“I want your voice to be heard!”

Fantastic to have @CllrLolaOyewusi speak to us this evening about her campaign to be the next Kent Police and Crime Commissioner.

We urge all local members to get involved and support her campaign! ✊

Public spending cuts have closed almost 800 libraries in the past decade – a fifth of the UK's total. It is a campaign of vandalism against our culture and communities led by the Tory government. https://t.co/D6sMogmBr1

[Sevenoaks CLP @SevenoaksCLP]

Sevenoaks CLP tonight passed the below motion, calling on the General Secretary to rescind his recent guidance (date 26 November), limiting the ability of CLPs to discuss political issues.

CLPs should be allowed to engage in free debate and discussion.

[Sevenoaks CLP @SevenoaksCLP]

Last night, Laura Trott voted for measures that put Sevenoaks into Tier 3. These measures come into place despite derisory and pathetic support for individuals and local businesses.

We urge all residents to write to Laura Trott and demand that she stand up for local people.

Spot on from @graceblakeley 💯

We must resist Tory austerity and fight for a state-led mobilisation of our economy that will allow us to rapidly decarbonise and transform our economy to work for the needs of the many. ✊

[Vince Maple #ProudToBeMedway @vincemaple]

Medway is currently highest rate of CoVid19 cases in the country

We must all play our part in reducing the number

Wear a mask
Wash hands
Social distance

We won’t reduce the number simply by blaming our neighbours - we all have a responsibility & we will get through this. 1/3

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

I've joined over 60 MPs and peers calling for the cancellation of the deportation flight to Jamaica scheduled for Wednesday.

This flight would separate 31 children from their fathers and put individuals at risk of violence and abuse.

[Tunbridge Wells Labour Party @twlabour]

Recently we saw a coup attempt at Tunbridge Wells Conservatives, and now we see a Cllr briefing opposite messaging to that of @GregClarkMP, on national news. This bickering, confused Tory Council is not fit for purpose. We deserve better than this.

@Greenpeace And this. Every year, Amazon destroys about three million unused products in France alone. Unsold goods that have spent too much time in the distribution centres are thrown away. #BoycottAmazon #MakeAmazonPay

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

Black Friday? Everything you want is just a click away... or not? Remember: saving the planet is the best deal!

It is time to:
1.Reduce
2.Reuse
3.Reinvent your consumption

[Environmentum @environmentum]

@LabGND @amazon And this. Amazon is reportedly monitoring climate change groups including @GretaThunberg @Fridays4future @ExtinctionR and @Greenpeace as potential threats"

[Worker-Climate Project @WorkerClimate]

It's disgusting that @amazon have seen their profits soar during the pandemic📈

They treat their workers appallingly, produce a larger carbon footprint than 2/3 countries and pay a fraction of the taxes they owe

This Black Friday, let's #MakeAmazonPay✊

The largest 1% of farms operate more than 70% of the world's farmland.

Worsening land inequality widens gender gap. https://t.co/DNTLUdWkrN

Britain’s reaction?

✂️Cut our budget to help alleviate this gross global disparity. Sickening.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

It just makes sense.

#SickPayForAll

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

My generation is fed up with the status quo.

Rents are too high, work is insecure & the threat of climate crisis looms. We get into politics to change things, not to watch from the sidelines.

Young members must be able to freely organise. They shouldn't be treated like this.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

This is outrageous. Why should the lowest paid workers, many already living in poverty, struggling to put food on the table, pay the price @RishiSunak?

#NuclearPower The looming catastrophe

“The nuclear legacy stretches into the far future; it poses a risk to environments and human health for periods which extend well beyond our comprehension. #RadioactiveWaste is the achilles heel of the industry.”

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

In a debate in Parliament on Yemen & the Tory Minister says the Government is "doing everything we are able to do to help" Yemen.

The Saudi-led war has caused the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Britain has licensed arms worth £5.3bn to the Saudis.

Stop the arms sales. Now.
