It is absolutely the role of local councils to be doing what they can to tackle climate change, support green initiatives and to promote equality and diversity in our communities. It's a complete dereliction of duty to our residents, now and in the future to suggest otherwise.

There is an alternative to ever more cuts. A wealth tax of just 2% on those with assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION! Let's tax extreme wealth, not punish the poorest.

I believe the proposed cuts to disability welfare are wrong. They'll push thousands of the most vulnerable further into the margins & into poverty. The Government needs to look at things differently. The promised change needs to be more than a red hand holding the scissors instead of a blue one.

Disgusted by the Met police. Today they arrested Chris Nineham lead steward dragging him to the ground. I’ve seen him lead hundreds of stewards, ensuring peaceful and safe protests for 15 months. Anyone with sense can see this blatant attempt to manufacture a clash between protestors and police.

I just voted for the Renters Rights Bill to ban no-fault evictions & hold landlords to account — vital steps toward recognising housing as a right. To truly solve the housing crisis, we need rent controls & a new generation of council housing for secure affordable homes for all.

So far, the growth of for-profit social landlords has done very little to make up low levels of social housebuilding, while allowing stock market firms & asset managers to access public funding for social housing. Public funding for public housing is the best route forward. 🧵

The last image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — detained by Israel for refusing to abandon patients — defines 2024. It’s a testament to Palestinian resilience & a damning indictment of those enabling genocide, including the UK government. In 2025, the fight for justice continues.
