I’m a dedicated Gooner but I’ve become a Lewes FC owner because I believe fan ownership is the future. And Lewes was the first club to treat women and men footballers equally. We can all show our support Lewes FC Women

I remember when Liz Truss, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab etc wrote that British workers of being the ”worse idlers in the world”. Turns out that CCHQ thinks Tory MPs are.

It’s said imitation is the highest form of flattery. But Tory councillors posed in hi vis pretending to be actual workers? Cons Party HQ shambles. Dearie me.

A desperate claim from Sunak. Local election results - when voters are more likely to back independents/small parties - are not a good predictor of general elections. The Tories are far behind in national polls cos this is the only parliament in history to leave people worse off.

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.

Let’s all back amazing Amazon workers standing up for the essential British liberty of a union voice at work. Solidarity works.

Some say it doesn’t matter that the PM spends hundreds on Prada shoes or owns a Kensington home valued at £7m. But Keir’s right - there’s something unedifying about a man who married into massive wealth leading a pile-on against a woman who worked her way out of poverty.

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.

Lord Ashcroft has tried to create a shitstorm around Angela Rayner over unproven allegations concerning £1,500. But when you try and question him about avoiding taxes worth millions of pounds, he hides in the toilet...

When workers strike against pay cuts ministers say they’re holding the country to ransom. When shareholders strike ministers prepare to roll over. 1980s Tory privatisation of natural monopolies was just a scam. Taxpayers take note. We were robbed.

A shocking 1.1m people on zero hours, 3.7m jobs paid below the real Living Wage and the UK has one of the worst income inequality rates in the OECD. Meanwhile productivity, investment and growth are at rock bottom. The rules are rigged against working people. Time to modernise.😉
