The devastating consequences of climate breakdown are already here and the UN this week has warned that global warming will breach 1.5°C.
Labour's response: pushing ahead with more fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw.

This summer: Thousands of deaths from extreme weather.
This weekend in the media: What's the point of the Green Party?
This morning from the Labour party 👇

As a British Jew, I'm deeply concerned about the cynical blurring of Zionism & Judaism.
Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination.
So after the Labour Government apologised over Gaza: why are they still arming Israel?
As a British Jew, I am deeply concerned by the Green Party's vote to declare Zionism racism.
Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination.
Yesterday, I raised these concerns in Parliament and asked how Jewish communities can be reassured.
I welcome the Home Secretary's clear response: every council, regardless of political control, must uphold equality law and protect its residents from discrimination.

1) An emergency brake on rents - rising by the LOWEST of CPI inflation, wage growth, or 2%.
2) A commitment to protecting social security - not pitting people on benefits against spending on weapons.
3) A green energy revolution now - cutting bills for everyone, forever.

The worst squeeze in living standards since 1961.
The cost of renting to rise by 4% or 5% a year
Household energy prices set to jump by £276
We need serious action not tweaks or half measures. That means 👇

The dangerous & irresponsible blurring of challenging Israel & Antisemitism is deeply revealing.
A Labour Government who apologised over their actions over Gaza is demonstrating that it was all performative. Andy Burnham still stands with Israel whilst it kills innocent people.
Newham Green Party retweeted
I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".

I said in my speech to conference, the @RNLI are the best of us.
For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.
ALT children of English lifeboat volunteers are bullied at school because their parents rescue migrants in the English channel

Apparently Sally Rooney is Antisemitic because she opposes genocide.
People in Ireland are Antisemitic because they oppose genocide.
This is why Andy Burnhams comments yesterday were so deeply irresponsible - blurring all the lines between being Jewish & criticising Israel.

Heavy rain and extreme weather could put millions of homes at risk of surface water flooding this winter, with El Niño increasing the likelihood of wetter conditions.
Today I asked the Mayor about plans to alert people and how we ensure people get the support they need.
Newham Green Party retweeted
This is so powerful.
Labour are still arming a genocide.
We'll take no moral lectures from them when we're a party that are pushing for equal human rights for all.
Newham Green Party retweeted
Antisemitism is serious.
That’s precisely why it should never be weaponised as a political football. Labour doing so should disgust people across every community.
And all this while they continue to arm a genocide and lock up pensioners.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

Labour are really showing themselves up.
They're comparing those of us demanding an end to the genocide with Reform and Tommy Robinson.
Keir Starmer may have gone - but his politics and our Governments commitment to arms licences very much remain.
👇🏽
“We have to call out bad behaviour wherever it exists.”
@Len_Duvall challenges the Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ motion, Reform’s attack on Sagal Abdi-Wali and Susan Hall speaking at a rally with Tommy Robinson, while acknowledging where Labour’s has faced up to its failures too.

My friend and colleague @MothinAli is a hero, working to heal divisions.
His win today against right wing smears is not only for him but for all global majority politicians whatever party they serve in their fight against lies and abuse.

Excellent from Sheffield Green Party pointing out reservations working with Labour whilst their government arms a genocide.
If Labour chooses to destabilise local councils because they want to play party politics - then they can own the consequences for the city. 👏🏼

"Even voters who know little about Palestine will struggle to understand why Labour is turning on its own local administrations.
The impression it creates is not of a party that’s been renewed as a force for ‘hope’, but of one that remains petty, vindictive and self-serving."
The Labour Party’s refusal to work with the Greens unless they renounce anti-Zionism exposes the hollowness of the Burnham project.

The Labour Government are still continuing to arm a genocide.
They're still locking up pensioners who hold up cardboard signs.
And Palestinians are still being murdered every single day.
The Green Party will always unapologetically speak the truth.

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling “won’t take a penny off energy bills.”
The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS.
So where’s the Government’s impact assessment?
If they don’t have one, they must delay the oil & gas decision until they do.
