Don't forget the Tories made it deliberately more difficult for people to cast their votes today by bringing in a new requirement for photo ID - please remember to take it with you and have your say! And if you do have a dog, take them with you too 🐶

It's been yet another awful news week in UK politics, so thought I'd share a story from
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Brighton
that did make me smile this week: looks like 4 Peregrine Falcon chicks have hatched at Sussex Heights this year! You can view the nestbox camera here:

This video is a powerful reminder that we should never take democracy for granted. If you have the right to vote, use it - whether it's tomorrow in the UK, or, if you're an EU citizen, at next month's European elections

Green MP Caroline Lucas asks Rishi Sunak if Israeli troops move into Rafah, "will that be the moment when the Prime Minister finally finds the moral backbone to ban arms exports to Israel?".

Israel does have the right to defend itself. It does not have the right to break international humanitarian law, bomb aid workers or act so disproportionately that over 34,000 Palestinians have now been killed

Sickened
https://nitter.privacydev.net/ukhomeoffice
have posted a promotional video about detaining asylum seekers to send to an unsafe country, Rwanda. This is tantamount to state-sponsored human trafficking & it's being done the day before elections for party political purposes.
We are better than this.

Important debate in Parliament today on the shocking levels of youth homelessness. This is a huge problem in
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Brighton
& it's time we had a national strategy to end youth homelessness, matched with nationwide reform of our broken private rental sector

This was a very serious question about a senior UK politician getting death threats through groups set up and promoted by Tory staffers. The PM didn't even bother to give it a proper response. He pledged to stand up to extremists - but apparently not if they're in his own party.

Sunak was rightly laughed at during
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23PMQs
when he had gall to actually say "we can't have cherry picking of important international agreements" - oblivious to the irony he's been doing exactly that with the immoral, illegal Safety of Rwanda Act he made law last week.

With Netanyahu looking set to launch imminent attack on Rafah in defiance of international humanitarian law, I challenged PM to finally find moral backbone to ban arms exports & end UK complicity in crimes vs humanity. But clearly not. How much more suffering will it take?

It's important that reports like this one from
https://nitter.privacydev.net/BBCNews
tell people how much the Rwanda scheme is actually costing us. It's not £3k. Eg.
https://nitter.privacydev.net/IPPR
estimates £228k. People deserve to know how much extra this Government is willing to pay to be this cruel.

The
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23G7
commitment to phase out coal power by early 2030s falls far short of what the
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23climateemergency
demands.
For a liveable future we need to urgently phase out *all* planet-choking fossil fuels - coal, oil & gas - & richest countries must lead the way
