Here's a story that shouldn't have to exist. Senior MPs are spouting so many lies about newcomers to this country that we need long stories like this to correct them Find out the truth about some of the numbers you might have heard here:👇 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

New petition: "Ban the sale of Israeli products until Israel ends its military actions in Gaza" Deadline 8 January 2026, created by Chris Gleed-Owen #NewPetition

Shame on you @telegraphnews.bsky.social for giving infamous UK anti-vaxer Aseem Malhotra a platform on the very day we learn a child has died of measles in Liverpool. You do understand, don’t you, that it’s exactly this kind of scaremongering that leaves parents so anxious & afraid? Shame on you.

UK welfare spending "too expensive". Also UK Welfare spending, almost the lowest in Europe.

Please sign this petition to ask the government to do more to improve the lives of people with Parkinson's though improved funding and implementation of the "Parky Charter". petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Some "Gender Critical" activists tried to sue people protesting against them screening an anti trans hate film. They LOST The judgement is crazy to read as they talk about me a lot in it! The GCs tried to argue that me giving a talk about all the hate I received from GCs made them feel...

The @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ship 'Madleen' heading for Gaza has been intercepted by Israel in international waters. We must see the immediate and unconditional release of all Madleen crew members. And we desperately need immediate and unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza.🇵🇸

14 years of Tory austerity. Labour doubling down. It's time for different choices. #BackZack

Release the Madleen crew immediately, end Israel's genocide now! Palestine Coalition statement on Israel's illigal hijacking of the #MadleenToGaza #FreePalestine #StopArmingIsrael #EndTheGenocide

Dear Labour: the public want more social housing, NOT a blank cheque for developers to build more luxury homes that only the richest can afford.

Bottom trawling tears up fragile seabed habitats & harms the life that depends on them. Today’s UK Government decision to ban it in 40+ Marine Protected Areas offers hope: a chance to let our seas recover & life return. 🌊 Let's see Marine Protected Areas live up to their name.

Oil and gas giants have made huge profits for decades while driving the climate crisis. I'm backing the @makepolluterspay.bsky.social campaign to make the biggest polluters contribute their fair share towards tackling the crisis and protecting our communities and economy.

Today marks the start of National Blood Donor Week 🩸 The NHS continues to face its worst ever shortage of blood donors. If you have been thinking about giving blood but putting it off, now is the time. Sign up today and book an appointment: blood.co.uk

Remember: it’s not endorsements that count - it’s votes. If you want to stand with all the Green councillors & members who’ll be voting for me this summer, join us at join.greenparty.org.uk. Our movement is growing! 💚

The government came to power promising to end the "moral scar" of foodbank use. Analysis out today shows that plans to slash disability benefits could force 440,000 people into relying on one.

@greenparty.org.uk's @sianberry.bsky.social and @carladenyer.bsky.social are sponsoring an EDM supporting the trans community ✊🏼 Notable that they declare that "there is no such thing as gender ideology, but that term is used to oppose acceptance of trans people" edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

If the NHS had a million regular donors this would help keep stocks healthy and by donating blood you would truly be one in a million - So please Book an appointment or register today - it’s so easy to do ❤️🙏👇 blood.co.uk

Over 1,000 UK lawyers, academics & retired senior judges, including our founder Jo Maugham, say it’s time for the UK to meet its “fundamental international legal obligations by, among other things, ensuring the urgent, unconditional and unimpeded resumption of aid" to Gaza. lawyersletter.uk

Any politician who wants to ban migration for care homes should be forced to wait 9 hours for the toilet. I imagine pandering to anti-immigration groups would then feel as painful and illogical as it does to disabled and older people left without care workers. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too. Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The right to protest is fundamental in a democracy. It's great to see the courts agree. Credit to @libertyhq.bsky.social for getting Suella Braverman's unlawful regulations declared to be against the law. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

The Court of Appeal has this week ruled that anti-protest laws which completely ignored the will of Parliament are UNLAWFUL It has not been mentioned on a single news show this morning. If they won’t cover it let’s do it ourselves

"But my childhood" ...Look, you bought the books, you read the books. Before anything of this happened. You will forever remember the books. Cool. But why do you have to buy the movies? And the Lego sets? And post endlessly about the new TV series? As an adult?

On what is a really difficult day, here are some resources for our trans friends and allies. Solidarity 💜 goodlawproject.org/resource/sup...

Government needs to instead step up and offer safe and legal routes to pull the rug from the illegal people smugglers. As it stands, many of those with legitimate asylum claims have no legitimate way of reaching the UK - this intolerable situation cannot be allowed to continue.

🖤 Black women in the UK are almost 4x more likely to die in childbirth. This isn’t just a stat – it’s a call to action. Nurses & midwives must lead the change by listening, advocating, and acting. #BMHW #BlackMaternalHealth #DiverseNurse #CulturalSafety

Today's Supreme Court Ruling - which will decimate trans lives - is a direct result of a case funded substantially by J K Rowling. This is what we mean when we say support J K Rowling & Harry Potter has tangible harms for trans people.

Trans people have always, and will always exist. Trans rights are human rights. Let's stand together. Solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️✊ 🏳️‍⚧️

Apart from anything else there simply isn't a cast-iron definition of "biological sex" and attempting to make one in the way some of these goons want to effectively amounts to an exhaustive checklist against which any mismatch means you are male, which effectively makes male the human default

HALF A BILLION invested in genocide. 😡 This has to stop and it has to stop now! ✊🇵🇸

Older cis woman here 👋 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans women are women. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans men are men.

The level of injustice is just so extreme They had a hearing about what rights, what freedoms, what future trans people have... without a single trans person being involved, yet multiple with hate groups They decided we don't deserve equality. Then said "no one won"

Since Labour took office, 30,000 more children have been pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap. That’s 109 kids every single day. The Labour whip was taken from me for voting to scrap it. I’d do it again — no child should grow up in poverty to satisfy a spreadsheet.

This is going to blow your mind, but it turns out that this free speech warrior doesn't actually support free speech.

The Israeli military's initial claim that Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants were killed in Gaza last month is being scrutinized. Video evidence and eyewitness accounts suggest the victims were emergency workers in clearly marked vehicles reut.rs/4jqocrD

And still the government is allowing #ArmsSales to Israel? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Israel deporting Politicians because *check notes* they might document their War Crimes.

Insulin should be free.

My MP Abtisam Mohamed with MP Yuan Yang tried to lead a UK parliamentary delegation into the West Bank and they were detained then deported. BBC News - Two MPs 'astounded' after being denied entry to Israel www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice that’s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits

This is not good science. It’s flawed in so many ways. There is a huge body of evidence showing that vaccines do NOT cause neuro developmental disorders.

I really feel like people who completely dismiss the need for psychiatric medication don’t understand the reality of severe & enduring mental illness. Therapy and lifestyle changes help with my bipolar, but nothing has the impact medication does. Psychosis isn’t cured with yoga.

🚨 UPDATE: Confirmation that - the @greenparty.org.uk has NOT left the Stonewall scheme - there has been NO policy change - currently suspended member Shahrar Ali was IRRESPONSIBLE and WRONG to falsely state that the party has "quietly but surely dissaffiliated from Stonewall" #LGBTIQA+
