Sitting down with me ahead of the Green Party Convention and AGM tomorrow, @oharamal discussed his party's performance in recent years and how serving in the Oireachtas compares to Northern Irish politics

Labour just sold £1.3bn of NHS services to private equity.
Pay-off for political donations.
Private equity =profiteering, asset stripping, low investment, staff exploitation, poor care.
30%-40% money vanishes in profits - people get less for more money

Help! I (36F) blocked my ex (53M) on twitter but then he spent $44 billion and renamed the entire website after himself so he could see my tweets again

New details about the pro-rape riots in Israel. Military police trying to arrest rapists were beaten at gunpoint and pepper sprayed by idf soldiers. Those soldiers faced zero consequences.
IDF soldiers attacked military police at gunpoint for arresting comrades over Sde Teiman abuse

In three months, three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump.
Democracy is not billionaires buying elections. That’s Oligarchy.
We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections.

More of this 'fibre optic cables' nonsense.
They run across the Atlantic Ocean and can be attscked anywhere in the oceam. They're privately owned and there are hundreds of them.
It's not for us to protect them (never been attacked before btw) and we couldn’t if we tried!

Excellent and necessary article by @nickshaxson:
"Starmer seems to be taking the side of global monopoly power over the people of Britain." It's a craven and ultimately self-defeating approach. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Morning news journalists can talk more nonsense about Taylor Swift or they can put to Labour MPs their governments connections to genocide?
Which will they choose.
NEW: @openDemocracy
Labour suspended some arms to Israel but less than 10%.
They also took a £4m donation before the election & declared it after everyone had voted.
Now investigative journalists are making the connection between these facts. 👇🏼

I don't begrudge anyone a holiday (albeit that's what recess is for) but I am concerned at the number of ministers who aren't turning up to face Assembly scrutiny.
Half of the Executive was away this week.
Meanwhile the Executive isn't bringing forward any actual legislation..
There has been criticism of Justice Minister Naomi Long’s decision to go on holiday to the Caribbean, missing several sittings of the Assembly during a crisis, with violence against women in Northern Ireland reaching record numbers. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

The German Greens disgrace the @europeangreens and our global movement. The international courts must hold Israel's enablers, including Germany and the UK, accountable for their part in this genocide.
German Foreign Minister Baerbock defends Israel's killings of Palestinian civilians. "Civilian places" lose "their protected status" because "terrorists abuse that", she claims. This is of course nonsense under international law. The International Criminal Court accuses Israel of war crimes and crimes against humanity. But Baerbock wants to justify the crimes. "That's what Germany stands for", she claims. What a disgrace.

We have to show, that whenever more lives, more worlds, are taken by femicide and the pathology of violent misogyny here, that we will be there to fight back until it ends.
Wednesday, 16th Oct. 1 PM. Queens Belfast.

Israel is committing genocide.
Israel is burning people alive.
And so many of us in our Jewish communities stand against innocent people being massacred.
Just listening to vile @ZackPolanski on @LBC accuse Israel of genocide and burning Palestinians alive. I really don’t understand why @LBC doesn’t just go out onto the streets of London and shout “kill all the Jews” through a megaphone.

Airport expansion means accelerating climate breakdown. The UK government's announcement of an extension of #Stansted is yet another assault on human and planetary wellbeing.

BREAKING: Over 40 MPs from seven parties have backed my motion calling on the Government to impose sanctions on Israel.
Israel is carrying out war crimes.
We need real action from Governments to force it to stop.

Yes, and surely "a clear breach of international law" requires consequences otherwise Israel is enabled, yet again, to shred it. You need to act @SimonHarrisTD, this cannot go on.
