Today we were attacked by settlers in the village of Jannatah in the West Bank. While we were helping local Palestinians prepare for the olive harvest, about 20 settlers ran down from two outposts, Kochav Yehuda and Itam, and assaulted us with clubs, pepper spray, and stones.

Loved visiting GoodWork in Camden. Brilliant to listen to amazing young people speak about obstacles they've been facing finding jobs and how much skills and confidence they've gained from being on the programme. Excited to see what they do next!

Insightful from @jdportes.bsky.social 👇 While I'm very excited about Labour's post-conference policy direction overall, I've found that immigration is a hard line for me - I couldn't vote for a party which has such evident disdain for non-white immigrants

Met with Camden Leaseholders Forum this morning to hear about leasehold issues in Holborn and St Pancras. I was disappointed to hear they had been promised a dedicated councillor for leaseholders but this was reneged on by Camden Council. As MP I'll hold the council to account.

The total and expanding devastation in Gaza is a result of Zionism—the racist colonial movement that led to the establishment of Israel, an apartheid state built on land stolen from massacred and forcibly exiled Palestinians.

The destruction of Gaza is the destruction of the whole world. The Israeli government, with the eager assistance of the United States, is laying the groundwork for for how we respond to genocide and atrocities in the 21st century.

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.
HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

This is what Business Friendly Socialism looks like in reality. The new publicly owned GB Grid a façade for Market ownership that Government Follows. But the markets will only lead if government pays them big profits to do so. So why don't we own it ourselves kick profit & rent seeking out?
