Zack Polanski said that under Labour, not only were water and energy being left in the hands of private monopolies, but that also the government was "breaking up our health service and opening it up to private profiteers".

“This report shows that privatisation has been one of the key drivers of the cost-of-living crisis and growing inequality…

[Labour] must go further and faster to address poor services and rising bills and to tackle the climate emergency.”

UKHSA report shows 2,877 excess deaths caused by May and June 2026 heatwaves, up from 1,500 last year.

Need a fundamental rethink about the design of infrastructure, homes, shops, workplaces.

Need maximum workplace temperature laws to protect workers. Voluntary codes won't give enforceable rights.

US targets Iran in ninth night of strikes in wake of US troop deaths – Middle East crisis live
US targets Iran in ninth night of strikes in wake of US troop deaths – Middle East crisis live
Preliminary deal aimed at ending the war has collapsed as US and Iran fight to break deadlock over strait of Hormuz * US says another troop killed as Israel warns Tehran’s attacks coming close Hello and welcome to our live coverage of developments in the Middle East. The US military says it is beginning its ninth night of strikes on Iran, with an interim deal aimed at ending the war appearing to have all but collapsed. Bahrain’s interior ministry said overnight to Monday that its air raid sirens had sounded. “Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” it said on X. Bahrain, host of the US Fifth Fleet, has been targeted by Iranian strikes in recent days. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Monday it launched a “surprise attack” on an enemy command centre in Syria, in a statement reported by state news agency Irna. They attack was “in revenge for the blood of martyred soldiers of Iranshahr”, a city in south-east Iran, Irna said on Telegram. Iran said it targeted two US bases in Kuwait in response to more than a week of intensifying attacks, which Tehran says have hit transport and infrastructure sites, including an under-construction nuclear power plant. Kuwait and Bahrain have borne the brunt of attacks by Iran on its Gulf neighbours since hostilities resumed this month despite a ceasefire and memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. Jordan also reported intercepting missiles, a day after the US military said the two service members were killed there Friday and another had gone missing in action as they “defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks”. US Central Command’s announcement that a service member died in northern Iraq during the controlled detonation of an unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian drone brought to 17 the confirmed number of American military fatalities since the war began. Iran’s health ministry said on ‌Saturday that 50 people had been killed ​and more than 500 injured in US strikes ​on the country over the past three weeks. Continue reading...

I have written to the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson, calling for the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice to be rejected.

Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.
Image is a letter. It reads: Dear Keir and Bridget, Reject the EHRC’s Code of Practice I am writing as Interim Women and Equalities lead of the Parliamentary Green Party to raise serious concerns over proposed guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is not fit for purpose and will harm trans people living in the UK. The Code of Practice for services, public functions, and associations is the culmination of years of well-funded campaigns to drive a minority group out of British public life. It sets out a system of segregation where trans people are excluded from services and spaces that reflect their gender, and in some cases also excluded from services and spaces that reflect their sex assigned at birth. Where unisex facilities exist, trans people will be forced into them. Where they do not exist, trans people will be left with nowhere to go. Your own Equalities Impact Assessment1 on the code admits there will be a significant impact on those with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment - from forcing trans people to out themselves by using disabled toilets to putting trans women at greater risk of sexual violence by making them use men’s services. The Code of Practice is both cruel and confusing. Inconsistencies between the Code of Practice and its Equalities Impact Assessment, the Gender Recognition Act and the European Convention on Human Rights will leave organisations and service providers at risk of litigation from all sides. Frontline staff in spaces like cafes, gyms, and offices will be forced to police gender, whilst the costs of creating self-contained gender neutral facilities are estimated by your advisors as reaching £600m, which the government is providing no funding to cover.2 I am pleased to see associations, like the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding, given a potential route to serving trans and cisgender women, but this does not counteract the pain caused by the majority of the guidance. Letter continued: By enacting this guidance, trans people will simply be scapegoated. Research by Translucent found there was just one complaint to English Unitary Authorities in 2025 concerning trans women’s use of single-sex spaces, such as toilets and changing rooms.3 By refusing to act, your government is once again playing politics with trans people’s lives, rather than tackling real problems, like the soaring cost of living, rising inequality and the ongoing climate crisis. Trans people of all ages and backgrounds exist in communities across the country - and always have. They have every right to thrive just as their cisgender friends, family members, and colleagues do. When Labour brought in the Gender Recognition Act in 2004 it promised trans people they could live their lives with peace, privacy, and dignity. Now you are breaking that promise. I believe there is a real risk of trans people being essentially segregated from public spaces. I urge you to withdraw the code and take legislative action to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.
