Hmm. My thoughts exactly.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-…

"The only demonstrations that really work are disruptive ones." @GaryLineker believes disruptive climate protesters could be considered "heroes" if the world takes action against the climate crisis, and says "it's very worrying" people are being arrested for protesting.

I have just sent the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt - supported by major charities - a letter asking him to postpone the government's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April. The letter is at attached (plus supplementary explanation) please read and feel free to share

Wholesale gas is FIVE times cheaper today than it was in August. Wholesale gas is 30% cheaper today than before Putin invaded Ukraine. In 16 days Ofgem announce the next energy bill price. Ofgem must cut energy bills now.

Her Tory cronies gave Michelle Mone’s PPE 'firm' £203,000,000 - a company that was days old, had no employee, no premises and just £100 in the bank Dodgy PPE killed untold numbers and undermined the #NHS. What were you thinking @RishiSunak? willblack-53220.medium.com/this-stench-of…

Massive turnout in London today to support striking workers 👊 The message to the government is clear: #EnoughlsEnough

Tulip Sadiq asks the prime minister about the welfare of 200 unaccompanied migrant children who’ve gone missing. Tory MP Jonathan Gullis heckles ‘well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Tory Party find a new low #PMQs

If you think Gullis should be sacked for this then lets retweet and get it trending #ToriesOut202 #SunakOut93 #GeneralElectionNow #EnoughIsEnough

Today I presented my Bill in Parliament to allow the public to directly call a General Election when the vast majority have lost faith in the Government, as they have now. Our democracy needs modernising so the public can stop unrepresentative governments clinging on to power.

Jonathan Gullis MP when hearing at #PMQs about child refugees being kidnapped from UK hotels for exploitation said “well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’ Sometimes you wonder if they have any moral compass

The Tories just blocked my Bill to extend free school meals to all primary school children. But this isn't over. I'll bring it back to Parliament – and when I do, I need even more MPs backing it. Ask your MP to back the Bill: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-y…

Wholesale gas prices are now below where they were when Russia invaded Ukraine. So tell us why we're still paying thousands of pounds for our gas bills.

Sarah & Sean’s trial in #Greece has been halted due to procedural shortcomings, but they shouldn’t be on trial at all. These humanitarian rescue workers are on trial just for helping to save refugees at sea and must be free to get on with their lives. #Greece: #DropTheCharges
