These riots started in Parliament.

Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum.

It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

Trade talks should only come *AFTER* the gov has made good on its promise to deliver a trade strategy. @TradeJusticeMov has been calling for years for a public statement of how UK trade will support higher social and environmental standards around the world. (1/2)

New @marmotihe analysis confirms since 2010 central government spending cuts to local authorities were highest in areas with lower life expectancy and more health inequalities, further harming health in these places @MichaeMarmot @UCL https://t.co/zky5j08mj9
