The Green Party is still the only party which would scrap nuclear weapons, am I right?
Thanks to amazing team who came canvassing in Denton with me today - we had a lot of fun & fab reception on the doorsteps 🙂. And if anyone is still (weirdly) thinking of voting Labour - one more Labour backbencher will make no difference - the first Green MP from Manchester would be transformative 💪
I'm attending @DeclassifiedUK.org's first ever summit, Challenging the War Machine, tomorrow - online!

Should church mission be paid for by the profits from war? News the Church Commissioners, who fund amazing amount of Anglican Mission, that they have changed criteria to increase investment in defence is shocking. If you are outraged by this come and help plan the response. https://loom.ly/JXCWAL0
No one can stop Palestinians from getting their education. On Saturday, the Islamic University of Gaza opened its doors for in-person classes for the first time in the two years since the Israeli military began its genocide.
Today and every day…

Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people in Gaza continues.
Armed, aided and abetted by Keir Starmer’s government.
There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
This is despicable, and dangerous for democracy! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... MPs vote to support proscribing Palestine Action as terror group | The Independent

Well said @elliechowns.bsky.social
Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction - and by upgrading ours, we send a signal that it’s acceptable for all other countries to seek to acquire them too, making the world far less safe
Well said @elliechowns.bsky.social !!
