It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Under this Administration, ICE has created chaos in communities across the country and used deadly force against Americans. That's unacceptable.
Ruben Gallego and I have a bill to set clear standards for the use of force and make sure ICE is accountable to the people they serve.

The Congo Basin & Amazon aren't just "lungs of the earth." They're active climate systems, centuries-old pharmacies, & home to millions. Once felled & burned, they can't be replaced in our lifetime. Why destroy what we cannot recreate? #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions

To the cowardly draft-dodging lump of excrement, who describes his own brave war dead as 'suckers and losers': UK personnel killed in Afghanistan fighting alongside our US allies number 454,with 2000 + wounded, many severely. In Iraq, 179 killed, 3598 wounded. Josh Leakey's VC citation says it all.

Hurrah for the Blackshirts! - today's Daily Mail echoes its 1934 pro-Nazi stance. Is this assault on Britain's democracy treasonable?

Centuries-old trees aren't just wood—they're massive carbon sinks, storing CO₂ that would otherwise fuel climate change. A single ancient tree can hold tons of carbon for hundreds of years. Yet we're burning them for short-term profit. This isn't development. 🌳🔥 #Deforestation
