The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.

This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

Wow! Congratulations to Andrea Egan, the new General Secretary of UNISON.

As a UNISON member, it was my pleasure to support Andrea. She will be a voice for all members, and will fight for the fairer society they deserve.

See you on the picket line.

NHS staff work under enormous pressure to do the impossible.

They are striking to protect their profession and their patients — and I was proud to join them on the picket line outside St. Thomas’ Hospital this morning.

Solidarity!

Young people are risking their lives for Palestine.
Qesser Zuhrah is on day 46 of hunger strike, is very sick and literally dying.
HMP Bronzefield is currently denying her an ambulance.

Call them 0178442560 and demand an ambulance for Qesser.
If you are near the prison, join the people outside it.

It's a weird feeling knowing that you are flying towards possible danger and that you have made a conscious decision to do so, in the hope that somehow it makes a difference. What next steps I will…

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Today, I was in Syracuse to deliver over $100,000 of baby formula to the FoodBank of Central New York.

The formula was secured from Marine Park Distribution for price gouging during the 2022 national shortage.

We'll keep going after any company that tries to take advantage of families in need.

I think often of the time a bunch of murder victims’ families showed Trump treasured photos of their loved ones and he signed them
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

I mean, we were all subjected to racist abuse back then. It wasn't playground banter. It was vile, hurtful, degrading, insulting, and humiliating. We weren't making it up. It had a lasting impact. Own it. Learn from it. Apologise
