Big decision from

. People are desperate for change & it’s deeply sad
https://nitter.privacydev.net/UKLabour
isn’t offering it. We need a Govt unafraid to tax super rich, invest in Britain, act on climate & stand up for human rights here & abroad. We need Green MPs more than ever to demand better

Famine in Gaza imminent if Israeli Govt keep restricting humanitarian access yet Ministers not being open about legal advice sought in relation to complicity in breaches of international humanitarian law. I continue to demand answers &amp; am sponsor of new cross-party motion.

Whilst Keir Starmer is right to point out that Rwanda plan is an undeliverable gimmick, where is the moral challenge to Sunak’s cruelty, to his nasty populist cant- why not also speak up for the rights of refugees and attack the principles of the disgusting Rwanda Bill?

"Miliband is expected to say Labour will create conditions for private sector investment in renewable energy, grid upgrades &amp; clean technology." Spot on but Ed knows public sector investment is precondition for private. Here’s hoping he can persuade leadership to reinstate £28bn

Surreal to be walking through voting lobby to support an amendment that simply attempts to ensure Govt legislation is fully compliant with the rule of law. WTF has happened to standards of Tory MPs voting the other way? This shouldn’t even be in question.

EU's foreign policy chief is not mincing his words - he says Israel is provoking famine and using starvation 'as a weapon of war'. Where is the same clarity from UK leaders - why is our Govt still failing to call it out and hold Israeli Govt to account?

Heating homes generates 18% of UK emissions so Ministers should have prioritised action to decarbonise. But today's

report shows the Govt has made shockingly little progress &amp; way behind on its heat pump installation targets. Urgent action is needed to turn this around.

You know it's bad when Conservatives from Rudd to Patel are telling this Govt not to politicise extremism. What we're seeing from Sunak's Govt now is downright dangerous. The issue of extremism is far too serious to be used as an election strategy.

Just dire that Rachel Reeves still refuses to invest in the green economy - public investment crowds in private investment &amp; cuts fuel bills. Instead of locking themselves into arbitrary fiscal rules, Labour should be honest that borrowing to invest is sound economics

The Government's rail reform plans are way off track and passengers are paying the price. Time to bring our railways back into public ownership to address the cost of living and climate crisis with affordable public transport for all.

RT by @CarolineLucas: “The magic money tree is an inherently conservative narrative. It deliberately propagates a false understanding of how the economy works… It seeks to delegitimise public spending, framing policies that improve conditions for ordinary people as unrealistic and wasteful.”

Since then nearly £75bn extracted in dividends. Water bills up by 40% in real terms.
