Our military courts are still failing survivors of sexual violence.
And predators walk free thanks to a broken system

👦🏾🧓🏻Shared my family’s story of why Eastbourne is the most compassionate place there is.
🏖️Competed with Nigel Farage on the size of our piers…😂

Is conspiring to stop the traffic, in the cause of raising alarm about climate change, deserving of custodial sentences of five and four years - when so many crimes of violence and thefts go unprosecuted and our prisons have run out of capacity? Does anyone think these sentences do credit to our judicial system? I am bemused

Yesterday, five people were imprisoned under the draconian new Tory laws for between 4 and 5 years, for entirely peaceful protest. Longer than many offenders get for major violent crimes.
My column this week calls for Labour to repeal those laws.

🗳️Why we knock until the last minute!
At 9.45, we met Kerrie-Ann who lives on the road I grew up on who couldn’t go to vote as she had no-one to wheel her to her polling station, just a few minutes away.
🦽 I promised I’d get her there and back in one piece, and so off we went - me running with her wheel chair over uneven pavements at top speeds!
We made it just before the station closed at 10pm and she was able to cast her vote for me, her neighbour.
Magical way to end polling day. ✨
Thank you ALL for your support 🙏🙏

George Monbiot, "Every single thing this Conservative gov did during the pandemic was wrong.. If you're going to lockdown, you have to lockdown early, they failed to do that..If you're not going to lockdown, you need like in South Korea and Taiwan, a really really good test and trace system"
"Taiwan lost 7 people in the first year of the pandemic, without any lockdowns.. Because they had a highly effective gov that wanted to save lives. We had a gov with a prime minister talking about letting the bodies pile high"
"A shocking catalogue of failure by people who should have never been in those positions of power in the first place. The worst possible people in the worst possible time" #BBCQT #CovidInquiry

All the shouting about China in the Conservative party conceals a central fact: The UK has no China strategy. It has no China expertise. Its policy towards the country is non-existent. inews.co.uk/opinion/when-com…

Explaining Why 🇬🇧 is Stuck in #Brexit Catch 22 on @BBCNewsnight
Fifth delay for import checks needed to control public health and stop disease coming over here threatening British lives is a massive betrayal and shows Britain can’t afford to continue with Brexit.
