- Tom Fletcher's speech at the UN embodied "British" values we can be proud of, which of course are not uniquely British but shared by all who value kindness & mutual care. I grew up in a Britain where such values were often contrasted with the genocidal violence of fascism.
- Left: Starving Jewish children in the Warsaw Ghetto, 1941. Right: Starving Palestinian children in Gaza. This photo is from 2024, more than a year ago. There is no excuse, ever, for starving children to death. Israel is committing #genocide in plain sight.
- No evidence has been seen that a #genocide is occurring in #Gaza or that women & children have been targeted by the IDF, UK government lawyers claim. Do these lawyers & the government ministers that instruct them sleep soundly? They don't deserve to. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
- One of many reasons why the EHRC guidance on"single sex" facilties is completely unworkable and if imposed will lead to endless & completely unnecessary hassle & grief for all sorts of people - and for businesses and institutions that cater to them.
- This is what Tory prime minister Ted Heath said when sacking Enoch Powell from his shadow cabinet in 1968. Starmer's speech today was a dangerous & disgustingly cynical attempt to outflank Farage by demonising migrants. Labour ministers can't sack Starmer but they could & should resign.
- 1/ @elliechowns.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social have shown they have the ability to overturn huge majorities in seats seen as "unwinnable". A real gamechanger for the Greens & I hope to see them lead us to much bigger wins at the next GE. #TogetherWeWin www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

- No, and if I thought Ellie and Adrian were transphobic I would not be backing them.
- 2/ Winning many more "unwinnable" seats is exactly what Greens need to do to be in a potentially pivotal position after the next election. Find out more and join Ellie & Adrian's campaign to lead the Green Party to the next level of success: www.ellie-adrian-2025.org #TogetherWeWin
