Ellie Chowns on #BBCQT, rejecting attempts to blame migrants for country's problems.

Yes, make hope normal again.

Staff are leaving in their droves and aren’t replaced, leaving classrooms overcrowded and pupils without the support they need.

Act Now: Help to make our streets accessible Tell your Councillor about the barriers people with sight loss face

I've taken action and written to my Councillor about the barriers blind and partially sighted people face when making pedestrian journeys, will you?

To assert the UK has taken enough action in the face of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza is frankly outrageous.

We must impose a full arms embargo, halt all military cooperation, ban settlement goods, ramp up sanctions, and ensure an immediate ceasefire & accountability for war crimes.

Waiting for the Green Party leadership announcement. When is that woman going to get off her platform and tell us?

And still, Keir Starmer’s government arms Israel, enables its genocide in Gaza and hasn’t even expelled the Israeli Ambassador.

Shame on him.

An excellent evening, and I think I can even make myself out in the photo!

Fabulous evening with songs old and new. Great to see you back in Reading, @katerusby.bsky.social ❤️
