I am pleased to be able to offer my support to this important campaign.
Labour is committed to tackling air pollution.
I have been a proud supporter of the NOcado campaign as Islington Labour has been.
Children at Yerbury Primary School have a right to breathe clean air and if I am elected as your Labour MP, I will do all I can to continue to support that.
3 times Islington Council said NO.
The High Court said NO.
The Court of Appeals said NO.
Ocado now are appealing to the Planning Inspectorate!
Help us to say #NOcado.
Please watch and share 🙏

3,000 HAVE NOW SIGNED the petition calling on @LabourLordsUK to back the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones to stop Sunak’s Government restricting our right to protest via an outrageous & unprecedented abuse of power!
Plz keep sharing & signing!

Dumping pollution or the term Americans use environmental racism isn’t new.(1970s) Where are most incinerators? Car depots? Landfills? Can you imagine Ocado lobbying whoever to put a depot near a private school? “Of course we don’t all breathe the same air”. Follow Robert Bullard
There’ll never be a reason good enough why a depot shld be next to a school. Everyone understands the importance of the economy BUT not at the expense of children’s lives & long term health. There are no safe levels & children are the most vulnerable due to their developing lungs
@SamanthaHorley@KateM45 Amazing charity @theTOYprojectuk may be able to help. They provide toys for children who need them and their shop in Archway, London have lots of donated toys, often things like this. Call and they can check if they have one, https://t.co/e8S9anBc3Y
1000s of words have been said in reply to Lineker. It interests me that hardly anyone has looked closely at what terms and phrases were being used in Germany in the 1930s to see if they match (or not) what's said today by Ms Braverman. I offered a list, meant only as a starter.
#jeremyvine Fantastic modern male role model Jordan Stephens (ex of Rizzle Kicks -yes really!) Saw him speak at the Women of the World festival last week - absolute breath of fresh air. Young, amazing communicator and so open. Great example of masculinity. https://t.co/sBn3EKK1v0
@EllaRobertaFdn It was a pleasure spending an impromptu evening with you on Sun @WOWisGlobal. Thanks for the great company! 🙏 After our chat, this partial proverb from @HafsatKIND's moving Climate Crisis talk has stuck with me: "When you want to go far, you go together".
People fleeing for their lives from war & persecution should be treated as we would hope to be treated, if we were them. Please watch & share this film if you agree.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.
It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay
@SteB777 ....and manifold interrelated parts of the financial system. House of cards could bring down vast chunks of society and billions could suffer. Think 2008 on steroids. 👈Worst case obvs. Must be a better way for managed decline but long termist politicians are not popular. 2/2
@SteB777 Sounds plausible. Suspect the reason there's no real change is because it's not just protecting the status of a wealthy few. Every penny of it is bound up in an intractable global financial system. If that fell apart, so do pension funds, all sorts of investment classes.... 1/
If you think every single MP should be pushing the government into action to save lives in the NHS, RT this please.
I will follow back everyone who RTs this. Time for us to get connected 💙
I was surprised that health isn't front & centre of our #ClimateAction.
There's a sweet spot where action on climate, #airpollution, #biodiversity and #health all come together. There's a big need for high level thinking to ensure the best solutions.

There are 470 little children in north London who desperately need this law.
But generations to come will also benefit.
❌No to @Ocado depot next to our school
✅Yes to clean air and safe schools everywhere
