The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

The magic of having the world's only fully privatised and most expensive energy.

#trevorphillips puts to Victoria Rose what Israel says - that plenty of food is entering Gaza but its being looted. Rose says food isn't getting in, but even if what the Israelis say is true, the way to combat that is to flood the market so there is no incentive to loot

#trevorphillips: The IDF says armed militants use schools & hospitals as command centres, and although I haven't been in Gaza I've been in similar zones & that's not uncommon. British surgeon Victoria Rose: "The only people I've ever seen in Gaza.. with weapons are the IDF"

BREAKING: Israel in panic as aid ship enters Palestinian waters carrying weapons of mass destruction such as milk formula and medicine 😲

Michael Rosen ❤️

I don't care about Gaza because of my religious beliefs I don't care about Gaza because of my political beliefs I don't care about Gaza because of my ideological beliefs I care about Gaza because I am a human being. Mass murder, starvation, and ethnic cleansing are wrong

There is no better example of a failed privatization experiment than Britain’s experience of privatizing water, the very stuff of life. No other country in the world has got itself into this dire predicament, and there is an overwhelming public mandate to get ourselves out of it. And yet

The media want to tell you that 18 year old men are all voting Reform. Well….that just isn’t true. Young men (18-24) are just as likely - and young women are far more likely - to vote Green! Don’t believe the hype. Join the Greens and get behind a real alternative.

If you’re banning bonuses for failing water bosses You should be banning all shareholder payouts from failing water companies If you follow this to its logical conclusion, you should be banning private companies from our water system entirely www.bigissue.com/opinion/tham...

Eid should be a time of joy. But in Gaza, it arrives once again under genocide, siege & starvation. While millions mark the day with heavy hearts, Palestinians endure with strength, defiance & unwavering resolve. We stand with them. Next Eid in a free Palestine, in’sha’Allah 🇵🇸

Global legal experts slam British state's 'misuse' of anti-terror laws against Palestine Action's Filton 18 More than 20 international legal groups have lambasted the British state - and come out on the side of Palestine Action & the Filton 18 www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Banning bonuses for failing water company bosses is important, obvs - but it’s hardly the best we can do? 👀 If we’re serious about ending pollution for profit, water needs to be brought back into public ownership *now*. The fact that Labour Govt won’t even allow it to be considered speaks volumes

True

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I just need a left leaning Labour MP to launch a leadership challenge and this will have been a great Friday.

When I called out UK complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Wes Streeting called it “cheap”. Now he calls it a “horror show” — as if Britain isn’t enabling Israeli genocide with arms and surveillance. A parlour game to him. A “cheap” performance while Palestinians are massacred.

Labour's new rule. A refugee will be rejected for 'bad character' if they arrive by boat, or in back of a truck. But without safe routes, the ones with 'good character' can never get here. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

Francesca Albanese— "I call it genocide b/c IT IS genocide. Defined by intent, not by method or means. Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. B/c of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred."

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

Thank you @greenpartymolly.bsky.social. You said it best: leadership is about real power. Not performance but progress. Not posturing but purpose. Let’s lead with everything we’ve got. #TogetherWeWin

Krishnan Guru-Murthy is a Jedi… when people try to lie their way out of his line of questioning, he’s like a dog with a bone and they invariably tie themselves up in knots If only this could be the journalistic benchmark for every broadcaster

Grateful to host Louis Theroux in Parliament for a screening of The Settlers and a Q&A with MPs. It sparked vital discussions on the appalling situation in Gaza and the West Bank, highlighting the need for greater scrutiny and the breaches of basic decency & democratic norms.

With 1.3 million people on housing waiting lists we desperately need to build more social housing - but instead this government is giving carte blanche to developers to bulldoze communities and nature for expensive housing. Another betrayal from this Labour govt.

The Israeli government is perpetrating war crimes in Gaza and the UK is complicit. I joined the Red Line for Palestine around Parliament today, calling on the government to enact a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel now. #StopArmingIsrael @pscupdates.bsky.social

Majority of Brits back imposing a full arms embargo on Israel, new @pscupdates.bsky.social poll finds leftfootforward.org/2025/06/reve...

I admit it. I broke the rules calling Farage out. I am not sorry- will keep calling him and his fellow travellers out. But making abortion a human right in England & Wales like in Northern Ireland better protects access than me getting into trouble: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...
