RT @BritishRedCross: Disaster strikes #Afghanistan again - a country where people are already going through so much.

This #earthquake leaves more in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Red Cross Red Crescent teams are surging to provide food, medicines, housing, clean water & temporary housing.

If Rishi Sunak’s £1.9 billion subsidy for fossil fuels isn’t “technically” a subsidy, does that mean it won’t “technically” produce CO2 emissions…? https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/rishi-sunak-oil-fossil-fuel-tax-break-b2106851.html

It's clear that the work of brave ambulance staff in #Brighton has been nothing short of heroic

However I'm extremely concerned about serious issues raised re management & workplace culture - I’ll be following up with @SECAmbulance management urgently

Migrants such as those who made the trip over on #Windrush 75 years ago make such an enormous contribution to our society – that contribution should be celebrated

Now we finally have a date & location for #COP15, we urgently need to redouble efforts to reverse nature’s rapid deterioration

If global leadership is to mean anything, our PM must attend this summit in person & align all domestic nature plans with pledges agreed at COP15

Government in full Humpty Dumpty mode:
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less’
RT @joncstone: Government claims Rishi Sunak’s £1.9 billion subsidy for fossil fuels is ‘not technically a subsidy’ – so compatible with commitment to end them

Shocked that Govt has processed just 2 of 3,000 Afghan refugee applications since April & *slashed* staff working on it by 25%

PM can’t keep ignoring this utter betrayal of Afghan people who put their lives on line for UK. We need action now - incl for @CheveningAfghan alumni

“It makes no sense to be importing coal, when we have our own domestic resources” says PM

Is this the PM effectively greenlighting a new coal mine in Cumbria, when the coal will simply be exported to Europe anyway, & which steel producers say isn’t needed?? #PMQs

It's 6 years since #Brexit vote, yet leaked letter by PM's own Chief of Staff shows Govt thinks best “Brexit benefit” will end up being freedom to give city fatcats the privilege of being paid in shares, while “little people” suffer wage cuts during cost of living scandal #PMQs

The PM just completely swerved that question on whether he tried to wangle a £100K Foreign Office job for his now wife - which is basically an admission of guilt

Maybe something to share with his ethics advisor - oh...

Absolutely essential thread on Dominic Raab’s utterly destructive Bill of Rights - this Bill will drive a forklift truck through our fundamental human rights, and it must be defeated

@libertyhq 👇
RT @marthaspurrier: BREAKING: The moment we feared is here. Tonight the Government has announced scrapping the Human Rights Act & introducing a Bill of Rights. Here's what you need to know about this regressive & scary step...🧵

RT @libertyhq: 🚨BREAKING

This is it. The Government's published its #RightsRemovalBill that:

Strips your rights away

Means authorities don't have to respect your rights

Makes it harder to challenge abuse of your rights

It's time to fight like your rights depend on it. #SaveYourRights

RT @carysroberts: We've heard a lot about wage price spirals & wage restraint recently, & less about profit

But we need to look at both profits & wages to understand who's winning and who's paying

RT @carla_denyer: Shapps is trying to portray the #RailStrikes as a clash:
commuters & tax-payers vs rail workers.

That’s not how it looks from where I’m sitting.

Govt has provoked this strike as part of their politics of division. No wonder @RMTunion members voted 89% to strike. I support them

Utterly absurd that the Govt has scrapped free Covid lateral flow testing, when #COVID19 cases are rising sharply
 
Learning to ‘live with Covid’ can’t mean burying heads in the sand and pretending it doesn’t exist

I helped to hand in @keepnhspublic petition to Downing Street
