This morning I laid a wreath of red and white poppies at Bristol’s #RemembranceSunday service. Every November, I choose to wear both a red and a white poppy: red to help those who have been affected by war, and white to work for peace.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.
The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯
How embarrassing for the UK.

Protest is fundamental to our democracy - we rightly celebrate people like Nelson Mandela who changed the world through protest
But this govt is clamping down on our protest rights with increasingly authoritarian laws
Thanks @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social for making this point so powerfully

Last week I met @breastcancernow.bsky.social in parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Shocked to learn the NHS does not collect detailed data on people with incurable breast cancer. Without that data how can they assess what treatments and support work best? I'll be writing to Minister about this

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Our SEND system is broken and it's failing children and their families. They deserve better - their voices must be heard by government.
Today I joined the #EveryPairTellsAStory demo in Bristol. Each pair of shoes represents a child who has been failed by the SEND system.

When you spend all your time fighting inequality, and you get a win, it's so important to take a moment to celebrate! 🎊
Delighted to join Housing Select Committee chair Florence Eshalomi (another rent controls supporter), @rentersreformco.bsky.social & friends to celebrate the #RentersRightsAct!

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat
The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes
Govt's plan is delusional

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96
All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.
But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

More and more people are saying it: the Home Office is not fit for purpose and should be broken up, so migration can be dealt with by a department designed to make the system actually work for all of us.

The Carbon Budget Delivery Plan due this week is a huge test for this govt. It's a chance not just to take real action to secure a safe future for our children & grandchildren but crucially to show that climate action will make ordinary people's lives better. Me for @huffpost.com:

This #BlackHistoryMonth I've enjoyed checking out the entries to the #BristolBusBoycott artwork competition - these were on display at City Hall last week and many are on bus stops around Bristol.
There's also an exhibition at Sparks until 8th Nov:

The govt promised it would help all Palestinian students with funded places at British universities get to the UK - but there are students with places at the University of Bristol who the Home Office is refusing to help.
Devastatingly we don't know if they are all still alive.

I joined Step Up Migrant Women calling on govt to #ScrapImmigrationWhitePaper
The White Paper will have a devastating impact on migrant women
Labour promised to make people's lives better but instead is pushing women into insecurity and destitution - shameful

Glad to see govt finally grasping the opportunity presented by the move to clean energy - some good measures here
But we need public investment in supply chain industries to create these jobs
And what about a guarantee for workers currently at risk of being pushed out of work?

Absolutely terrifying - the government is leaving communities utterly exposed to the effects of the climate emergency. We urgently need a plan with binding targets for how this govt will protect us as extreme heat and flooding worsen in the years ahead.

Yesterday, many Palestinians (some children under the age of 18) who had been held without charge & denied their basic rights by the Israeli government were finally released
But thousands more remain in arbitrary detention under appalling conditions and must not be forgotten

The era of oil & gas is over - reserves are running dry and companies are pulling out leaving workers and communities high and dry
Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition

Today along with @sianberry.bsky.social I've published a report on our constituents' appalling experiences of the leasehold system. From extortionate fees to poor treatment at the hands of management companies, residents are being held to ransom in their own homes. Govt must act fast.

Today the BBC reported on asylum seekers relying on home office-funded taxis to get around. But as I heard when I visited Bristol City of Sanctuary, this isn't the reality for many - it's being forced to walk for hours to get to appointments, sometimes with kids, or miss out on essentials.

New data out today proves that rents are out of control and far too many renters are being ripped off by greedy landlords - especially in Bristol. We need rent controls now!

Heat deaths. Let that sink in. This should be a wake-up call.
It's the job of govts across the world to keep their citizens safe. Instead, from continuing oil and gas drilling to dragging their feet on making our homes and workplaces safe from extreme weather, they're failing.
