NEW: More than 20,000 people have signed a petition calling for a public inquiry into the UK Government's complicity in the Gaza genocide
Poverty and inequality are not inevitable.
We need a budget for the people — one that taxes the rich, ends corporate greed and protects our natural world!
Wealth taxes, public ownership and social care for all!
What do Jeremy Corbyn, Sir Ed Davey, Robert Jenrick, John McDonnell and Alicia Kearns want to see in the budget?

We've had enough of budgets that tinker around the edges. It's time for fundamental, transformative change.
Ahead of tomorrow's budget, I have written to the Chancellor to urge him to take on vested interests, end the failure of privatisation and tax the rich.

Jeremy Corbyn has backed fresh calls for an independent inquiry into the UK’s role in Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
The former Labour leader is supporting a parliamentary petition calling for a probe into “any British involvement in Israeli operations” in the enclave, “including the sale, supply or use of weapons, surveillance aircraft and Royal Air Force bases.”
The petition, launched last week by trade unionist and Your Party organiser Jennifer Forbes, has amassed over 20,000 signatures. “We believe the UK has played a vital role in Israeli military operations in Gaza,” it reads.
It calls for a “fully independent” inquiry that would have the power to “question government ministers and officials involved in decision-making processes” about weapons sales, intelligence gathering and the use of RAF bases.
It would also seek to establish what legal advice was sought by the government “in assessing whether a genocide has taken place in Gaza.”
Andy Burnham’s government last week rejected Corbyn’s call for an inquiry, arguing an investigation was unnecessary due to the “extensive mechanisms already available for parliamentary accountability and oversight”.
In response, Corbyn wrote on Instagram: “If the government has nothing to hide, then why block our efforts to expose the truth?”
Because the petition has already passed the threshold of 10,000 signatures, the government must now give a formal response. If it reaches 100,000 signatures it can be debated in parliament.
In June, MPs debated Israeli influence on British politics after more than 118,000 people signed a petition calling for an inquiry.
Ayoub Khan, Independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, was among those who backed the earlier petition. “With every decision this government has made, it’s not only reasonable to ask questions about political influence in Britain, it’s necessary,” he said.

Seven years ago, Lula was in prison serving an unjust conviction.
Today, he is the re-elected president of Brazil.
In 2018, he said “there is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air”.
Lula’s ideas don't just linger. They live!
Viva Lula!

Read that again.
This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.
End all military cooperation with Israel, now.
