Anyone else seeing the link between cutting the internet in Gaza… …and starting a war with Iran? The Netanyahu government is sick & criminal.

Tree of the Day, Gaza. With thanks to Mandy Blackman, sending me the view from the hospital compound where she is working, and who loves to see trees still standing when so much else has fallen

Big digital billboards can emit 11 homes' worth of energy and cause harmful light pollution - but local authorities aren't allowed to take this into account when deciding whether to allow them to be built. This week I called for this to be changed #BetterWithoutBillboards @adfreecities.bsky.social‬

MPs are being absolutely flooded with emails urging them to support Amendment NC20 to entirely decriminalise abortion. Here's why 👇🏻. goodlaw.social/2f9c

Hearing this from quite a few people in Reform UK-controlled councils. From a local reader: "There are rumours as in other Reform UK controlled councils that a number of those elected stood to ‘make up numbers’ & never thought they would be elected & now don’t feel able to commit the time required"

IT’S NOT TOO LATE for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment Contact your MP, NOW

Reform are Britain's Far Right Party. Call them what they are. #r4today

Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits... #PMQs

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

Enormous respect to Prof Andrea Sella for this deeply principled stand for what matters in science. Those at the Royal Society who bow before science-denying Elon Musk should hang their heads in shame.

May I suggest that members of the European Parliament bombard David Lammy with questions about what the British Foreign Office is doing about state-sponsored Israeli pirates hijacking a UK registered ship in international waters meme Amer Awad

Last week, Wael Al-Dahdouh delivered a speech to UK journalists compelling them to use their platforms to speak out against Israel's genocide in Gaza or risk complicity in genocide. #AmnestyMediaAwards #Gaza #Palestine

#Renationalise now!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board. That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference. Bending over for Farage puts the BBC in the gutter with the Daily Mail. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

2024: Rachel Reeves cuts the Winter Fuel Allowance 2025: Rachel Reeves reveres cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance This feels more like Labour responding to Reform, rather than Labour actually caring enough about pensioners

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.

After years of platforming Farage way beyond his importance this can only fail. Reform voters will never trust the BBC no matter how hard she tries to appease them. It will annoy even more all those centrist listeners who are already on the brink to switch it off. Genuinely don’t get it.

Developers are sitting on land to boost profits. This is a crisis that's holding up housebuilding. Ripping up nature protections won't solve this problem.

This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

‘After WWII, we built a welfare state because we believed in each other. Now we’re letting it rot. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’d gladly pay more tax. Wouldn’t you?’ An anonymous plea to Rachel Reeves #SpendingReview #TaxResponsibly

Yes, we need to beat Reform But the answer to populism can't be more populism It's using the power we have achieved to make real change in our country Not encouraging people to engage in magical thinking Do listen to this podcast interview with one of our brilliant MPs x.com/BylineTimesP...

#Renationalise water now

A gigantic new AI datacentre to be built in Lincolnshire is projected to release five times the carbon dioxide of Birmingham airport. A planning application for the facility has been submitted to the local council. The public consultation is open for another three weeks.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

They call protest performative but what else do we have, when elected representatives are unrepresentative and choose inaction? Their silence, collusion. Every moment they refuse to act proves how unfit they are to represent anyone but themselves. Greta is extraordinarily brave.

Not on your nelly. After years of pumping sewage into our rivers—and £billions plundered by investors—Thames Water should now slip quietly into receivership and be refashioned as a Public Benefit Company. One that serves people and planet, not shareholders. #PlanetBeforeProfit

More misogyny aimed at Greta Thunberg. Anyone who thinks she’d speak out for any reason other than moral conviction has no clue how women with platforms are treated- even if they silently comply. Netanyahu’s massacre is globally enabled. So she is incredibly brave to this.

Philp gulps his way through the Sunday politics shows, pretending he was a lone voice urging restraint while Liz Truss grenaded the economy… admitting ‘mistakes were made’ but refusing to apologise. The arrogance and the delusion are beyond tedious now. Just go TF away, all of you. You’re done.

Thames Water’s £4bn rescue deal just collapsed… and so should the idea that private equity can run our essential services. £20bn in debt, rivers full of poo, and shareholders pocketing billions. Privatisation is a shit show - Thames is the ultimate proof of that.  buff.ly/x47yFyY

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

Most Brits think we should stay in the ECHR and protect our British-European values… Makes perfect sense. And also- 1) It protects us from Trump-like behaviour with his own citizens 2) It underpins our criminal data-sharing with Europe. Leave ECHR and we’d become a haven for criminals.

1/2 I was amongst several Labour MPs who joined thousands of protesters outside parliament demanding the UK place sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel as Prime Minister's Questions took place last Wednesday. In this clip, I explain why.
