is a political choice.

Country that can fund wars, bailout banks, can also save lives.

Britain's railways are simply not delivering.

Labour has a plan to get them back on track, to put passengers first, and to get Britain moving 👇

Rail in public ownership…

Good for passengers, taxpayers, UK economy, rail staff, the environment.

Not so good for the shareholders who’ve extracted profit from our railways for decades but can’t run trains on time.

Works for me.👏👏 ⁦Louise Haigh⁩

Front page of the Mirror on Labour’s plan to bring rail back into public ownership. A better, greener transport system is key to help get Britain growing again. Credit to Lou Haigh and her team for rolling up their sleeves, ready to get the job done.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Frank Field. He will be remembered for his tireless campaigning to address poverty over many years, both in Wirral & across the UK. My thoughts are with his loved ones.

The privatisation of water has been a total and utter disaster.

Stop bailing out greedy private companies and bring our water into public ownership instead.

In the most challenging of circumstances, medics in Gaza are doing whatever they can to save lives.

Horrifically, this child was born an orphan with her parents and sister killed in an Israeli airstrike.

We must have a ceasefire now.

Restore the whip to Diane Abbott MP the first black woman MP. Diane has fought for social justice for decades - she should be back in the Parliamentary Labour Party 🌹

Here's the truth about trickle-down economics.

This is fantastic from Sadiq Khan:

He has pledged to make free school meals for all primary school pupils *permanent* if he's re-elected on 2 May.

This should be rolled out across the country, guaranteeing every primary school pupil gets a hot, healthy meal each day.

I raised in Parliament the latest situation in the West Bank where following death of an Israeli child, settlers went on the rampage with 4 Palestinians killed & many more injured whilst IDF soldiers were videoed standing to one side & observers are now prevented from acting.

Today I launched my manifesto for a third term as Labour Mayor of the Liverpool City Region.

It's my promise to the people of our area - to make our region the best place to grow up, grow old and grow a business.

Together, let's take back our future 👉 steverotheram.com/lcrs-future/

The richest Prime Minister in history – worth an estimated £529,000,000 – is demonising sick and disabled people.

He wants us to blame our problems on anyone but the real culprits:

The Tory government, their super-rich donors, and a system that puts greed before human need.

Memo to Sunak.
❌ The UK is not a sick note country.
❌ It is decades of neoliberalism & austerity that have broken this country.
✅We need investment in people & services.
✅We need a right to good food & homes.
✅We need a publicly owned NHS
✅In short: Socialism.

FT: 16 monopolies have paid out a total of £78bn (adjusted for inflation) in dividends since privatisation and racked up £64bn net in debt over the same period. No prizes for guessing who will end up footing the bill. Water privatisation = almighty rip-off.

I asked the Prime Minister a very simple question today:

Has the Foreign Office received official legal advice saying Israel is violating international law?

He couldn't give me a straight answer.

This is a major welcome step forward by Sadiq in bringing our buses back under public control to serve the interests of Londoners & to plan the future of our transport system.
Sadiq Khan to review bringing London buses into public ownership cityam.com/sadiq-khan-to-…

The country needs change.

Today is the last day you can register to vote in the local elections and help to make it happen 👇

Today my thoughts are with the families of the 97 Liverpool fans who were unlawfully killed & the many people impacted by the Hillsborough disaster. I pay tribute to the families who have fought so hard for justice. #JFT97

5 days after the 0ctober 7th, attack, which I’d condemned, I expressed in this video my fear of escalation of violence & urged international pressure to prevent this. Now international pressure is needed to halt a tit for tat escalation & to draw a line under the military action.
