@TheGreenParty @carla_denyer @itvpeston The Green Party might also dig deeper into why @CarolineLucas is publicly cheering Keir Starmer's appointment of a "climate envoy" who works with that same Cayman Island hedge fund who invest in oil, weapons, private health, etc. It's mystifying.

📺 "That's barely been covered in the news." @carla_denyer urges journalists to dig deeper into the Labour Party's £4 million donation from a hedge fund linked to fossil fuels on @itvpeston

@declassifiedUK Going in the other direction, back in 2011, the Guardian's leader writer and columnist Julian Glover became PM David Cameron's chief speechwriter 🤪

The Guardian says its "quality, investigative journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more”. So why has the Guardian hired Rishi Sunak's former spin doctor as its communications chief? declassifieduk.org/amber-de-botto…

@ElectoralCommUK Many thanks for the speedy reply 🙂

@TheWeeklyBull Hello, polling station staff will be collecting data on the number of people turned away at the UK Parliamentary general election. This will inform an analysis of the implementation of voter ID, which we'll publish.

@paulwaugh Is this you? #NoChange

Love this photo!! Thanks everyone for coming out today. Together, we can do this. 🌹❤️

Israel managed to kill European citizens working for an NGO, bomb the Iranian embassy, and announce the closure of Al Jazeera all on the same day. All while committing genocide on Palestinians. This can't be normal.

🚨 BREAKING: Labour confirms that it will continue selling weapons to Israel if it wins in 2024. Shadow Minister Pat McFadden said: "We don't have a boycott of selling arms to Israel", claiming that Israel is "abiding by international humanitarian law".

Happening now: Naamodniks, other Jews, and allies are blocking the entrance to the Foreign Office (@FCDOGovUK) to demand that they fund aid not arms for Gaza. As Jews in the UK, we demand that the government re-funds UNRWA and stops arming Israeli war crimes.

A leaked recording from a Tory fundraising event on 13 March reveals Alicia Kearns, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, asserting that UK government lawyers have advised that Israel is breaching international humanitarian law in Gaza. This claim, contradicting ministerial statements, suggests the UK may need to halt arms sales to Israel promptly to comply with international law. Kearns urged the government for transparency to maintain the international rules-based order, highlighting the potential legal and security implications of continued arms exports under these circumstances. Legal experts emphasise that failing to act could position the UK as complicit in aiding war crimes, thereby violating international law. #palestine #gaza #uk #israel

Despite a public call for genocide by Israel the @UKLabour leader @Keir_Starmer threatened to sack any frontbench MP who voted for a ceasefire motion in November '23.

Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said events in Gaza represent the ‘blatant violation of international humanitarian law on a mass scale’. #GazaGenocide aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/28…

'Reasonable grounds' to believe Israel committing genocide, says UN expert middleeasteye.net/news/un-rights…

Incredibly, the High Court has refused to admit fresh evidence of CIA plots to kidnap or kill Julian Assange. The judges say the rationale for kidnapping or killing Assange would be removed if he is extradited, and the evidence is thus not worth consideration. Read that again.

💥Wow! This weekend saw huge resistance to unethical sponsorship of two of London’s major museums - by the climate justice movement, Palestine solidarity groups, human rights groups, parents and scientists and young people 🧵1/7
