For years, both Conservative and Labour governments ripped into the regulations designed to protect human life, workers, consumers and the living world, favouring corporate interests over the public interest. The Grenfell Tower disaster is one of the results. 🧵

Surprise surprise, a war criminal is pairing far right racist talking points. Get lost.

I feel sangry about this too. #Hackney Libraries already cut council staff in the last year, and now I fear further cuts could be on the cards. 💔📚

For the first month of our year long sexual and reproductive health campaign, we will be focusing on young people heading back to college & university after the summer. Our condom distribution team will be on hand at freshers fairs in and around the borough. #StaySexuallyHealthy

We voted him out of office, but is there any way of voting him off the telly?

2 years ago, Chris Kaba was killed by officer Martyn Blake in Streatham. Blake, now charged with murder, goes on trial Oct 2. We stand with Chris's family as they fight for accountability. The impunity that allows Black lives to be taken without consequence must end.

Blair has always been racist, in word and in policy. His liberal cheerleaders never acknowledge this.

It is vital that the budget the government presents in a few weeks includes a wealth tax on the very wealthiest in society to improve funding to the NHS. I challenged the Minister to increase resources for our overstretched health service.

But cronies, party apparatchiks and political donors, all unelected, will remain. Pathetic. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

5 peaceful climate protesters are facing an excessive sentence under the undemocratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. I’m calling on Labour to repeal the Conservatives’ repressive anti-protest laws which undermine our obligations under international law.

People are telling this guy that 95% of people will never pay inheritance tax because they don't have enough wealth, and his response is to go 'have some ambition man'. People who imagine themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires have no class consciousness.

In January Cameron was directly asked if he'd received any advice, at any point, from any govt lawyer, that Israel is in breach of international humanitarian law. He said he couldn't remember.

I was pleased to back the Great British Energy Bill today. For it to have a game-changing impact we need more ambition - including on moving away from fossil fuels, supporting community renewables and restoring nature.

Macron won the support of the French far right to make Barnier - who openly supports ending all immigration - prime minister. That was in order to block the left, who came top in the election. It’s so called “centrists” who will pave the way for fascism. You have been warned!

If we’re serious about a public health, people-first & harm reduction approach, then police cannot remain default first responder to health calls late at night. Proud to pass a resolution today calling on the Mayor to support Hackney’s Night Medics’ programme across the city!
