Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio…

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right. Please RT. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

I've launched a new petition calling for Wealth Taxes, not more cuts. I'll be presenting this in Parliament ahead of the coming Budget. The very wealthiest must be the ones who pay for the investment our public services so desperately need. change.org/p/we-need-wealth-…

These rivers have all tested +ve for thiamethoxam since 2020 (data from Env Agency). This neonicotinoid was banned in Europe in 2018, but is allowed on sugar beet crops in UK. That is its only authorised use. Yet it is turning up in rivers all over the place... Hugely concerning.

The UK government's criminalisation of rough sleeping, now passing through Parliament in the Criminal Justice Bill, is overseen by a Prime Minister who owns four luxury homes for his own use. One of them, in Kensington, is reserved for accommodating family guests.🧵

Encountered a hunt yesterday whilst out walking at Haytor on Dartmoor. Shortly before they arrived, we'd also seen a fox bolting across the moor. Presumably the hunt had driven it from its hole ('earth') and blocked the entrance? Thought fox hunting was illegal? 🤔

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week. Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week. I'd go with that.

Our wildlife is at risk. UK Government has approved the use of a deadly, bee-killing pesticide. Why, when we owe so much to our pollinators, are they being put in danger? Find out more and ask British Sugar to help farmers sell neonic-free sugar.👉 wtru.st/back-beet-farmers
