Massive turnout at the Sompting Road roundabout in Worthing yesterday. They are right "kids lives matter". All children should have the right to walk, wheel or cycle to school safely. Maybe a "Dutch" roundabout like the one in Chichester is the answer.

An image featuring a white text box overlaid on a photo of an urban street scene. The text box displays a social media post from "Together Alliance (@UKTogetherAll)" which reads: "28 March will be a turning point in history. But to make that happen, we need to show up in big numbers. We have to show that the majority rejects far-right values. Join us: 28 March, Park Lane, 12pm."

The background shows a concrete wall under a bridge or overpass, covered in graffiti and a row of black and white posters that mirror the message in the text box. The posters say "AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT" and include the date, time, and location: "28 MARCH 12PM PARK LANE, LONDON." A traffic cone is visible in the lower-left corner.

As a @worthinggreens.bsky.social councillor I’m proud to have stood up for the right to have local elections in May. Shame the Labour administration didn’t. Elections are not a pragmatic ‘nice to have’, to be sacrificed if government sets an agenda underfunded councils might not have capacity for.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor spoke about building the economy “brick by brick” but left out the very foundation that underpins it all: nature. The same Government that promised to restore our natural world appears instead to have wiped it from their agenda.

I am calling for Parliament to be recalled immediately in light of the Israeli security cabinet's decision. We must hold the UK govt to account and secure urgent action to alleviate suffering in Gaza.
Dear Prime Minister, 

I am writing to urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to request that the Speaker recalls Parliament from the summer recess immediately to permit an urgent debate on the UK government’s response to the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to prepare to take control of Gaza City, and the broader plan recently passed by the Israeli cabinet. 

This is not a routine foreign policy disagreement. The reported security cabinet decision, together with the stated principles to “prepare to take control of Gaza City” and to impose long-term security control and demilitarisation, signals a major escalation that risks further catastrophic civilian harm across Gaza. Such a plan is yet another declaration of intent from Netanyahu’s government to commit breaches of international humanitarian law. The government must treat this with the urgency and seriousness that the possible breach of treaty obligations demands. 

Under the 1948 Genocide Convention the UK has a clear and binding duty to both prevent and punish genocide. Where there are credible grounds to believe that actions or policies by a foreign government risk causing genocidal acts or facilitating conditions for genocide, the UK must urgently assess its legal obligations and consider immediate measures to prevent further harm. Introduce targeted sanctions on all members of the Israeli cabinet directly responsible for approving plans that foresee a prolonged occupation or other measures risking large-scale civilian harm in Gaza. 

Use the UK’s diplomatic weight with allies to press for an immediate ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, the safe release of hostages, and an urgent international inquiry into allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. 

The risk that the UK could be failing to meet its obligations under the Genocide Convention is an issue that demands parliamentary accountability and public scrutiny. The consequences of delay will be measured in countless innocent lives lost. 

For these reasons I request both that you write to the Speaker today asking him to recall Parliament, and that your office publish the steps you intend to take in response to this grave development. 

I am, of course, available to meet to discuss this further. 

Yours sincerely, 

Ellie Chowns MP
