As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.
The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Dislike the sound of plans for a digital ID roll-out?
There are good reasons!!
Immigrants in the UK are already subject to a digital ID system & it's been a mess since day one.
Very important report here from brilliant Migrant Voice with @openrightsgroup.org explains the key issues 🤓👇

You can read about the launch of the report on our website, along with a range of issues raised by speakers. Not only did we hear about way in which the digital immigration system excludes many migrants, we also heard how it can put abuse victims at further risk.

Is this what Labour MPs, the Unions and Labour supporters mean about the Workers’ Rights Bill helping Workers and their Rights?
BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.
Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.
Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.
Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.

Amu Gib is extremely frail
For 10 days the prison refused to acknowledge she was on hunger strike
Another prisoner, Qesser (20), has dangerously low BP + high heart rate, blocked from hospital care
They're political prisoners held without trial
They must be bailed and proper medical treatment 🇵🇸

Green Party London Assembly Members stand strong against the Home Secretary’s cruel new asylum plans.
Migrants aren’t the cause of inequality, the housing shortage or cuts to services, and they shouldn’t be treated as scapegoats.
We reject reforms that replace compassion with conditionality.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

One more way in which the neoliberal university model is failing us
Plant taxonomy is disappearing - and so is our ability to protect species 🍂
Nearly half of countries have fewer than 10 plant taxonomists. Kew is working to close the gap, but we need more experts fast.

For some reason, a leader of a political party thought it more important to appear on a Question Time special about immigration than to appear on Have I Got News For You.
I know, weird, innit?
Anyway, he didn't have time for that reason.

The new Silvertown Tunnel is inconvenient but free because the @london.gov.uk made it for vehicles not residents

We thought (or rather we hoped) that Daisy Cooper may have been supportive of the Green Party policies on migration and refugees
However we can never be to sure with the LibDems as to what tack they’ll take on things from one day to another

I was looking forward to the Zack vs Zia battle and it turned into the Zack vs everyone except Daisy Cooper battle. It was refreshing to finally hear a QT guest say that immigration is not the reason for failing public services. They are running scared and maybe there are a few more greens tonight.
