David Lammy called on David Cameron to release legal advice on whether Israel was breaking international law.

A Foreign Office official has now resigned in protest against arms sales to Israel.

Why won't the Home Secretary now release the legal advice?

[Natalie Bennett @natalieben]

The country cannot take MORE #Austerity.

As @TheGreenParty has long ssaid, we need a #WealthTax - those with the broadest shoulders helping fix #BrokenBritain for everyone

Our collective ability to ignore a threat that is going to trash our civilization & kill billions & billions of us is the most horrifyingly astonishing feat in the history of our species.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Bosses' pay at Britain's 100 biggest firms has hit a new record.

Their average pay is now £4.19 MILLION.

Don't believe the media lies that there's no money for proper pay rises for workers.

There's plenty of wealth in our society. It's just in the wrong hands.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

UK accounts for 80% of the homelessness in developed countries. 50.5 people per 10,000 are homeless.

Low wages, high cost of living, job insecurity, corporate profiteering, high rents, absence of social housing are a political choice.

Political ideologies making people homeless

A hotter #climate means we are seeing higher temperatures and more extremes. How do people survive without air conditioning in this heat? 🌡️🔥

Basrah Int. Airport, Iraq: 48.5°C
Basrah-Hussen: 48.3°C
Nasiriya: 48.3°C
Amarah: 48.2°C
Stay safe and hydrated. 🥤 #HeatWave #Iraq

So wonderful to see the brilliant @YuanfenYang bring all her wit and wisdom with her into Parliament as an MP. The Rethinkers are in the House...

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

We’re being distracted, exploited & will soon be decimated by billionaire psychopaths who own most of our politics & the media.

It needn’t be this way.

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

The #MiddleEast is boiling. The heat index nearly hit 60C in the region. 59°C is 138.2°F. #Iran was forced to cut operating hours at various facilities on Sat & order all government & commercial institutions to close on Sunday. Hospitals received over 200 people for #heatstroke.

[Matthias Schmelzer @MGSchmelzer]

Brazil is proposing a global wealth tax of 2% that would only affect about 100 billionaire families but could raise $250bn to tackle the climate crisis.

Implementing this requires lots of public pressure around the world. https://t.co/QRRZTdDtln

Some parts of Antarctica are 24C ABOVE AVERAGE, in the middle of WINTER!

The planet we actually live on is being made UNINHABITABLE because our ‘leaders’ are owned by billionnaire psychopaths who’ve CHOSEN to kill everything so they can amass imaginary & meaningless wealth.

[Adrian Ramsay MP @AdrianRamsay]

There is money for investment in this country, but it requires taxing wealth fairly.

To deliver the real hope and real change the public is craving, the Government must have the courage to introduce a modest tax on the wealth of the super rich and invest it in the NHS and other crucial services.

Wow! - HEATWAVE in #Antarctica- Temperatures in some parts are currently 24°C above the average - at the height of #winter! The Earth's natural air-conditioners are under threat at both poles. The more they diminish the hotter the #Earth will become.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

BREAKING: mass media stay silent as climate scientists all agree economic growth means Earth's species face the threat of dire 1.75- 2°C of global warming by the 2030s 🧵

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

According to #Copernicus, Sunday 21st July 2024 was the hottest day ever recorded globally in 100,000 years—and yet I still have trolls telling me that because they are having a cloudy summer in the #UK, global warming doesn't exist. It does - and it's accelerating. #climate

[Nathan Slater @NathanTSlater]

PR would have a seismic impact on the landscape of British Politics. You can see why Labour and the Tories oppose it

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn, but not Government Corruption £219bn.

Immigration £2bn, but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn, but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You‘re buying their lies.

[Electoral Reform Society @electoralreform]

Our projection shows a result that is more in line with how we voted at the 2024 general election. Based on our projection, the Labour Party is still the largest party, but more in line with their percentage of the vote. https://t.co/cZtofmlno7

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

The failure of Thames Water is a perfect example of the failure of the project of privatisation.

We need a commitment from Labour to the nationalisation of our water companies urgently.

[Jeff Goodell @jeffgoodell]

Back from long trip and happy to find copy of @DoctorVive's must-read new book in my mailbox (seen here alongside my longtime writing partner and muse)

My blurb: "Guenther knows her subject and is a fabulous bullshit detector. Reading The Language of Climate Politics is an excellent way to arm yourself for the fight for a better future."
