I have decided to summon the Russian ambassador because of the cyber attacks against Czech institutions and critical infrastructure. We have called on the Russian Federation to refrain from this behaviour, which is contrary to UN standards and its own obligations.

I, and my teenage child, don’t have even the fleeting thought of concern. A toilet is a toilet. ALL disabled toilets are gender neutral. I will happily use any toilet as long as it’s accessible and hygienic.
Don’t the Government have more pressing issues? theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

I am so proud of my little brother.

Many of the leading Brexiters are also climate science deniers. They now have a dilemma - whether to ascribe rising food prices to climate impacts or admit that #Brexit is pushing them up.

It's both, of course.

I expect they'll blame 'freak weather conditions' & foreigners.

🗳️ Green Party councillors over time...

The party has made 651 gains (+329%) in just 6 years.

Afgelopen vrijdag protesteerden we in de Frequent Flyer Lounge van KLM op Schiphol tegen het Frequent Flyer Programma (FFP). Dat KLM via het FFP de rijkste 1% aanspoort om nog meer te vliegen en beloont met gratis vluchten en andere extra's, is een grof schandaal. Stop FFP!

I remember when I met Kim Jong Un I asked him what he thought about Donald Trump & the MAGA Republicans. He told me he was particularly impressed by their attitude to the truth, which reminded him very much of his father the Dear Leader & grandfather the Great Leader.

You can read the Ukraine solidarity motion proposed to this year's UCU Congress (29-31 May, Bournemouth) and other information about the congress here.

Motion proposed by the UCU branches at Oxford Brookes and Bristol unis.

A year ago the congress of post-16 education union UCU passed a motion of solidarity with Ukraine - but also, by 9 votes, one calling for an end to military aid for Ukraine.

At this year's UCU Congress activists will be seeking to change that stance. 🧵

Such a treat & privilege to be with the amazing Jackie Kay on #StartTheWeek this morning - her new poetry collection #MayDay is so moving, funny & powerful, & great to talk with Dr Adam Rutherford & Simon Heffer about #AnotherEngland & the importance of myths, stories & poetry

Is there any data yet on how many people were turned away at the polls due to lack of ID? Of course, many others may have been deterred from even going along to their polling station for the same reason.

Simon Oldridge Tom Scott 🇺🇦 I’m a Civil engineer have been involved with NPs and know that decommissioning cost are massive. Hinkley in 4 years behind on schedule & commissioning isn’t a given. It’s a no brainier for other eco options & new storage technologies that can be delivered now not in decades.

More than 100 journalists & media workers have been killed in Gaza since October (this image from December). Many deliberately targeted by Israeli forces.

'Truth is the 1st casualty of war' - & that's why Israel is shutting down Al Jazeera.

To kill the truth.

The huge problem around lethal ☢️waste👇alone should stop new nuclear. There’s also:
❌Rising sea levels threaten plants
❌Far too slow (17 years)
❌Hugely expensive
❌Unresponsive: ill-suited to pair with renewables
❌ Studies say renewables are sufficient, without new nuclear

Killing children is wrong.

Delighted that socialist former Labour MP Lynne Jones has joined The Green Party.

A huge welcome to our growing movement.

Brilliant to see so many new people joining: join.greenparty.org.uk

There needs to be much more of this to increase the costs for Moscow of continuing the war, especially in the financial centre that is the UK. For ⁦The Green Party⁩

Labour want you to think there's nowhere else to go for young voters fed up with their u-turns.

These results show that's not true. 1/2 of voters in Bristol Central are under 35, we can win a GND Champion here & we're ready to do it
