I put my baby boy to bed tonight knowing he’s safe. Mothers in Gaza are watching theirs be starved to death. @Keir_Starmer - STOP equivocating! Recognise the State of Palestine now & help to end this atrocity.

The UK must join France, alongside 147 other countries, and recognise the State of Palestine. You can not support a two-state solution without recognising both states. Prime Minister, do the right thing and recognise the State of Palestine, and do it now.
🚨REVEALED: @BhamCityCouncil has spent nearly £8m on agency labour to break the bins strike. Let that sink in: A Labour council has spent £8m of your money to break a strike by its workers who face losing £8,000 a year! 👮♂️ It is unlawful for an employer to use agency/other staff…
Fourth thing to know @theSNP Scottish Government prioritised our NHS, resulting in zero strike hours, better pay for all staff & better performance than r-UK despite squeeze from Westminster #NoTuitionFees in Scotland + #NursingBursary of £10k / yr resulting in lower/zero debt
Three things to know about the doctors strikes 1. Even with the 29% increase, doctors are STILL earning less than they did in real terms in 2008 2. Wes Streeting is paying doctor's assistants, MORE than he is paying doctors 3. My cleaner and most of my friends who have…

Yet more medical testimony of horrific, punitive acts committed in Gaza, particularly on children. Where is the much needed powerful condemnation of Israeli actions from the @UKLabour government? instagram.com/reel/DJbKDW9in…
It's never been more important for Scotland to regain independence. With increasingly right-wing governments controlling us from Westminster, who we never vote for, Scotland needs independence. #ScottishIndependence
🥀 Labour are threat to pensioners and low earners alike. 🙄 It is difficult to see who they are governing for… apart from the bankers of course.
This thread by @AdamRamsay is well worth a read. It articulates really clear justified anger with Labour MPs and the UK gov on their failure to act/respond coherently and humanely to the horrors being dumped in Gaza and the lack of legal space to protest against it.👇
Had my MP @ChrisMurrayMP at the door. I told him I’d just had to ask my publisher if they can redact a line of my book because of his vote to proscribe Palestine Action. He said he “didn’t want to talk about that”.
I will never vote Labour again. Not in my lifetime. I`m Scottish. Very much ex-Labour. Monsters.
I will never vote Labour again. Not in my lifetime. I will never forget the skeletal faces of starving children—cut off from food just beyond a sealed border. A border kept closed by choice. I will never forget the silence bought by political donations—or blind loyalty that bind…

We all have a duty of care to safeguard asylum seekers and refugees and this language and proposed actions will potentially put already vulnerable people at further risk.
This is desperate and despicable language used by far right populists. I am a migrant, proud to be a migrant, you are despicable.

We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.
What disgusting language from a @UKLabour PM, designed to appeal to the basest of instincts. Nasty stuff.

🤥 Despite promising to cut energy bills, Labour is about to hike them AGAIN. 📈 Bills are already up £150 since they came to office - and Scots face some of the highest bills in Europe. 🥀 Energy-rich Scotland is being ripped off by Westminster.
Humza and Nadia’s words highlight a horrifying reality. The deliberate, calculated starvation of the Palestinian people is a despicable breach of international law. It is vital that the UK Government use every lever possible to allow unrestricted aid access into Gaza immediately.
Nadia's cousin Sally, and her four children are being starved by Israel. Millions in Gaza are being deliberately starved while Israel withholds food mere kilometres away. Words are not enough. Governments must act and force Israel to open the borders and allow aid to flow in.
Enough is enough.
The scenes in Gaza are horrifying to watch. Israel is deliberately starving civilians. Children are dying as food and aid are blocked. Nothing can justify it. Enough is enough. The UK government must force Israel to let aid into Gaza, and the killing must stop. Now.
Labour are increasing your energy bills, after promising to cut them - to pay for a nuclear plant in England.
