Here's another for you @SuellaBraverman. 18 year old boy from Enfield. His Mum dies and he has no family. He ends up homeless living in a shed. He gets my contact details and I help him. I put him in the Travelodge on the A10 for 2 weeks until I can find him a room in a housing association. I knew the staff so this was possible. He was scared, cold, wet, and starving when I picked him up. He cried for hours. Anyhow we looked after him and now he's doing a degree in engineering. It was not a lifestyle choice for him. And I'm sure he'd be more than happy to educate you on this.

What an amazing boost of hope: hundreds of Jewish and Arab-Palestinian citizens gathered together in Haifa, a Jewish-Arab city in Israel, to send a clear message for partnership and for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
We have a peace movement in Israel: @omdimbeyachad

Conflating the Ukrainian people with Nazis is a disgusting anti-Ukrainian trope and I hate seeing those people come out of the woodworks again. By all means debate foreign policy but don’t call yourself socialists while going around repeating Putinist slurs.

Shameful that Starmer took to the airwaves this morning to condemn workers fighting for fair pay & conditions👇
The leader of Labour should be backing staff, not bosses
We have overwhelming support from students. If he cares about them he needs to recommit to abolishing fees

Care workers in @unisontheunion shared their stories with me today in Parliament.
They have been flat out throughout the pandemic, but are still not getting the pay and conditions they deserve.
We need a National Care Service that pays workers properly.

There's a Polish tradition where we leave a spare plate on the Christmas Eve table for an unexpected stranger.
I wonder if there's a spare plate tonight on the tables of those who are forcing refugees to spend Christmas freezing in a forest.

Graham Hutchings’ "China 1949: Year of Revolution" reinforces that the revolution led by Mao Zedong did not bring China's workers to power or even mobilise them to any real extent. The Chinese "Communist" regime has never been socialist.

Both major parties calling for a *police investigation* because some students organised a pro-Palestine protest on their campus is really, really chilling.
Why is it always about protecting the free speech of the famous and powerful but denying it to everyone else?

Why is Theresa May on my TV talking about rights for women and girls? When she was PM what did she do for Windrush women, women who burnt to death in Grenfell, women who suffered from legal aid cuts, women struggling on universal credit?

Obviously social care for disabled people should be free. Come on Labour, what are you doing.

SIGN NOW: Open letter to the @BoardofDeputies. Our community must speak out in the face of racism and violence in Jerusalem. You can't call yourselves anti-racist otherwise.

To 'deal with' Anti Social Behaviour -
We need better provision
Need more work and investment to identify factors that make those more susceptible to ASB
Aim to introduce preventative measures, not more draconian, not ASBO punishments and not just more bobbies on the beat.

I agree with agriculture being a massive problem but carbon footprint and individual consumption is a scapegoat. Instead we need to fight with all our Anticapitalist politics and power for cellular agriculture (meat, fish, animal products and even plants all grown in labs)

It is 1 year since the first lockdown.
From locking down too late, to PPE shortages, to not lifting Sick Pay, to failing to fix Track and Trace, to not giving mental health services the funding needed, to not rewarding NHS staff with a decent pay rise, the Tories have failed us.

The government is only delaying the #PoliceCrackdownBill because @SistersUncut mobilised us to the streets.
