We have reached a ‘Pass the Salt’ moment. Last week the world was outraged by the plans to destroy Gaza and therefore ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. This week the operation starts and the reaction is ‘Pass the Salt’ ……..

The government have appointed insolvency advisors as Thames Water edges nearer to collapse.
Customers have been rinsed by privatised water companies for decades, while CEOs and shareholders filled their pockets.
Now is the time to take back control of our water.

Anas al-Sharif, the Al Jazeera journalist accused by the IDF of working for Hamas, was previously part of a Reuters group which won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage. I haven’t seen any accusations against the other reporters and cameramen who were killed with him.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
As tensions rise across the world we must learn the lessons of the past and recommit to a world without nuclear weapons.

Zack Polanski’s ‘eco-populism’ could put voters off Greens, opponents say
Exclusive: Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns say party could slide into irrelevance if it chooses new leader with ‘polarising’ approach
This last minute critique of our campaign is right about one thing: the choice is clear.
Timid incremental change or bold leadership that both builds a movement and wins on the ground.
Members: it’s your call.

Stamer's government keeps calling the situation in Gaza ‘intolerable’ and yet continue to tolerate it.
Recognising the state of Palestine is a bare minimum that governments across the world can do to help bring an end to the genocide.

The Israeli government are using food as a weapon.
According to the UN, 2.1 million Palestinians are being starved, including 1 million children.
Where is the action from our government to stop these war crimes?

The Home Secretary calls the Israeli govt’s actions in Gaza ‘intolerable.’ But he is tolerating it. I asked when he will take real action: a full arms embargo, widespread sanctions, a ban on the import of settlement goods, and funding for evidence collection for prosecutions.

- Arms embargo
- Ceasefire
- Sanctions
- Access to water, food and aid
- Netanyahu in the Hague
Along with other countries, the UK promised "concrete actions" in response to the Netanyahu government back in May.
And still all we have is words from David Lammy.
Words are not enough. We need strong action.
