Knock on doors, deliver, phone, write, sort... let's do this!

Sunak’s govt is hiding behind convention of not sharing legal advice to avoid even admitting whether the Attorney General advised PM about war crimes in Gaza – if war crimes aren’t a rare exception to the rule to keep legal advice secret – what would be under this immoral govt?

Walney's report is dangerous, draconian and undemocratic. Masquerading as an independent report, it is an overtly political hit job on our most fundamental civil rights, including the right to protest and trial by jury. We cannot afford to underestimate how serious this threat is

Last year, Southern Water released raw sewage into our waters for 317,285 hours, up 116% on the year before. Now they are asking Ofwat if they can put up our bills by a whopping 91% to pay for their failure? It's an outrage. What an absolute scam.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The Government has just published a report demanding draconian new anti-protest powers, specifically to protect defence and energy companies, while failing to mention its author's role as a paid lobbyist for... arms and fossil fuel industry groups

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas raises a point of order about the Government's publication of a report demanding draconian new anti-protest laws to protect the defence and fossil fuel industry, while failing to mention its authors ties to those industries https://bylinetimes.com/2024/05/21/sunaks-anti-extremism-adviser-demands-protest-bans-to-protect-defence-and-energy-firms-while-working-as-lobbyist-for-arms-and-fossil-fuel-industry-groups/

I pay tribute to all those who fought for justice on

for so long & welcome Govt finally accepting urgency of compensation. But there will be an accountability gap without an independent body to monitor & oversee implementation of report's recommendations

The Govt's climate plan has been ruled unlawful - twice. So I asked if they'd finally do better & stop relying on magic technofixes. Apparently my q wasn't "credible" as the UK is already doing great. Was High Court ruling also not credible? Or

saying we're off track?

The ICC has applied for warrants to arrest both the leaders of Hamas and Israel for war crimes. What more will it take for the UK Govt to end our complicity, act on the evidence and immediately revoke all licenses for arms exports to Israel?
