If we've learned nothing from Hatfield Rail Crash, safety has to come first. Getting a respected #rail engineer like Gareth Dennis sacked for raising safety concerns shows Lord Peter Hendy isn't suitable for government. Especially for someone responsible for our #railway.

8th week now. Children still in poverty. An entirely unnecessary and cruel political choice. Labour should be reminded every single day until they #scrapthecap.

Two years ago this month I had the huge honour of being elected Deputy Leader of The Green Party. I'm so proud of the leadership team, our membership & everything we've achieved together. Here's some highlights to mark the moment! 1/ 🧵

#GoodNews - no, more than that, great news, for teachers, pupils, education and communities. Demonstration that #CampaigningWorks. Now to abolish Ofsted, which is a longtime policy of The Green Party theguardian.com/education/arti…

The horror 7 years ago still lives with so many of us, and those directly affected will be finding today so hard. Everything failed them, especially a failure to listen and empower residents, and to live up to any public service ethos. I hope now justice for Grenfell is coming.💚
