We’ve worked hard for many years to have strong, credible leaders like @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social in Parliament, asking big questions at the biggest table.
Leaders who know exactly what it takes to win MPs and councillors in the toughest seats.

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law?
Or just say “we did all we could.”

Brilliant to stand alongside Chris Packham, Sir David King, and over 150 scientists at today’s Science to Politics event, gathering outside Parliament to bring their expertise to govt and demand action on the climate emergency. It’s clear: if we’re to protect our planet, we must listen to science.

This is 100% correct.
It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for
