Dr Ellie Chowns MP

@elliechowns

In 2020, Keir Starmer said he would bring in legislation which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs. He has not done this - so I have, tabling the Armed Conflict (Requirements) Bill earlier this month.

The next few days are crucial to stopping Reform and getting Hannah Spencer elected as Gorton and Denton's next MP. I'll be in Manchester on Polling Day, and I'd love to see you there! Sign up to join here: greenparty.org.uk/get-involved...

Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place. The PM must resign.

Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so. This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.

On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law - the UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally - the UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?

Pitching development against defence is utterly short-sighted; we will not make Britain safer by making the rest of the world less secure.

Even before the Mandelson scandal, and the current spectacle of a tiny number of Peers blocking the will of the majority of elected MPs, it was clear the HoL needs urgent reform. Labour promised to do so in their 2024 manifesto. So why won't the govt get to work on this?

Among the horrifying testimonies emerging from Iran is the use of sexual assault as a weapon of repression against detainees. The UK govt urgently must raise these accounts in their conversations with Iranian representatives & lay out steps to support the safety of protestors.

We all want to see a more efficient and productive court system - but scrapping jury trials, a fundamental right and cornerstone of our democracy, won't accomplish this.

Work to tackle sewage pollution and agricultural pollution must go hand in hand if we are to truly clean up our waterways - that means both taking water companies into public ownership and supporting farmers to transition to river-friendly farming methods.

Struggling families need support all year, not just for the summer. That means going much further than the measures announced today to tackle cost-of-living: bringing in free bus travel for under 22s, universal free school meals, and more.

Big news from 🇵🇹! It plans to halve its fossil fuel dependence over the next decade. Already at ~80% renewables in its power mix, the next steps are: 1️⃣ electrifying transport, industry & heating. 2️⃣ backing a windfall tax on companies profiting from fossil fuel price spikes due to the Iran conflict!

@Channel4news reports on Putin’s weakening grip on power as Ukraine hits Russia deep in its own territory. Imagine the hold that Putin would have had over Nathan Gill if our security services hadn’t taken him out. Relax - he’s gone. The question is - how credible is it that he was the only one?
