Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is…
The Daily Express is a right wing British newspaper that spends most of its time bashing immigrants. That it has devoted its front page to the starvation of Gaza is a sign of how dire the situation has become and how impossible it is to ignore.
Great to welcome @willnorman today to discuss our vision for a more liveable Wandsworth Town centre. With support from @TfL, we’ve launched a programme of engagement so you can tell us how we can make the town centre even better. Tell us what you think: …ngwandsworthtowncentre.commonplace.is
20 years ago today, an innocent man was shot six times in the head by the police, because he had brown skin. No one has ever been held accountable for this. 20 years is way to long to wait for accountability and justice. RIEP Jean Charles de Menezes.

I am the writer Omar Hamad, and I want to trade my library for a sack of flour.
By the next General Election, 16 and 17 year olds will have the right to vote - ensuring young peoples' voices are heard. Labour promised it. Labour will deliver it.
🔥 It’s been a sweltering week — a reminder of how real the climate crisis is. I was in Parliament for Ed Miliband’s first annual climate and nature statement, welcoming action on: 🌿 Nature recovery 💼 Green jobs 🌊 Flood protection Change is both possible and essential.
It was blisteringly hot over the weekend but Labour activist were out on the doorstep in East Putney supporting Cllr Finna Ayres. Labour are delivering ✅Lowest Council in the UK ✅Increased investment in roads & pavements ✅Free bulk waste disposal & more mega skips

No forcible transfer of Gaza’s civilians. I am proud to join colleagues standing up against Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz’s horrific plans to force Palestinians into a so called “humanitarian” city. We must stand up for peace and human rights.
Good to listen to local people in Balham this morning. Thanks to all who came out and to St Mary Magdalene Church for hosting. Hot topics included cleaner streets, Lime Bikes & cost of living. Lovely to be joined by Balham councillor Jo Rigby, who puts fear into flytippers!
Truly horrific images of children, toddlers, babies- their bodies torn apart by an Israeli bombing whilst waiting for food supplements. Distraught mothers are hugging lifeless small bodies. ‘We’re appalled’ says @unicefchief
We’re appalled by the reported killing in Gaza today of children and women waiting in line for nutritional supplies provided by UNICEF’s partner organization, Project HOPE. The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

Dismayed by the official sanctions that the US government has decided to impose on the UN Special Rapporteur, @FranceskAlbs We recall that Special Rapporteurs are independent experts. They are not appointed to please governments or to be popular but to deliver their mandate.…
A lovely day to officially open Springfield Park in Tooting with @SadiqKhan and @DrRosena. This beautiful new 32-acre park is the largest in London since the 2012 Olympics. Great to see the cafe, amphitheatre & play areas - and to plant one of the 700 new trees 🌳
