Majority
We exist to rebuild our democratic institutions to serve the interests of the many. We do this by supporting citizens to become activists and activists to become leaders. www.majorityuk.org
- Next Wednesday, Andrew Feinstein and I are joining Paul Holden in talking about, The Fraud, his book that details how McSweeny & co captured the Labour Party. Tickets from £2.
- Reposted by MajorityTo tackle political lies why not have mandatory MP training? Making MPs do work experience might help then realise the difference between what they say in elections and what they do in government. My latest article in @thecanaryuk.bsky.social. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...
- 📣Calling all activists!📣 Come and learn about Community Wealth Building. ✊🏼 It sounds fancy but really it’s just a set of principles ensuring money and prosperity circulates within a community or region, and isn’t siphoned off by huge multinational firms. Sign up using link in comments ⬇️

- Reposted by MajorityAny government that wants to end the cost of living crisis will come into conflict with very rich people. But it’s easier to get things done that public discourse would have us believe. My latest article. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2026...
- Majority leader @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social has joined the @greenparty.org.uk. We’re a pluralist progressive movement developing the confident, competent, compassionate leaders of the future. All progressives must combine to stop Farage and his big money cronies trashing our communities ✊🏼
- British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

- This government has once again proven it isn't on your side. It's on the side of big business and the rich. Join Majority today to fight for the workers rights that this Labour government has failed to deliver.

- Reposted by MajorityIt’s a pity that Starmer, Reeves and co haven’t followed Denmark’s other policies. They tax capital gains up to 42% vs Britain’s top rate of 28%. This funds free university and excellent public services, providing the world’s second highest standard of living. www.thecanary.co/opinion/2025...

- NHS trusts are locked into £21.1bn in payments to private firms over 20 years. That’s public money diverted from staff, patients, and repair work, drained by PFI contracts across 69 NHS trusts and 96 buildings instead of frontline care. everydoctor.org.uk/n... 1/10
- In just five years, trusts paid £1.2bn in PFI debt and £1.8bn in interest. That interest alone could fund the starting salaries of 50,044 doctors. Finance wins, patients wait. Staff burn out while money bleeds into private coffers. 2/10
- Total £3.1bn on PFI debt + interest in five years would have cleared the entire £2.7bn “high risk” maintenance backlog. Crumbling wards and failing systems persist not for lack of funds—but because those funds are locked to profit. 3/10

- "Majority legends! ✊🏼 Come rain or shine (luckily it was shine today), our hardy Majority members hit the streets every week. First talking to shoppers at our street stall, then standing together with refugees at the regular anti-racism demo. 1/3

- "This is the continuation (and expansion) of a trend by oil and gas developers to roll back on environmental commitments. It started with flagship offshore wind projects being cancelled, delayed or sold. www.reuters.com/sust... 1/5
- This latest development sees them even cancelling plans to electrify (green) the power supply to their existing North Sea assets. This matters because simply keeping oil and gas assets running needs a lot of power and creates a lot of greenhouse emissions. 2/5
- For example, powering Norway's offshore platforms is estimated to account for 25% of the entire country's greenhouse gas emissions. The plan to electrify platforms means running them on 100% renewable energy (in Norway's case, reliable hydro power). 3/5

View full threadIt's really sad to see this rapid backtracking, especially when, in Equinor's own words, "Electrification of long-lifespan installations is the most effective and cost-efficient measure for achieving the parliamentary resolution of halving CO2 emissions from the NCS by 2030" 5/5
- Starmer’s Labour is using Brexit to benefit big businesses. This is why our NHS is getting weaker, our public sector is shrinking, services failing, and local government is underfunded. But it doesn’t have to be this way – together, we can change this.
- This amendment to the Crime and Policing bill is a shameful attack on the right to protest by this Labour government. Everyone who values freedom of speech should firmly stand against this Orwellian legislation. www.libertyhumanrigh...

- A huge victory for progressive policies and a beacon of hope in dark times. “For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands. 1/3
- Fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery bike handlebars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns. These are not hands that have been allowed to hold power. 2/3
- And yet, over the last 12 months, you have dared to reach for something greater. Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The future is in our hands.” Zohran Mamdani 3/3
