Love you all but genuinely feel like now is the time to get off this app. Find me on insta and threads via the same handle but I'm done-

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Trump's win should act as a warning to the Labour government:

If we fail to address deep-rooted inequality and the cost of living crisis, we risk leaving a void that can be filled by the far-right.

When people feel ignored, they look for alternatives.

To add to this, stop closing School Library Services!! In the absence of actual Libraries and Librarians in schools, these services are vital in getting books, authors, and support into schools. They are lifelines rn.

This iconic photo is now part of Iranian history, capturing the deep frustration of women with the regime—a powerful statement against repression.

As Equalities Minister, Badenoch attacked trans people and failed to ban conversion therapy.

She's called maternity pay excessive and her campaign leaflets argue that autistic people get “economic privileges”.

Her election shows that the Tories only care about culture wars.

Women disappear from Afghanistan and UN is silent!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Deeply disturbing to learn that F-35 components have been covertly sent to Israel via British airbases & Heathrow, enabling 2000lb bombs to be dropped on Gaza.

Shipments have continued under Labour, therefore actively facilitating genocide & war crimes.

End ALL arms sales NOW.

About time

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Abortion clinics in England and Wales now have 150m-wide safe zones surrounding them.

Under a new law it is a criminal offence to intentionally or recklessly obstruct anyone from accessing abortion services.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Israel has intentionally blocked aid in Gaza, targeted humanitarian workers & has now banned Gaza’s primary aid lifeline, UNRWA.

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war.

Words aren’t enough. We need sanctions, a full arms embargo & for the Israeli Ambassador to be expelled.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel wants to ban UNRWA precisely BECAUSE the agency is critical to Gaza aid supply.

Everyone knows Israel is intentionally starving Palestinians, including the Biden administration, which is complicit in this heinous crime against humanity.

Nothing to see here…

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

A statement from The UN…

Read it

Think about when you’ve read this kind of thing before

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

It was a genocide then

And it’s a genocide now.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The ICJ ruling highlighted “plausible” risk of genocide in Gaza from Israel's actions.

In the Commons today, the Foreign Secretary shamefully claimed using the term "genocide" to describe the deaths of over 100,000 Palestinians undermines its seriousness.

History will remember.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Abolishing the £2 bus fare cap is a political choice disproportionately hitting the poor.

With rising costs & stagnant wages, it’s a step backwards - especially when more accessible transport is needed.

The government must reverse this & introduce wealth taxes to fund services.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.
