Saleh Al-Ja'afrawi, one of the last remaining Palestinian journalists in Gaza, was murdered by Israeli-affiliated gangs in Gaza city today. In a conflict that regularly dehumanized not only Palestinians at large but esp Palestinian men, Al-Ja'afrawi represented the best of humanity. rip💔🕊️

On #WorldHomelessDay, it's important to remember that the scale of homelessness goes much deeper than what is visible on the surface.

This is due to a broken housing system.

An image of an iceberg. Above the waterline is the figure of 4667 rough sleeping, below the water at the larger part of the iceberg is the figure of 131140 households in temporary accommodation. Deeper still is an unknown figure for the other types of hidden homelessness. The tagline at the bottom is the hashtag for World Homeless Day.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

This isn’t an unavoidable fact of life. It’s the direct result of policy choices made my those in power.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

“Deport.” When referring to people who are kidnapped in international waters and taken to a country without their consent, the term “deportation” makes no sense.
