Spoke to Shelagh Fogarty on LBC today – do I think Labour needs a new leader...?

I’m with Gordo on this, the two child cap was a cruel Tory policy, it has no place under a Labour government. It should have been scrapped already. It must be scrapped at the next budget. There are many ways to pay for this, taxing gambling is one, taxing extreme wealth is another. buff.ly/uEEVNQi

I'm against any new drilling, it has all the same problems whether totally new fields or nearby or once abandoned fields - it’s pointless from an energy security and lowering energy bills point of view and its harmful in terms of carbon emissions and perhaps most importantly...... buff.ly/aPYgObp

Sadiq puts it mildly...:)

Incredible. America’s version of democracy, bloated and made toxic by vast amounts of money- has inflicted this bloated and toxic ego on the whole world. It’s a plague on humanity wrapped in a blizzard of deceit, hypocrisy and utterly incessant BS. buff.ly/6MFMv8J

Farage calls it a Boriswave - but that’s just deflection - it’s a result of Brexit, which more than anyone else - was Farage’s project. So it’s a Faragewave really. After Brexit immigration doubled to over 1m people a year - and has stayed ant that level until this year. buff.ly/TxDGtfM

I reckon Lucy Powell is the best choice for Deputy Leader. She is well placed to represent the views of the wider party, members and backbench MPs to the leadership and vice versa. buff.ly/bWOASs7

The Telegraph misreporting what I said was one thing - but the Guardian went further and made their story up entirely…. that was shocking. To be clear, I don’t support drilling for more oil and gas.

Flying the flag of Palestine was always legal, despite what our local council told us - we challenged them to test their opinion in court and they refused, in the end they just stopped talking to us . buff.ly/9cRWs2A

We’re calling for the ban of Israel in European and global football. We’ve banned Russia, who have committed far less atrocities (evil nonetheless).

Huge crowd at the Palestinian mission to celebrate any minute now.

DM shares heartwarming story in a glimpse of its softer side...:) www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

Great move from Keir Starmer and from Britain under his leadership. Overdue? Yes. Will it stop the war? No. But it’s a clear signal to the murderous regime of Netanyahu, sanctions will follow as day follows night - they simply have to. buff.ly/pyLhTmP

Palestinian children were the ghost at this feast.

Football on Prescription is here. If you’ve not heard of it - it’s basically football as medicine, prescribed by your local GP, well if you live in Stroud - but coming to other parts of the country soon..:)

So, Trump calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine like non stop, while blocking a UN call for a ceasefire in Palestine, non stop. Double standards on steroids. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How can we justify banning Israel from international football - I’m asked. They’ve been found guilty of genocide by the UN, openly spoken of ethnic cleansing, and are starving millions of people, to death - is my answer. We banned Russia for far less.

Fab work from our @GreenBritainFoundation. Microplastics are everywhere on the planet even in the organs of unborn babies…..Microplastic often starts life as litter, bigger bits of plastic that break down into smaller particles in the environment. But it lasts thousands of years. @Ecotricity

Actual story here: “Robbie Savage and FGR play by the rules”. In the National League Cup you have to have at least 4 players starting who started in the last league game. To ensure clubs don’t field weakened sides which might fail to give the Prem and Champ clubs a good game. buff.ly/lH4XYHf

Another week, another immigration drama. YouGov says it's our top concern... Really? Not the NHS, rip off rents, or broken public services – but people in dinghies. @RupertLowe thinks he's spotted an invasion in Great Yarmouth…..spoiler: it was a fishing boat. What a joke.

Picture this, Britain with Farage in no 10.

This from the EU proves the double standards still exist, between how we treat Russia and Israel. We aim to ‘break Russia's economy’, with almost 20 rounds of sanctions now in three years - but the aim is ‘not to punish Israel’ - with a downgrade of trade relations. buff.ly/qhYygjy

Finally. Something we can all see, but something without which western governments continue to hide behind weasel words - the UN finds Israel is committing a genocide. The entire law abiding western world now has a legal obligation to act. Having failed with only a moral one.

