Ella’s Law has been published πŸ‘

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

@rachelmillward.bsky.social speaks to Sky about Labour's lurch to the right on asylum policy - and why the Green Party is focused on real solutions to the cost of living instead.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

More than 1200 people have been killed across Iran, with many more injured and hospitals under attack.

No nation should be able to break intl law with impunity - civilians and healthcare facilities must be protected and those responsible for illegal attacks held to account.

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA 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 β€œwe 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 β€œmaybe 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.

Reeves reaffirms commitment to end windfall tax in talks with North Sea bosses The Chancellor met figures from BP, TotalEnergies and Serica in Downing Street.

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants

With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive Β£2.7bn per year in tax breaks

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!

Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics.

But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy.

How low will Labour go? πŸ“‰

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

Labour say their economic plan is working.

Who for?

Families trying to put food on the table? Renters facing yet another rent hike? Billpayers lining the pockets of water company shareholders?

It's time for the Government to get real on the cost of living crisis.

The govt must do more than express concern over the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank - they must take action.

Ban trade with illegal settlements and impose new sanctions on Netanyahu and all responsible for this violence.

Dear Prime Minister,
In recent days we have seen a deeply concerning escalation in conflict in the Middle East 
following a series of illegal and dangerously irresponsible airstrikes on Iran by the United States 
and Israel.
You have now confirmed that UK bases will be used by the US for their operations in the area. 
This is a significant concession to President Donald Trump and one which risks drawing the UK 
into a dangerous conflict.
During your campaign to be elected leader of the Labour Party, you spoke compellingly about 
learning the lessons of the Iraq war. In particular, you set out legislation you would pass as 
Prime Minister, ensuring that military action is only taken if:
β€’ The lawful case for it is made
β€’ There is a viable objective
β€’ Consent is given by the House of Commons.
We agree that such legislation is needed to prevent the UK from being dragged into destructive, 
illegal and dangerous wars abroad, and so we have today tabled the Armed Conflict 
(Requirements) Bill.
The Bill requires that
1. Before armed forces may be deployed for armed conflict, a Minister of the Crown must 
publish a statement setting out the reasons for the deployment, an assessment of its 
compliance with international law, the objective of the deployment and an assessment 
of the viability of that objective, and
2. Any such deployment must be approved in advance by a resolution of the House of 
Commons

I invite your support to pass this bill.
In an increasingly unstable world, it is more important than ever that decisions about the UK’s 
involvement in military action abroad are taken carefully, soberly, and with the best interests of 
the British people at heart. We believe this piece of legislation would ensure that.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Ellie Chowns MP

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader.

He supported it then, and he should support it now.
