When I vote today I'll be thinking of my lovely grandad. While the Tories partied, his children and grandchildren attended his funeral on zoom #GE24#VoteTheToriesOut
We went undercover and arranged a series of payments to each of the six major UK parties to test how easy it is for a foreign donor to make illegal political contributions
Labour was the only party to correctly identify and block the money

Joined @ThangamDebb on the streets of Bristol Central today. The latest stop on my road trip campaigning for a green government. Labour has a green manifesto and can make it happen. They can be the green government so many of us want, and our country badly needs.

With the Euros kicking off tonight, help raise awareness about domestic violence and abuse. We know that domestic abuse incidents rise by 26% if England play and by 38% if England lose.
During international football competitions reports of domestic abuse increase.
Reshare this video and join South Gloucestershire and Bristol United against domestic abuse.

The Green Party says it will raise £50bn in tax from the "richest". But their proposal will probably end up affecting half of all households. Some of the very wealthiest will pay no additional tax at all, but people on fairly ordinary incomes face marginal tax rates of 70%.

Dear @RishiSunak - whether you continue to engage with Greenpeace or not, burying your head in the sand will not make the climate crisis go away. theguardian.com/environment/…
The politicians who removed legal aid from parents of terminally ill children, bereaved families and people accused of serious criminal offences are very much in favour of taxpayer-funded legal representation for themselves, ta very much.

A man who became like a second father to me over the years that I was his lawyer in Guantánamo Bay was just returned home. Never charged with a crime, Saifullah Paracha waded thru years of hearings—before federal judges and military reps—and he cleared every single benchmark 1/7
Here is our client Saifullah Paracha, formerly the oldest prisoner in Guantanamo Bay at 74yo, having a cup of tea in McDonalds in Karachi this morning. A belatedly happy day (he should never have been kidnapped & locked up 18 yrs ago)... @3DC_org @mahermark123 @dontspyonmeNYPD
