👋🏽 My critique of our foreign policy, Israeli’s policy towards Palestinians or that of any foreign nation will not change.
As a person who suffered the horrors of war and persecution, my advocacy will always be for those that suffer because of the actions of governments.

Shell's obscene £32,200,000,000 profits reminds us it's not a cost-of-living crisis because there's not enough wealth.
It's a cost-of-living crisis because the super-rich have hoarded all the wealth.

The Tories blocked my Bill to extend free school meals to all primary school kids last week.
The week before that they rejected a motion to end private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break.
The Tories' priorities: Protecting tax breaks for private schools, not feeding hungry kids.

This is clearly a private matter between Nadhim Zahawi and his offshore accountants.
Israeli forces killed 17 Palestinians in 19 days in West Bank, several of them children. Early this AM a teacher and father of 6 was killed while witnesses say he rushed to help another injured man. The many thousands of Israelis protesting for “democracy” are not addressing this

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.
Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

Tonight I spoke against Government’s attack on workers’ rights, which undermines the basic human right of a worker to withdraw their labour. Nurses, ambulance drivers & railway workers face sack if they take strike action & refuse a minister’s instruction to break the strike.

Wholesale Gas has just crashed to a new low. Just 150p per therm compared to 702p in August.
An energy boss who’s company made £20 billion profit last year today says high energy bills are here to stay.
We must fight back. This is a rip off.

Watched Farha last night on (kudos for standing up to the shitstorm you likely get). Such a vivid reminder of what Palestinians have endured since 1948. So many of these once beautiful villages lying in ruin. Deliberately kept that way as part of the Nakba denial.
This is intolerable bullshit, .
Noura Erakat is a major figure in #Palestine advocacy and an eloquent Palestinian-American spokesperson. She was hacked and suspended with no notice of any suspicious activity.
One might think you're trying to stifle #Palestinian voices.

Great to stand with Mick Lynch and members of the on the picket line at Euston this morning.
Rishi Sunak is wrong if he thinks his latest anti-union threats will intimidate workers into silence.
We will keep campaigning & organising across the country until we win.

This week we are featuring some extraordinary Irish women in honour of #NollaignamBan. Mary Ann McCracken campaigned for the abolition of slavery, and argued that the liberty & equality sought by the United Irishmen should be extended to women. dib.ie/biography/mccr #DIBLives

Steve Barclay is to the NHS as Clarkson is to Meghan Markle.
Not that there was ever any doubt really but, J Clarksun is a racist and misogynist pig. He represents every right wing characteristic that has come to typify gammonville.
Mick Lynch somehow got to explain the Labour Theory of Value on the BBC.

KeIr Starmer has said he does not see the circumstances in which Jeremy stands as a Labour candidate at the next election. The circumstances are straightforward. KeIr returns the Labour whip to Jeremy & Jeremy is then able to be selected by local members.
