The previous minimum income requirement of £18,600 was already tearing families apart, and leaving children without a parent.
Hiking it to £38,700 will destroy more families. No-one should be denied the ability to marry, or be with their children, based on what they earn.

This is a great thread on Cleverly’s new Rwanda treaty and the govt’s legislative plans.  The whole thing seems as unworkable as it is grotesque. An utter embarrassment for the UK on so many fronts.

'We lead the world on net zero', he said.

'We're on track to meet all our targets', he said.

'We’re so far ahead of every other country', he said.

Tell the truth, PM. We're off track to meet our climate targets by a wide margin. This is your failure.

Fossil fuel giants ask why can't we rely on carbon capture & storage to tackle ? And continue with pollution-pumping business as usual? Well, fossil fuel giants, here's just one more reason why: relying heavily on CCS will cost global economy *$1 trillion* more👇

Russian & Chinese hackers involved at nuclear site is just one aspect of this scandalous story. The other is nuclear power's astronomical costs. Why is Govt greenlighting new nuclear, when decommissioning costs are an estimated *£263 billion*?

Banning bonuses for sewage-dumping water firm bosses is a start, but only a start. Water privatisation has utterly failed & the whole system needs an overhaul - water should be back in public hands. Labour motion today doesn't go anywhere near far enough.

Scribbling a Treaty on the back of an envelope won't paper over the fact that use of ‘externalisation’ policies to outsource our human rights obligations embodied by ugly deal undermines post-WW2 international protection regime. The deal is failing because it's shameful.

Shocking. Raw sewage at Windermere & in rivers yet water company bosses still get bonus because whistleblowers say Environment Agency systematically covers up severity of sewage spills. We urgently need criminal investigation & water back in public hands bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

How can Labour say it will put 'huge constraints' on spending - just when public services need mending, needs tackling & NHS needs funding - while also refusing to even consider wealth taxes which could raise tens of billions? I despair.

Margaret Thatcher did not release entrepreneurialism in the UK, Keir Starmer. She released monopolistic exploitation and rentierism. As someone who knows the true meaning of being an entrepreneur, I can tell you that neither is in any way similar to enrepreneurialism.…

Starmer says he'll make UK a 'climate leader' again under Labour. Is this the same Starmer who's refused to revoke oil field licence if elected? And whose £28bn climate plan is vanishing by the day? You can't just say you'll be a climate leader. You have to act like it.

So very sorry to hear of the death of Glenys Kinnock. She was so kind when I was elected to the European Parliament, warm, irreverent & funny and 100% committed to international development & global justice - my love & thoughts are with her family RIP theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…

So much damage was done to this country by the divisiveness and inequality caused by Thatcherism

Deeply depressing to see The Labour Party chasing after this awful legacy

Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels

Except the consensus of the world’s climate scientists, obviously 😡

Heavy use of climate denialist talking points like ‘taking us back into caves’ adds to worries theguardian.com/environment/20…

Some excellent photos from the AIDS Memory UK vigil earlier tonight by Alice Cotterill. It was an honour and a privilege to be there.
