For the third year running toxic blue-green algae blooms have covered much of Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the UK and Ireland. But this summer, the thick green veneer -- so widespread it is visible from space -- has been worse than ever. ➡️ u.afp.com/SPpj

Proud to speak in this important debate and to support @RachaelMaskell Reasoned Amendment As I said, we have a decision to make in this house today: either we stand with the vulnerable and we show them that we're listening, that we care, that we can make politics work for them, not against them. It is our moral duty to stand with the most vulnerable and to oppose this Bill.

There will be no redeeming this vile country called Israel Irish trauma surgeon Dr Morgan McMonagle says the # of casualties at Gaza's Nasser Hospital were “by far the worst” in his medical career, in particular the children.

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide. That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed. End all arms sales to Israel now.

#BBCBreakfast: "The BBC has apologised for serious flaws in the production of a documentary about the war in Gaza" The serious flaws? Going some way to humanising Palestinians.

Looking forward to going to this event in Brussels on Wednesday with Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. Many thanks to @mvdschulenburg for the invite - at a time when Europe's elites are scrambling to keep war fever going and the defence racket rolling, there's never been a more important time to speak up for peace and sanity.

I'm so pleased to hear today in response to my written question that the UK Government will consider my request to discuss the need for a UN Convention on the Rights of Older People 🙌 They looked after us, so now we look after them! Our older people are so precious and yet many are treated so poorly. It is absolutely disgusting and we need to protect their rights in this ever fickle society where life is cheap and very little treated with respect!

Today, thousands of us demonstrated outside the US embassy with a message for Donald Trump: hands off Gaza. The resilience of the Palestinian people will not be broken — and nor will our solidarity. We will be here for as long as it takes until Palestine is free.
