Keir Starmer wants to talk about disgraceful? Try standing with Netanyahu during a genocide. Arming Israel. Sharing intelligence. Refusing to rule out joining an illegal war. That’s the real disgrace.

I really really hope the safeguards and guardrails are good, because unless palliative care and financial support for end of life improves drastically, lots of people are going to find themselves making an unenviable choice.

Can we stop applauding Labour MPs for writing unhappy letters about cuts whilst they remain in the party implementing the cuts and facilitating a genocide. Some of these let downs get such an easy ride from the left and they shouldn’t.

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay2025 - an opportunity to stand with those forced to leave their homes to flee oppression, war and violence across the globe. This week I stood up in parliament to remind MPs of the core British values of compassion and welcome.

45°C in the UK isn’t a disaster film - it’s a Met Office warning. This is what decades of fossil fuel lobbying, political cowardice & climate delay has led us to. This is why we urgently need a bolder Green Party - a party for the people and the planet. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Whether for love, work or to flee danger - people move. Always have and always will. It's the govt's job to make it work - but instead the failing Home Office wastes taxpayer money treating migrants like criminals. Time for something new - my report with ‪@zoejardiniere.bsky.social‬ out today.

It's time to abolish the Home Office. It is not fit for purpose & has totally lost the trust of every stakeholder it serves - We knew that already. So I looked into how it could practically be done for @carladenyer.bsky.social My NEW report out today 👇👇

I had an abortion in my 20s - I know how important it is that women have control over our own bodies and don't face criminalisation for our choices. I am so glad to be 1 of 379 MPs who successfully voted to decriminalise abortion today - an historic vote to protect a woman's right to choose.

Israel's attack on Iran is illegal. Starmer says he wants to de-escalate but is sending military - the very opposite of what he is calling for. And every moment - genocide is being committed in Gaza. There must be an independent inquiry and they must all be held accountable.

At the drop of a jackboot mainstream media (in this case the Guardian) will go back as far as Mesapotamia to try and legitimise fascism, but not to show that trans people have always existed.

'Lesbian and queer resistance to transphobic legislation is not simply a case of one group standing by another, says Pearce. Rather, it’s a collective resistance anchored in an understanding that trans and non-binary people form an integral part of the LGBTQ+ community. '

Looking across the papers today, anti-trans rights commentators and politicians also seem to be the ones opposing making abortion legal. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone - they’re against bodily autonomy. For everyone.

Excellent thread showing very clearly why vehicles with high fronts are so lethal. I stood in front of a parked Range Rover last night and the bonnet height was at my shoulder level - well above my centre of gravity. Cars with high bonnets should have no place on city streets.

Israeli forces killed at least 60 Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday while they were seeking food from a distribution point. And now the Government has admitted that it is currently training Israeli military personnel in the UK. Our Government is complicit in genocide.

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!) Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax

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.

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

Wild that for Streeting's entry, it's mostly about his attacks on the trans community - yet that doesn't preclude him from a list of supposed LGBT change makers. Good job @the-independent.com. Stellar list making.
