Glad to speak at cabinet today in favour of the congestion charge and consultation - arguing for weight based charging, so that smaller vehicles pay less. Thank you to all the residents who have been in touch with me about the scheme.

Trump should note that the American Revolutionaries looked far weaker than the mighty British Empire, but nonetheless, with a fair amount of aid from France, they won the war. Ukraine is now fighting for its independence.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert.

The extent to which the "don't wait for facts, instantly endlessly blame renewables, something something inertia" crowd won the propaganda battle over blame for the Spain/Portugal blackout is pretty staggering. Slow official investigation left a void of facts, which that crowd happily filled.

In the absence of responsible Government, here's what you can do to help preserve a liveable climate. Many people can't afford to take climate action without Gov support, but those who can are generally the highest emitters with the most responsibility. More info: www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I have voted to decriminalise abortion. The 1967 Act really only set out grounds for exceptions from what stayed a criminal offence. Today we start to treat abortion rightly as a regulated healthcare choice. It should be a clear human right to access abortion when you need it.

Tonight I have voted to decriminalise abortion. I did so because I believe these changes to abortion law will protect vulnerable women. Today Parliament is clear that abortion will rightly be treated as a regulated healthcare choice.
