The UK backs the target to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030, but this is almost impossible to achieve unless governments agree to a Global Ocean Treaty. @JamesCleverly don't let the treaty talks fail.
Brianna Ghey was an incredible young woman who spread joy, love and laughter to those around her.
My thoughts are with Brianna's family and the trans community fighting for safety, dignity and liberation.
Shell just recorded £32 billion in profit.
3,000 people in the UK die every year because they can't afford to heat their homes.
There’s nothing pragmatic about letting greed run rampant while the poorest freeze to death.
Energy is a public good. It should be in public hands.
The UK has sold billions of pounds worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, which have been used to kill thousands of Yemeni people.
I asked the Foreign Secretary to stop funding a humanitarian catastrophe.
His dishonest & ignorant response exposes a government uninterested in peace.
URGENT: @RishiSunak and @grantshapps are trying to push through legislation that could see workers fired for striking ❌It's an attack on our rights and civil liberties.
Retweet if you stand with striking workers and against this Bill!✊🏽

You learn a lot when you join a picket line.
I haven't seen a single placard calling for more privatisation of our health service.
Instead, I've been asked to support healthcare workers' demands for an above-inflation pay rise and greater investment in a fully public NHS.
In 1983, I gave my maiden speech in Parliament, condemning austerity & privatisation.
I said it then and I'll say it now: we need a new politics that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

Today, one of my constituents is on trial in Lesvos, simply for trying to rescue refugees drowning at sea. These baseless charges must be dropped immediately.
Saving lives is not a crime. #DropTheCharges

Over Christmas, we have relied on healthcare workers, firefighters and many others to keep us safe.
They deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve a decent pay rise & fair conditions.
With the public on their side, striking workers can unite, build a mass movement and win.
For many, the Christmas period has been a time of joy, connection and comfort. For others, it has been one of exile, loneliness and stress.
In 2023, let's welcome refugees reaching our shores, end homelessness on our streets, and build a society in which we care for one another.
Tomorrow many nurses will be on strike for the first time in their lives
We've been left with no other choice
If you will be supporting striking NHS workers please reply with a 💙

Last night, the government voted against a ban on fracking.
As the Earth stands on the brink of collapse, this is a catastrophic result for our climate.
Behind the melodrama is a government unable — and unwilling — to tackle the most important crisis of our times.
Today, I’ll be voting against the Public Order Bill.
This draconian piece of legislation is an authoritarian attack on our democratic right to protest.
As the government desperately tries to quash dissent, our message is clear: we aren’t going anywhere.
As Liz Truss sacks Kwasi Kwarteng for implementing her own economic policies, millions of people are still waiting for a plan to tackle the cost-of-living emergency.
It doesn't matter how many Chancellors they get through, this Tory government is rotten to its very core.
For Tory MPs, benefit payments are a topic for cabinet boardroom debates.
For those who have been plunged into poverty, it is a matter of life or death.
Raise benefits in line with inflation, now.
Boris Johnson’s last days in Number 10. He and the @Conservatives have wrecked the economy, battered the UK’s relationship with our allies and destroyed trust in politics with flagrant corruption. Johnson deserves to go down in history as the worst Prime Minister of all time.
