Sprat are small members of the herring family, and are the basis of whole marine ecosystems. Yet they're being hoovered up by pair-trawlers to feed fish farms.

Please sign our petition calling for a pause on sprat trawling until we have more data.

Thank you!

By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.

Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.

The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

Striking in this debate hosted by @krishgm.bsky.social how many people in the comments are saying that a wealth tax at this point is so obvious.

Is it any surprise that the Labour Governments response is to continually try and take swipes at the Green Party?

Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

If 24 people are dead due to airstrikes, I think we're safe to assume that the ceasefire is not being "tested", but is "over" - if it ever started in the first place.

I’m told by younger Dublin friends, that if one of their number says something reactionary, they are immediately called ‘Enoch’. He’s Ireland’s most infamous anti-trans activist. His behaviour has associated the anti-trans stance with being ‘utterly intransigent’ & irrational.

Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.

Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.
