Imran Hussain, "Will the PM make it clear to the Israeli gov that laying siege to civilians in Gaza by cutting food, water, power and medical supplies, and indiscriminate air strikes killing civilians, is in clear violation of international law." @Imran_HussainMP
Rishi Sunak, "The entity responsible for the suffering we're seeing is Hamas and Hamas alone"

Marc Lamont Hill puts every interviewer to shame by forcing Israels former Foreign Minister to admit that Israel is deliberately starving and bombing a captive civilian population to get what they want. A War Crime. Not one British journalist has done this

Sure you’re right that this is a big coming battle. But why no mention of the many Tory MPs, including red wall ones, who are committed to net zero? 116 are members of @CEN_HQ which backs it. Mackinlay and Baker could only assemble 19 for their letter attacking it.
Net zero - the new brexit? I’ve written for the politics pages this week about the armies marshalling for the political fight we will all be talking about in a few months time

This government wants to silence you, to stop you speaking out against their law-breaking and corruption, and they're using the #PolicingBill to do it.
The new laws in the #PCSCBill would have thrown the Jarrow Marchers into prison.

"If the jury is a barrier to ensuring they are punished then that needs to be addressed."
Conservative MP @tomhunt1988 calling for juries to be compelled to return verdicts that please politicians.
A sensible political party would have no room for somebody like this.

Great to see former Unilever chief & campaigning businessman @PaulPolman join @DeborahMeaden, @TheBodyShopUK & others in spotlighting the positive role that protest plays in social change
Just added my name to this letter from business calling on UK peers to amend draft legislation that threatens the right to peaceful protest. This fundamental freedom makes our economies more stable and galvanises vital social and environmental change linkedin.com/posts/paulpolma…
