isn’t offering it. We need a Govt unafraid to tax super rich, invest in Britain, act on climate & stand up for human rights here & abroad. We need Green MPs more than ever to demand better

pensions Minister under under Cameron Govt, Ros Altmann says when she fought for pensions justice for 1950s women she was instructed “be quiet, these women will go away just don’t engage with it at all”
What disdain for fairness. They underestimated

Whilst Keir Starmer is right to point out that Rwanda plan is an undeliverable gimmick, where is the moral challenge to Sunak’s cruelty, to his nasty populist cant- why not also speak up for the rights of refugees and attack the principles of the disgusting Rwanda Bill?

Sunak's continued attacks on Starmer's role as Chief Prosecutor is an attack on our courts, an attack on the legal right to a defense, an attack on the foundations of our democracy and it has to stop

46C summer days and ‘supercell’ storms are Britain’s future – a deafening alarm call for urgent action now. If you think climate “adaptation” isn’t an emergency, please read this 👇

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.

Infuriating to hear stream of totally inadequate responses from Ministerial stand-in for our unelected Foreign Secretary during Urgent Question on famine in
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Gaza

"Miliband is expected to say Labour will create conditions for private sector investment in renewable energy, grid upgrades & clean technology." Spot on but Ed knows public sector investment is precondition for private. Here’s hoping he can persuade leadership to reinstate £28bn

So Tory MPs just voted 328 - 250 against complying with “domestic and international law”.

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

marginally less dangerous
[2024-03-18 20:25 UTC]
Surreal to be walking through voting lobby to support an amendment that simply attempts to ensure Govt legislation is fully compliant with the rule of law. WTF has happened to standards of Tory MPs voting the other way? This shouldn’t even be in question.

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?
