I’ve just been at the “Trump Not Welcome” demonstration in London, standing alongside people from across the country to tell the govt that a leader who abuses his office to enrich his family and fan the flames of racism, xenophobia, and misogyny is not welcome in the UK.

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

On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law. UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally. UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?

It could not be more clear that Russia poses an immediate threat to our democracy. The govt must take this threat seriously, cracking down on dirty money in politics in the upcoming Elections Bill & conducting criminal investigations into Russian interference in our elections.

Since I became an MP I have repeatedly urged the govt to act for Gaza: recognise Palestine, impose an arms embargo, stop military cooperation, ban settlement goods, push for ceasefire & aid, and hold war criminals to account. This isn’t politics, it’s humanity. The UK must act.

Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

5 peaceful climate protesters are facing an excessive sentence under the undemocratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. I’m calling on Labour to repeal the Conservatives’ repressive anti-protest laws which undermine our obligations under international law.

If you're wondering how seriously Starmer takes the responsibility of PMQs, today he chose to completely dodge my question about water pollution and support for farmers - and instead rant about America, nuclear weapons, and cocaine. Utterly ridiculous behaviour.

Every day we watch as the US and Israel breach intl law with seeming impunity, wreaking chaos and devastation on the world stage. This cannot continue. The UK must take serious action and make clear we will not be made accomplice to Trump and Netanyahu's illegal aggression.

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked. When will the govt get their priorities in order?

Yet another dismissive, party-political answer by the PM at PMQs. The disparity between the UK's wealthiest and poorest is growing every day, with millions struggling with cost of living. When will the PM accept that the problem in our country is inequality, not immigration?

Pathetic that the PM refused to answer my simple question about climate action today. Instead of playing party political games, why doesn't Starmer show some actual leadership and finally put an end to climate-wrecking projects like Rosebank oil field? #StopRosebank
