Lawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, and the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK still maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence? Why does the UK continue to be complicit?

It's clear we need to go much further to combat the corrosive impacts of huge political donations on UK politics. That means banning crypto donations, yes - but also introducing a cap on individual donations, greater transparency on campaign donations and spending, and more.
When people #VoteGreen this May, they know they'll be voting for someone locally rooted, someone who deeply cares about the issues affecting our communities, and someone who will work their socks off to make hope normal again.
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.
Given the huge concerns about children's safety online, it's crucial the govt acts with urgency, thoughtfulness, & care. I abstained on today’s motion for this reason. It would have rushed through (as yet unpublished) legislation in one day, with no real opportunity for scrutiny or consultation.
It's been another busy week as MP for North Herefordshire - here's quick update on what I've been up to!
It shouldn't take an MP intervening in a complaint for the DVLA to finally respond to an individual - but for 18 of my constituents, this has been the only way to get a response. The system must work better to ensure timely responses to the public.
Happy Friday everyone - here with a quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!
We cannot allow political subservience to Trump and Netanyahu to lead Britain into a dangerous, illegal, expensive war. It's time for Starmer to show some genuine backbone on the international stage.
The Mandelson scandal must lead to a fundamental change in the political establishment's treatment of the brave women and girls who speak out about horrific abuse at the hands of men like Jeffrey Epstein - and the treatment of those who support, enable, or allow those abuses.
Totally deranged #Trump says again that American's financial situations are less important than the #Iran war: "That's right, that's a perfect statement, I'd make it again." #TrumpIsInsane #25thAmendmentNow
HAMAS WAS NEVER A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. The lies & propaganda that is spread by the US & Israel is only to support & serve themselves & to justify GENOCIDE. ETHNIC CLEANSING of Palestinians. This is SICK & INHUMANE. #EgalitarianAF #FreePalestine #FreeSudan #FreeCongo #FreeYemen #EndGenocide
