Labour isn't opening safe routes as Mahmood claims. Those laid out effectively already exist, and her proposals limit them more than they currently are. What Labour has done though is close and curtail what safe routes there actually are for refugees. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“De-proscribe Palestine Action, it is not a terrorist organisation.” “The Israeli State is a terror organisation. The IDF is a terror organisation” This brave sign-holder calls out Israel and their genocidal military while being arrested in Sheffield for holding a paper sign.

So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get. Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed

UN compares UK’s Palestine Action ban with human rights restrictions in Russia UN special rapporteur on human rights says the ban is ‘an unnecessary and disproportionate restriction’ on fundamental human rights www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... Lift The Ban: wedonotcomply.org

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I absolutely despise Starmer and the whole government for how far to the right they have gone on attacking vulnerable people. UK pushing for this shows a complete disregard for the lives of people crossing the channel. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Opposing genocide is not terrorism. Make your choice. www.wedonotcomply.org

Today, leading organisation Amnesty says the genocide is not over. Of course UK media has completely ignored this, I mean why would this be newsworthy for our one trip ponies who prefer stop the boats, housewives of Cheshire or ‘immigrants’.

Striking in this debate hosted by @krishgm.bsky.social how many people in the comments are saying that a wealth tax at this point is so obvious. Is it any surprise that the Labour Governments response is to continually try and take swipes at the Green Party? youtu.be/1onr7pAEFRE?...

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Little Stormzy had his first trip out into the "real world". Testing him out to see if he'll be OK for adoptions. Look at him go! I think the early answer is a yes!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

Compassionate asylum policies are not only more humane, but also more cost effective. Instead we have the government pushing some of the most draconian ant-asylum policies in years, increasing the cost of the system at the same time. As @refugeestogether.bsky.social show, there is a better approach.

Welcome home, Ruth. Brava 👏👏👏👏

What a difference 7 days makes. Sienna had some pretty remarkable little wins today ❤️

The reduction in the move on period has been shown to cause homelessness among refugees. It just is not possible for many to find a new place to live in 28 days, or for most people for that matter. It's a harmful, and cynical, manoeuvre by the government, and shifts support needs onto councils.

Two years ago, I introduced a pioneering policy to provide free school meals for all of London’s state primary school children. Today we’re celebrating 100 million free school meals provided since September 2023.
