We sat down with Scarlett 🌎 to discuss her bill on climate education which would require basic knowledge of climate issues to be taught in the national curriculum.📝 globalcitizen.org/en/content/cli…

Israel's bombardment of Gaza has killed 3,400+ children in just 3 weeks. A "humanitarian pause" might allow aid in, but what happens after that? The bombs start again and more Palestinians are slaughtered? We need a ceasefire, not a license for more bombing.

While Braverman & Co try convincing us that those supporting Palestinians are all spreading hate they have been inspiring prejudice themselves. These messages have been found in my local neighbourhood over the last couple of days. One in a school & the others on the central line.

Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today. Attacks on the hospital must end, and aid must be allowed to reach it. #CeasefireNOW

David Cameron isn’t a “safe pair of hands”. He’s the man who: - Introduced austerity which led to 330,000 excess deaths - Led the disastrous bombing of Libya - Called the EU referendum and lost it - Used his connections to lobby for Greensill Rishi Sunak is scraping the barrel.

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ("taking back control from unelected officials anyone?") in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.

I voted to call for a ceasefire. Bombing hospitals and refugee camps is not self-defence. Neither is depriving two million people of food, water and fuel. We must demand an immediate end to hostilities, unconditional release of all hostages and the lifting of the siege of Gaza.

When you hear the numbers of Palestinians slaughtered in Gaza, when you read the statistics, remember: There is a name. There were hopes and dreams. Tonight I voted for a ceasefire to help bring an end to this carnage. I am devastated that not enough other MPs did the same.

This year is almost certain to be the hottest in recorded history. It’s never been more urgent to make COP a success. Meanwhile #COP28 is led by Sultan al Jaber, an oil baron whose company has the biggest net-zero-busting expansion plans in the world. You couldn't make it up.

Floods, like those in Nottinghamshire, are becoming increasingly likely as a result of global warming. This is a reminder that climate policies are non-negotiable. Climate chaos won’t wait until it’s politically convenient to address it. The time for a Green New Deal is now.

My utter respect to Fern's Family and Friends who are fighting for justice for Fern and for others like her. Throughout, they have shown such dignity showing compassion and empathy even for staff who have grossly let their family down. Fern was amazing -and we can see why 💔🕯️

This happened in what was meant to be a ‘safe zone’. We can not keep looking on whilst innocent civilians - the majority of which are *children* - are murdered in their tens of thousands. We need a ceasefire now!

Today marks 7 years since the Grenfell Tower disaster. We remember the 72 working class people killed by corporate greed and institutional neglect. We recognise the bravery of the firefighters who attended the fire. And we demand justice for the families who lost loved ones.

Don’t listen to anyone who says we need to choose between decarbonising and bringing down bills. Ed Miliband is right: renewables are the not only the cleanest but also the cheapest form of energy we can access. Investing in clean energy is a no-brainer.
