Our right to peaceful protest is under attack. The UK just sentenced peaceful climate activists to YEARS in prison – and their laws could get exported to other places. Join our demand to #StopJailingTruthTellers now! https://t.co/TAHAED3XFV

A 10% student tax is unfair https://t.co/DEXaj42hX2 via @YouTube Why are we imposing tax rates only designed for those with much higher incomes onto students earning little more than the minimum wage? It makes no sense, at all.
New @RestIsPolitics LEADING - with all the wars abroad, and crazy stuff at home we have not focused on climate for a while. Here we talk to leading energy economist Prof Dieter Helm. A lot of food for thought https://t.co/LYIOaQfiMS

Less stigma may have boosted numbers saying they are a mental health condition, but this is about more than that. Look at the rise in people aged 18-24 prescribed antidepressants - surging from 440k in 2015-16 to 570k in 2021-22 – a rise of 31%
NEW: those aged 40+ used to be most likely to suffer from mental ill health - but today 1-in-8 people in their late 20s/early 30s do. The economic consequences are large, changing the pattern of who is out of the labour market due to ill health https://t.co/72MHdMZ32c
This is such a powerful video…
So simple
So much sense
The Tories know this too

So, here’s my explanation.
There's been a lot of nonsense spouted about Labour's £28bn green investment plans. And doubtless there'll be lots more nonsense spouted in the coming months.
With that in mind, here's my primer on the plan - and its affordability.
No nonsense. But maybe one or two charts...
With countless lives being shattered, we can’t stay silent. Join @amnestyuk and urge Rishi Sunak to call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties to help put an end to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. https://t.co/fhPw4u1wtN
