The UN has been clear that arms sales to Israel for use in
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Gaza
are unlawful. But this Govt has systematically avoided any scrutiny on whether arms licenses in the UK have been reviewed or amended. As 1.1 million people face famine, these are questions which must be answered.

Rising populism makes the search for compelling stories of who we are & who we can be even more urgent. The Right has hijacked our national story. Join me in conversation with fab

There’s good reason unelected Lords shouldn’t generally overrule Commons. But if the Govt rides roughshod over international law & human rights, anyone with the power to stop them, must. Am backing Lords amendments to make illegal & immoral

EU's foreign policy chief is not mincing his words - he says Israel is provoking famine and using starvation 'as a weapon of war'. Where is the same clarity from UK leaders - why is our Govt still failing to call it out and hold Israeli Govt to account?

To address the

Very concerning the latest report from
https://nitter.privacydev.net/hopenothate
shows a huge jump in anti-migrant activity over the last year. This desperate Govt's constant demonisation of the most vulnerable people has consequences.

Great that Treasury Select Cttee is looking at stronger Russia sanctions. I’m pushing with
https://nitter.privacydev.net/Global_Witness
to close loophole whereby eg 1 in 20 UK flights in 2023 ran on Russian fuel refined elsewhere before being imported. More info:

A stream of insults and deflections from a Net Zero Minister turning climate change into a culture war, when what this country needs is a real plan to get the UK on track to meet our 2030

commitments.

I'm tired of the Govt's constant evasion of scrutiny and dangerous complacency on
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23climate
. The fact they're planning new gas plants is an admission of their total failure to invest in the battery and energy storage needed for a secure and flexible supply of clean energy.

What will it take for this Govt to actually call out racism? It could not be clearer here, yet rather than condemning it, they wheel out a white man to say it wasn't about race or gender and we should all move on? Solidarity with
