The NHS survives on migrant labour. The NHS is the most beautiful thing this country has ever created. My foreign colleagues don't deserve to be the scapegoats of hard-right propaganda after saving lives and keeping the vulnerable safe. It's just not on. Migrant labour is valuable labour ✊🏼🚑✊🏾🩺✊🏿🩻

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

You know what else is unfair?? Having to live in a foreign nation, unable to return home because it's unsafe, all the while being scapegoated for that nations problems even though it was the country you fled to which is selling the weapons that were used to drive you away

Perhaps if labour do some actual socialism instead of warmongering, racist dog-whistling & Reform cosplay they wouldn't need to be replaced

We wanted to discuss Trump's threats to Spain in plenary and the potential impact on EU-US trade relations but the conservatives teamed up with the far-right and blocked our requests 😐

The EU must stand united, not on the side of Trump.

Until first past the post is replaced with constituency linked proportional representation @greenparty.org.uk is the tactical voting choice to keep the fascist Reform Party out of power

Looks like Zack has a fair chance of being in number 10 after election 2029. Labour, Conservative or Reform leadership after the next GE would be disastrous for Britain.

Seats should match votes. Any law passed which modifies our democratic process without replacing first past the post with proportional representation is either incomplete or flawed

Great to hear @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaking at an event to launch @transactualuk.bsky.social’s Trans Lives report. When he talks about inclusion and solidarity he really means it.

This is important for everyone. We all need to support each other.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 72,000 Palestinians.

Now Palestinians in Gaza again face enforced hunger after Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, with humanitarian groups warning supplies will last only a few days.

End the siege. Let food in.

Wars among major powers have global impacts. Our winds and tides cannot be blocked or sanctioned. A transition to renewables from fossil fuels projects our environment, keeps bills down, and doesn't make our economy vulnerable to conflict thousands of miles away

Once again @greenparty.org.uk trying to enact the values of the labour movement because the labour party has abandoned them.
Starmer's pledges were written with the sincerity of scribbles on the back of a fag packet.
We should have robust protections in place preventing illegal war

Assassinating the leader of a nation you're in negotiations with, and bombing schools full of children is deeply evil.
To maintain such a close friendship between our countries is a stain on our nation
