Tories If you're white Ukrainians we'll bring you into our homes & stop buying oil from your persecutors. If you're from Africa/Middle-East we'll send you to concentration camps in Rwanda while selling bombs to the people who blew up your home. But we're definitely not racist.

If we delay emission cuts we “will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.” Every sentence describing the new #IPCC report is completely life changing. Literally everything is at stake. apnews.com/article/climate-s…

Worrying reports from constituents and @BBCNews of Africans & Asians facing difficulty and discrimination fleeing Russian agression. We must be united in the view that no race or nationality is more worthy of safe passage & asylum than another. We must stand for all in Ukraine.

The British government helped this girl in glasses escape war and brought her to safety. She was my great aunt, caught on camera by @apnews in 1938 as the first kindertransport arrived. Because of what the British government did she was safe for her 12th birthday two days later.

Thousands fleeing their country, many fearing they’re losing their country. #Ukraine . Only 6 months ago we saw this, in very different circumstances, in #Afghanistan . What’s wrong with our world 🌎??

The right to protest is not a gift of government, it’s one of our most precious democratic rights This Govt is trying to remove that right That's why I support peaceful protests against the #PolicingBill @killthebill_1 My column in @MetroUK ⬇️ metro.co.uk/2022/01/12/wa-ca…

"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." Martin Luther King Jr. Remember - slavery, segregation & Holocaust all legal at the time Without protest, no progression #KillTheBill

I'm really worried about the direction this country is going. Our human rights are being stripped, while our leaders are abusing their power & not being held accountable. I'm scared because this is a perfect recipe for radicalisation & people turning to conspiracy theories.
