Thanks to amazing team who came canvassing in Denton with me today - we had a lot of fun & fab reception on the doorsteps 🙂. And if anyone is still (weirdly) thinking of voting Labour - one more Labour backbencher will make no difference - the first Green MP from Manchester would be transformative 💪

Should church mission be paid for by the profits from war? News the Church Commissioners, who fund amazing amount of Anglican Mission, that they have changed criteria to increase investment in defence is shocking. If you are outraged by this come and help plan the response.

No one can stop Palestinians from getting their education. On Saturday, the Islamic University of Gaza opened its doors for in-person classes for the first time in the two years since the Israeli military began its genocide.

Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction - and by upgrading ours, we send a signal that it’s acceptable for all other countries to seek to acquire them too, making the world far less safe
