Looks like JCB lied and kept trading with Russia after all. How can the Tories possibly think it's ok to accept donations from them? It's blood money pure and simple - and Sunak must do the right thing & give it back.

Under this Government, the UK has lost any shred of credibility as a leader on the climate and nature emergencies. So I'm proud to lead this cross-party demand from MPs and Peers for the Prime Minister to take urgent steps to cut emissions and protect our natural world.

Politicising sex education is unforgivable dangerous & reactionary. It’s always *age appropriate* to give young people skills to stay safe. For younger ones that means teaching about respect & healthy relationships. This is worst kind of arm-chair politics bigoted & ill-informed

The latest inspection report on HMP Lewes continues to raise serious concerns about conditions for prisoners - I've already submitted written questions in Parliament and will be raising with the Minister as well.

Renters cannot keep being squeezed and squeezed and squeezed again. We need a real system for rent controls.

UK is now one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. It is a national crisis - and neither the Tories nor Labour have a plan to address it. So tomorrow I'll be leading a debate in Parliament on UK biodiversity loss - please encourage your MP to take part.

People in Gaza are caught in a sickening Catch 22: can't leave Gaza unless they enrol their biometrics & can't do that in Gaza. Govt urgently needs to set up a family reunion scheme for Gaza as they did for Ukraine

I’ll be there - it’s simply unconscionable that so many in Gaza are caught in an Orwellian Catch 22: they can’t enrol their biometrics because they can’t leave Gaza and they can’t leave Gaza because they can’t enrol their biometrics - we need a family reunion scheme *now*

Sickening to watch Cameron attempting to defend the indefensible - turning evasion and obfuscation into an art form. Govt’s refusal to end arms exports to Israel makes UK complicit in war crimes & the refusal to reinstate funding to UNRWA is unforgivable
