My constituent is one of six political prisoners on hunger strike, demanding the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action.
I have written to David Lammy to demand urgent action.
The government knows the truth: the weight of history is against them.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.
Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.
This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Well that saves you the trouble to read those 76 pages of the Post-16 Education White Paper: the state of #UKHE & government's failure to take responsibility cannot be summarised more accurately.

As Minsky (almost) said, anyone can create Boro Bucks, the problem is getting them accepted
Tomorrow in Middlesbrough @wherecreditsdue.bsky.social will issue the first ever “Boro Bucks,” then redeem them via a tax that expresses intersectional solidarity!

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Keep our focus on you, Lord,
that we may place our trust
in your faithful love,
rather than in things that are
passing and temporal,
however solid and secure
they may seem to us.
Guide us to those things
which help us to encounter,
reveal, and embrace
your kingdom.
