This is why we continued to protest
Because we knew the Israeli govt promises rang hollow
They took what they wanted & when they thought the social heat was off, they went back to it
Palestinians remain under violent attack & occupation
THIS IS A GENOCIDE

Why do you call Israeli people held illegally in Gaza “hostages”, but call Palestinian people illegally held in Israel (without charge or trial) “detainees”? @c4news.bsky.social

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this?
We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Politicians are so terrified of being accused of anti-semitism.
I wish they felt as terrified about other forms of discrimination.

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.
When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.
They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.
Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)
