Rather than encouraging staff to resign for caring about human life - how about Labour MPs who have watched this happen & tried to silence dissent lose their seats instead?

This may not be an austerity #SpendingReview, but it certainly isn't the start of a decade of renewal. Departmental spending will be increasing at its lowest rate since the 2015 spending review from George Osbourne. 1/2

This smacks of tokenism. These two are not rogue MPs, but Government ministers. They act with the full backing of the state. The sanctions should be on the Israeli Government, not against individuals www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The departure of Zia Yusuf from Reform UK leaves a huge hole. That’s not a very nice thing to call Nigel Farage, but I have to be honest.

The unfolding catastrophe in Gaza - its scale, its cruelty, its deliberate, systemic destruction - is no longer simply a humanitarian crisis. It is a political and moral reckoning. I have written to the Prime Minister to ask: Do more. Do everything that can be done. And do it now.

Why are we still criminalising people for cannabis? The London Drugs Commission just called for decriminalisation, with Mayor Sadiq Khan demanding urgent change. 1/3

We need a credible alternative to the self-serving leadership of Labour, the Tories, and Reform Voting for @zackpolanski.bsky.social as leader of the @greenparty.org.uk will help the party be that alternative

Another day, another 'press conference' for childish political attacks. Neither Labour or Reform have the ideas or the political will to fix the inequality crisis. Only the Green Party would tax the super-rich fairly to help fix our public services and close the inequality gap.

"Our hands are not tied.. if we want to do something about it, as we did in the past, South Africa is a very good example during apartheid..." Over 800 lawyers have signed a letter demanding the UK govt impose sanctions on the Israeli govt. Michael Mansfield was one of them.

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

Today, small children in Gaza are dying of starvation. Just a mile away, hundreds of trucks sit full of food. The IDF blocking them entering. This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.
