Croydon TUC has been represented at all the central London #Palestine marches. Today was no exception. We will keep marching until there is a full #Ceasefire and justice. #EndTheGenocide

I’m not a Royalist but I’m impressed by Kate’s words in her video today. Let’s hope she makes a full recovery and that she’s given the time and space to do that. I’m also thinking of all others who are battling cancer at the moment.

What an utter shambles. Who knows what will happen on the votes for a ceasefire, or even if we get them.

But if you want to know if your MP backs a #CeasefireNOW you can check if they are among the 104 who signed Richard Burgon MP's EDM ...
