BREAKING: screenshots of far right group chats reveal fascists using N word and P word, and talk of hanging Yvette Cooper. These are the fascist thugs who have been rioting in the last week. Join us to build a movement to oppose them on the streets and stop them

Douglas Murray was scheduled to host a fundraiser for Israeli soldiers in London tonight, but the event was cancelled after workers refused to staff it even when they were offered triple pay.

I saw @MartinSLewis on @GMB today and had a look at my Tarriff It turns out those of us who are worst off and on pre-pay with @EON_Next can’t access the cheapest tariff. This is deeply troubling, not to mention unfair. We have less but we’re paying so much more; let’s not forget our SC is higher. What can be done let’s work together to get this changed? Come on EON, do the right thing. Please. #DisabilityTwitter #EON #Energy4All #ParentCarer
WhatsApp screen shot with EON next customer services reads: I've had a look for you and because you are on Smart Pay As You Go - we only have the 1 tariff for Smart Pay As You Go, the Next Pledge is for credit meters

You’d totally expect a scaremongering, racist tirade like this coming out of the BNP or the National Front. But this one is a Tory MP, Nicholas Fletcher. He blames migrants for housing problems and shortages in Doncaster, but he’s a landlord who owns 10 buy-to-let properties.

#Sheffield Council is flying the flag of an apartheid regime conducting a genocidal campaign against a captive civilian population, ⅔ of whom are refugees & ½ of whom are children. Israel has cut off water, food & medicine to #Gaza. The Council is supporting war crimes.

Our economy is broken, this Tory government has done exactly what it says on the Tory tin, make the rich richer and enable rampant #profiteering. Labour must make different choices, like taking our energy back into public hands. #LPC23 Full speech ➡️ shorturl.at/biPX6

Bring energy back into public ownership

Labour's job is to be the voice of workers and our communities and yes, it should make different choices, we must take energy into public ownership.

Replying to @CraigMurrayOrg
I watched the smear film made about Waters last night. It is deeply antisemitic. It conflated criticism of Zionism and Israel with criticism of the Jewish people. This is fundamentally wrong. Shame on those who made the film.

Photo from inside the arts tower. Students hold up 3 banners. The largest, written in green and black and splashed with red pain to look like blood, says ‘£72.000,000 IN BLOOD MONEY’. In front is a smaller one which says ‘S.H.A.G’ in red and underneath ‘SHEFFIELD ACTION GROUP’ in black. To the left is a banner in pink and purple which says ‘STUDENTS SUPPORT THE STRIKE’

CEOs at biggest UK companies received an average pay rise of 16% last year. This was their reward for pushing up inflation, profiteering from price rises while making misery for millions of us. The economy isn’t working for workers or our communities. theguardian.com/business/202…

This week we handed in a 38,000-strong petition opposing further rises in the pension age. Company profits have skyrocketed since 2019. Workers create this wealth and we demand our share in our old age. Show support: megaphone.org.uk/p/68-too-la… #68istoolate @ScotPensForum @NPCUK
