So @TheGreenParty now have 4 seats - as many as the revolting Reform party are forecast to get. So why in god’s name is @BBCNews rabbiting on about Reform still and not talking about extraordinary Green performance??

Now I ask you seriously. Victoria Derbyshire to replace Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC? RT if you agree.

Now is the opportunity for Labour in government to launch a new ceasefire initiative bringing other countries together to demand a halt to the Israelis killing more innocent children in Gaza and ending the arms sales that provide the weapons for these war crimes. 1/2

It also means Labour in government can follow the example of others in enabling seriously injured Palestinian children to be brought to UK for treatment just as we did for injured Ukrainian children. 2/2

Can we all make sure the fact that the Greens did EXACTLY as well as Reform with a *fraction* of Reform’s money and airtime does not go unnoticed, even if the news media furiously ignores it?

My community desperately needs a change of government. We need a government that will work with us not against us. A Labour Government.

Good news for @JacobReesMogg7. @UKLabour and @LibDems are fiercely contesting his #NESH seat, will likely split the vote as they did last time and wave him back in. The most underhand tactic so far is @LibDems @DineRomero4NESH distributing leaflets claiming @UKLabour @votedannorris have “given up in North East Somerset and Hanham” because the constituency is on the official list of places Labour say they can’t win. In fact, it became one of their 250 winnable Battleground Seats when @votedannorris was selected. And all the tactical voting sites I’ve seen say he is the candidate to vote for. Lies and lack of cooperation is what loses elections. Unless opposition parties get their act together, @JacobReesMogg7 and others will be laughing their way back into Parliament. Don’t say I didn’t warn you again. Please RT labourlist.org/2024/06/labou…

Ofcom has said that GB News can still use politicians like Jacob Rees-Mogg as presenters because there is no clear consensus from the Public that we don't want them. Smash the RT and the Like and show them a consensus, get them off our TVs.

This week at food banks, I met Sainsbury's and Tesco workers. Last yr Sainsbury's CEO pay £4.95m. Tesco CEO, £4.5m. Nearly 200 times the pay of many of their shop workers. Workers relying on food banks and Universal Credit, funded by taxpayers. Shame on both companies.

There are defining moments in your life as a Member of Parliament & today’s vote on a ceasefire in Gaza is one of them. I will be voting to support a ceasefire. Decisions like this live with you for the rest of your life. It’s always best to follow your own conscience.

As a Labour Party member I want the Labour leader to make clear to Israel the right to defend does not confer a right to force thousands of civilians out of their homeland, to bomb & wound them, starve them & effectively close down their hospitals.I want him to stand up for peace
