Privatisation has been a disaster for rail.

Prices are sky-high, services are poor and private companies cream-off the profits.

That's why Labour's pledge today – to bring rail into public ownership – is so welcome.

Let's run services for the public good, not private profit 👊🏽

Where is the outrage now that mass graves have been found in Gaza?

Why don’t we know more about the bodies found with hands tied & clothing stripped?

Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this?

Where is the international condemnation?

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide

Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500.

It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record.

I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵

1 in 3 disabled renters are forced to live in unsuitable homes.

Despite the availability of government funding, landlords often decline requests to make homes accessible.

I tabled an amendment to the Renters Reform Bill to stop landlords unreasonably refusing home adaptations.

Movements against past injustices (e.g. the Vietnam war or apartheid South Africa) were demonised at the time but were vindicated by history.

The same will be true of protests against genocide in Gaza.

Solidarity with those standing-up for what's right, here & around the world.

45 years ago today, Blair Peach, a schoolteacher and anti-racist campaigner, died as a result of being hit over the head by police. He, along with thousands of others, was demonstrating against the National Front in Southall. Rest in power.

1/6 Today @glan_law & Palestinian rights group @alhaq had their case revived + granted a full judicial review hearing at High Court on October. This challenges the UK govts failure to halt weapons exports to Israel, risking violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.

Parliament passed the Rwanda Bill last night, clearing the way for the Tories' cruel anti-refugee policy.

Today five people – including a child – died in the Channel as they sought sanctuary in Britain.

Instead of demonising refugees, we must show humanity & create safe routes.
