Today is #IWD. It’s also the final day of the govt’s consultation on the Human Rights Act. The HRA is the ONLY law which allows victims of rape to challenge police failures to investigate their assailants. So if you only do one thing today to help women, do this - respond.

Next month, MPs get a £2,200 pay rise to £84,144 while the country gets a rise in national insurance, energy bills & council tax. We’re already in the top 5% of earners. When I was elected, I pledged to take home £35k and donate the rest to local causes. That won't be changing.

Black Africans are being treated with racism and contempt in Ukraine & Poland. West cannot ask African nations to stand in solidarity with them if they cannot display basic respect for us even in a time of war. Ignored in a pandemic and left to die in war?!! UNACCEPTABLE.

Not good enough. Not within light years of being good enough. Actually, a disgrace to this country. Who even thought this tweet was appropriate?

Refugees are welcome here. Solidarity and practical action. Di iawn Ireland.👇👏❤ #RefugeesWelcome
I am appalled by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the Ukrainian people and we will play our part in assisting them in their time of need. That’s why I am immediately lifting visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland. This will apply to all Ukrainians.
