Despite being on the brink of collapse, Thames Water recently paid out £158,000,000 in dividends and its CEO gave himself a £195,000 bonus. Now our bills will go up by 22% in five years. The public shouldn't be paying for the failures of privatised water. Stop the bill hike.

We’re giving Keir Starmer #100Days to commit to public ownership of water. If the new government doesn't bring water into public hands, we'll take down this failing industry and take back our water. The countdown to the first strike wave starts today 👉 takebackwater.uk

Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years. They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: tinyurl.com/yeymfb96

🚨 NEW: I'm launching a fundraiser to poll Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn's seat), so we can get some clear data on the contest. But polling is expensive, so I need YOU 🫵 We need to raise £7,000 by 17 June to make it happen. LINK: gofundme.com/f/IslingtonPoll

The #FreedomFlotilla has completed technical & crewing requirements to launch our emergency mission on Friday April 26. Tons of life-saving aid & 100s of human rights observers to ensure aid gets to Palestinians in Gaza without interference #BreakTheSiege freedomflotilla.org/2024/04/24/fre…

Lawyer @huwaidaarraf explains how the Freedom Flotilla mission is completely legal, & that any interception of the ship by Israeli authorities would go against international maritime law. #BreakTheSiege #WarCrimes

How about at the same time: 1. The release of the 9,000+ Palestinians illegally and arbitrarily imprisoned without trial under Israel’s military and national security laws 2. The dismantling of all illegal settlements in Occupied Territories and the immediate evacuation of…

Why stop at a ceasefire? Let's end this war once and for all. Very simple, three things need to happen in order to finish this conflict, and prevent the next one: 1. First and foremost, the release of all hostages. 2. The surrender to Israel or an International Court of all…

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas… Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest medical facility the al-Shifa Hospital… THIS IS A GENOCIDE...🇵🇸💔


Dr Simon Thorpe Reposted

.@AOC and UNRWA vote: “If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents…Blocking assistance from one’s closest allies to starve a million people is not unintentional.”


Considering masters study? Consider my good friend @DrMukhers's MA Political Comms at Goldsmiths. Never more relevant than today.

🎓Five reasons to study MA Political Communications in a time of crisis! 🧵(1/5) 1) Explore media and political power today Learn about social media and digital parties, protests and populism, conspiracy theories, fake news & many more aspects of our intersecting global crises.

Overnight Israel carried out a deadly assault on Rafah, a so-called "safe zone" where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians were sheltering. Words of condemnation ring hollow. Political leaders must finally act & call for an immediate ceasefire & an end to all arms sales to Israel.
