Heathrow Airport has pledged to go carbon neutral by 2030, not including “emissions from planes”. BP is going carbon neutral by 2050, not including “emissions from the use of their products”. Capitalism is going to kill you. But it also thinks you’re stupid.

I am praying for the hunger strikers tonight, may they live to see the end of this genocide.

The unwise proscription of Palestine Action has brought us to a point in which the Government is locking up protesters without trial for months on end and refusing to acknowledge them even on the brink of death. This absurd law must be repealed and the protesters given bail.

Under-50s Back Green Party as FIRST Choice in Latest YouGov Poll.

personal announcement: I have decided to respond to climate collapse and the rise of the far right by squeezing lemon juice into my eyes and screaming "AAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!"

BREAKING: Approximately a thousand protestors sat in Parliament Square with signs which read "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action" In a collective act of resistance, people are risking their liberty for our civil liberties and for the Palestinian people.

The entire thing is so fragile and short-sighted that any serious democrat would be ruthlessly tearing it apart. But here we are, being governed by the most intellectually dishonest, illiberal liberals around.

Journalists should ask: - Why, if that is true, they can't be prosecuted under criminal law? - Why Keir Starmer defended activists for doing the same? - Does she disagree with the UN human rights chief? - Will she resign if the ban is overturned? - Is this a sensible precedent?

Yvette Cooper now says that Palestine Action was banned because of "some disturbing information referring to future planning". Their excuse used to be "shady funding", but that got debunked. And so they slip and they slide, they lie and they lie.

It's a new day and I still support courageous protesters taking direct action to prevent war crimes. Peaceful protest strengthens democracy — banning protests weakens it. Free Palestine!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

fun campaign to be a part of, very happy we won! and tomorrow the real work for the left starts afresh!

in the park opposite my flat, there's a primary school class who are learning about climate change. I have the window open and can hear them talking about fossil fuels and trees and their favourite animals and it's super sweet.

🚨BREAKING: On May Day, over 1,000 workers are blockading the UK Trade Department in London and BAE Systems’ arms factories in Scotland, Wales and Lancashire 🇵🇸 🚩 #StopArmingIsrael

Five years ago... Thousands on the streets. A big pink boat in Oxford Circus. A garden bridge over the Thames. A day after this meeting, parliament was forced to declare a climate emergency. Say what you like about it now, but we ran rings around the lot of them. Good times!

#OtD 21 Feb 1848 the Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was published. Widely read by workers across the world, it remains one of the most influential texts ever written https://t.co/7h4IiPUzXQ

BTW one of the many reasons a Machiavellian realpolitik doesn't really wash anymore is that once the most alluring reward for a politician was long-term power and today the most alluring reward is the short-term thrill of telling a journalist how clever and dastardly you've been.

Not tweeting much these days, but Labour turning a debate on the collective punishment of the Palestinian people into a vapid little story about them blackmailing the Speaker of the House of Commons is so irredeemably gross. Everything that is wrong with Westminster.

Has been great to work with GNDR for the last year. I'm off for three or four months to concentrate on some other projects, but will miss disrupting events and campaigning for real progressives with this lot. Do check out our strategy and get involved. Hope has to be built.