Lame. 20 rounds of sanctions setting out to break the Russian economy, there is no Genocide there. For Israel we suspend cooperation. It's nowhere near a proportionate response. Or a consistent one.

Trump's state visit isn't just the usual circus... he's expected to sign off on the US-UK modular nuclear reactor deal too. I say the same about modular reactors as I do about traditional nukes... they'll be over budget, late and won't lower your bills for the next ten years.

I’m supporting this campaign to kick Israel out of international football. It should have happened already. own Football Association has a long running campaign against Racism - called ‘kick it out’. And rightly so.

The salmon farming giants are dragging Don Staniford through the courts to shut him up. This is the same industry that spied on him with ex-paratroopers - just for exposing the truth: salmon farming is cruel and cruel filthy business and does enormous environmental harm.

The One Show came to Forest Green (Rovers) this weekend to talk about football as medicine. Tune in tonight at 7pm to see it…:)

It's official, what every right minded person already knew, Israel is committing GENOCIDE in Palestine. The UN says so. There is nowhere left to hide, for Western governments for whom this has been a massively inconvenient truth. It can't be denied or caveated away any longer. t.co/2JLrcXZM0f

Two months ago this bloke said Reform would spend money like drunken sailors if they were in government. Today he says they are making plans to be the next government - does that mean they started drinking……?..:) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Spain is a green energy leader, and guess what - its economy is booming off the back of that - and the lower energy prices Spanish businesses and homes pay. 1/2

We published a new idea last week. It’s about equity (treating fossil fuels the same way we treat green energy), protecting jobs and industry, maximising what’s left in the North Sea, managing the transition to avoid cliff edge events that see operators walk away prematurely..... buff.ly/A9YcpOL

The Guardian have taken down the fake news headline penned by Jillian Ambrose last week and replaced it with a carbon copy of the Telegraph headline on the same story - rather lazy and still misleading.

 Nige's performance in America, he got called a free speech charlatan - I love that....:)

This makes it clear just how small the world is, how limited and precious the air that we breathe is - a fire in Canada kills 80k people worldwide. It’s relevant to low emissions zones, they take a lot of heat from the right wing, usually presenting them as an assault on motorists. buff.ly/C4ilpAY

Football at least has a fit and proper person test, flawed as it is a better one is coming - what does OFGEM have? Will they grant a licence to someone that incites violence and the overthrow of democracy? buff.ly/wYQ0IlG

Another American Idiot, from team Trump, pushing a stupid narrative about fossil fuels. They are the cause of high prices not the answer. These peeps should stay out of our biz, in my view. buff.ly/2WuCr6N

We have our winner….:) buff.ly/GM2fepn

Full time, FGR 1 - 1 Scunthorpe. Felt like a win though…:)

Every year we give every 7 year old in Stroud District - an FGR replica shirt. wWe nominate one game where anyone that wants can come and collect their shirt and watch the game - it’s one of the best match days of our season, with our north stand totally packed with kids.

A new Deputy Leader could bring some new energy to Labour, and a renewed boldness…Like a wealth tax, which the public like even if right wing media (heads up, owned by rich folk) hate it. I say don’t let them drown out our voices.

And still not one single sanction for Israel’s far greater crimes against international law and humanity. WTF. buff.ly/pLOop5C

I wonder if he'll close the company he uses to recieve his GB news wages, be a good test of what he really set it up for. buff.ly/buMFSdU

Farage very much has questions to answer, his partner appears not to have bene able to afford this near £1m house herself, her family appears not successful as Farage claims - and so the question is begged, did Farage dodge tax by funding this house purchase in the name of another? buff.ly/lR6zPmB

Good to see Reform run councils focused on the important things....:) buff.ly/7Td6gz7

Brilliant work from @AnimalRising - getting animal welfare into planning decisions for factory farms (for pets or food) will be Kryptonite for an industry built upon animal abuse. buff.ly/vUVIMdB
