Some news: I’m standing as one of the Green Party’s candidates for Forest Hill in the local elections this May! I’ve lived in this area for over a decade; and I’m so proud to be standing alongside a fantastic suite of candidates who are ready to fight for our community.

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia. "Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital. The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike. Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction. I have signed @johnmcdonnellMP’s EDM calling on the Justice Secretary to ensure their human rights are upheld, and we wrote directly to the Justice Secretary last week.

Women and girls in Gaza remain at extreme risk of horrific targeted violence. Violence against women and girls must never be used as a tool of oppression in war. Proud to have sponsored the Red line for Gaza event in Parliament today Our voices are louder together ✊🏾

Today we joined thousands of others in central London for the #MakeThemPay march. The march had three main objectives: tax the rich, protect workers over billionaires and make polluters pay for the damage they're doing to our planet. @ActionAid's presence at the march also aimed to highlight the connection between climate change and gender inequality. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the march and made your voices heard! ✊

Hannah Einbinder on saying "Free Palestine" in her Emmys acceptance speech. "It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." bit.ly/3KlW7oN

People in Nepal, including children, have been killed by police and security forces in Gen Z-led protests against government corruption. Despite the purpose of the demonstrations, international media headlines have reduced them to merely protests over the country’s ongoing social media ban.

They are now killing people who posted abt their crimes inside their homes. They are killing injured people inside the hospitals. They are killing children in their school uniforms. Most of our social media apps are banned. Don't let our government silence us. #Nepalprotest

Women and girls are being targeted with horrific violence in Gaza. According to UN estimates, over 28,000 women and girls have been killed in Gaza over the last two years. That’s approximately one woman and one girl killed every hour through direct bombardment by the Israeli military. Women and girls are facing gender-based violence, starvation and a denial of their sexual and reproductive rights. Violence against women and girls should never be weaponised as a tool of oppression. This crosses every red line. We must act now. Join Red Line for Gaza, a movement bringing together all of our voices to end the killing and suffering in Gaza. Together, we will use our voice to demand action every week. Until the UK Government acts, we will not stop. It takes less than a minute to take part. By just hitting send on a short pre-prepared message to your MP, tens-of-thousands of us will ask the same question: What are they doing to stop the deaths in Gaza? And we’ll keep on demanding action, until the government takes action. Click the link below to add your voice now. redlineforgaza.org.uk

@uncanny_eli As someone who has seen the whole Cars franchise 20+ times (I have a small child who is obsessed with it for reasons I can’t comprehend), I cannot recommend Cars 3–you are right, it is awful. I hated Cars 2 but have grown to find its absurdity at least interesting though not good

Not in our name - we will not let the far-right weaponise violence against women and girls (VAWG) to further their racist and anti-migrant agenda. 🧵

Today we’re celebrating World Humanitarian Day. Our friend and colleague Alaa Abusamra explains how delivering aid in Gaza has now become a matter of life and death, ‘not just for those receiving it, but for those providing it too’. Since the start of 2025, 383 humanitarian workers have lost their lives in 27 different countries. And since 7 October 2023 at least 508 aid workers have been killed in Gaza alone. Gaza is now the most dangerous place in the world to be an aid worker. Humanitarians like Alaa face incredible dangers and risks every day in their efforts to help people. This is why it’s crucial to #ActForHumanity and support humanitarian workers. If you’d like to help workers provide urgently-needed aid to the people of Gaza you can donate to our Gaza Appeal using the link below: bit.ly/42phxIX

🚨 The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Join me in calling on @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy to act now to bring about a permanent ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages and detainees, and make sure life-saving supplies can get into Gaza: bit.ly/4foviMo

Will you demand action in Gaza? Make your voice heard - email the prime minster and foreign secretary today. Send your email using this link ➡️ bit.ly/4oxJsyH Right now, life-saving humanitarian supplies - including food, clean water, medical equipment and fuel - are being blocked, with only a fraction reaching people in need. Palestinian women and children are starving. Keir Starmer and David Lammy have claimed they are making every effort to end the onslaught on Gaza. But UK made weapon parts are flowing into Israel and trade continues. Our pre-written email asks the UK Government to do everything possible to bring about a permanent ceasefire. Send your email using the link above.
