NEW: NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying *in their own words*. Believe them. My new piece for @thenerve_news [link below] 1/

Capping student loan interest rates at 6%? Not good enough. After months of criticism this is the Labour government's insufficient response to the debt trap that is student loans. It's time to scrap tuition fees altogether.

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

I’ve joined fellow MPs & 40 organisations urging the PM to tax windfall profits because of the war in Iran. No company should profit from conflict while people face rising bills.

Well done Wales!. Another first for Wales as it publishes its guidance on Side Road Zebras. Where 20mph limits exist on main and side roads then a simple low-cost zebra crossing can be implemented. gov.wales/sites/default/…

New from @GreenRupertRead: an important reflection on how repeated warnings about climate and systemic risk are being overlooked, and what that means for where we are now. Take a moment to read: resilience.org/stories/2026-0…

NY's climate chief is right, eco policies and affordability DO go hand in hand! gothamist.com/news/nyc-clima… We need more of this messaging from @UKLabour. As Reform and their climate-denying pals ride high, the cost-of-living argument is crucial to keeping the public on side.

#AMR - have to think lots more on biocides. "Found bacteria with signs of chlorhexidine tolerance in samples collected from top of doorsills ... suggests bacteria might have hitched a ride on airborne particles, like dead skin cells" news-medical.net/news/20260402/…

@sophielouisecc There is no economic sense to what you want Sophie. You can’t simultaneously support an ever increasing pension for a top heavy population pyramid and be against pronatalist economic policies. Who pays for the pensions in the future? It’s utterly illiterate

@sophielouisecc Large scale benefit payments is not a function of worklessness. It's a function of poverty. Many people work long hours but remain poor. This is because their wage is low but their rent is high. Looks like you want to keep these people and their children poor. Pretty callous.

My MP told me recently, 'there's nothing wrong with profit'. But... 'Rentier Capitalism' is creating monopolies that give private investors unearned income, parasitically sucks money from customers, suppresses wages & fuels inequality. Tax avoidance too? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
