What did you do to implement the 20 recommendations of the Jay report?
What did you do to implement the mandatory reporting of abuse / suspected abuse?
Did you or any Tory demand a national inquiry?
- no you all told Telford / Rotherham / Rochdale / Oldham to do their own
You epitomise the bandwagon jumping highlighted

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."
Read that again: **116** times.
Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??

I was at the House of Commons today in support of the campaign to put libraries in primary schools. As I walked down the corridor, I came face to face with Michael Gove. I asked him if I could borrow a fronted adverbial off him, as I had left mine at home.

I have just heard Liz Kendall MP, who is Secretary of State for Work and Pensions saying on the morning media round that Labour believes that everyone should have the chance to be ’earning or learning’.
This is another trite sound bite.
What about those who are caring?
What about those who are sick?
What about those unable to do either of these things in a formal sense?
What about the retired?
What about those for whom there is no work or training they can afford to access, most especially now bus fares are increasing?
These questions are so obvious, what is Labour thinking? The obvious question is does it just not care about those it doesn’t see as ‘economic units of production’? My suspicion is that is the case.
This is not a Labour Party as we once knew it.

To prevent flooding in our communities, we must start in the uplands.
Replanting woodlands and restoring peat bogs helps store more water in the landscape, reducing the risk downstream.
We can keep building higher flood walls, but working with nature is far more effective.

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

While attention here is focused on the US election, Israel is completing an ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza. This is a war crime under any definition.

There is something profoundly moving about Palestinians in Gaza getting behind Jill Stein’s campaign.
She is the only Jewish candidate.
Jews and Muslims are cousins. Zionism is a sickness that drives them apart and needs them to be enemies.
I cannot wait til we are rid of it.

I lost it when I heard they made the RNLI pay for their lifeboat ramps, I just do not believe anyone could be that callous, tell me it was not true
Of greater policy significance is the expectation that financially challenged public services pay ‘market rates’ rent for NHS health centres and hospital premises owned by private companies, PFI and LIFT schemes across England. The NHS should not be treated as a business in the marketplace. The NHS should own its new and refurbished hospital facilities and community health centres paid for from public funding and delivering best value for public money.

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.
Protect people and the planet.

Hard to express how few fucks I give that our budget does not please a Brexit-voting billionaire who moved his business to Singapore and bought 36,000 acres of farmland to avoid paying tax.

"Revealed: billionaires are ‘ultimate beneficiaries’ linked to €3bn of EU farming subsidies."
YOU, the taxpayer, are funding a regime that is both wiping out nature and driving smaller farmers off the land.
And the lobbyists make sure little changes.

Most of us Brits can’t vote against Trump, but we can influence what happens in the UK.
Whether you’re tweeting, door knocking, or standing as a candidate, you’re helping push Trump’s politics out of Britain.
So whatever happens in the US election, let’s keep up the fight for tolerance, respect, and cooperation at home.
