The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform.
That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water.
It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Insane to have to post this but:
Alcohol significantly inhibits the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the brain region responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and planning. This suppression reduces top-down control, leading to impaired judgment, reduced social inhibition, and cognitive deficits.

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote.
Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

If the Greens win the by-election, all of the attention will be placed on how bad this is for Labour. You'll hear very little about Zack Polanski.
If Reform UK win the by-election, all of the attention will be placed on giving Farage a hot stone massage. And it'll last for DAAAAYS.

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.
It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

With the clocks going back an hour in the UK the evenings have really drawn in. As we get to the darkest days remember this is a time when those suffering with depression /MH conditions may take a dip. Check on them, make time in your day and share a cuppa. Be kind, listen with all your senses.
