The political ambition to achieve climate justice is being spearheaded by Youth Strikers. Theyre building on the fearless energy of decades of climate mobilisations predominantly from Global South communities. Excited to march with them in Brighton tomorrow & speak at their rally

Horrifying and heartbreaking. This is the direct result of our brutal immigration system and the hostile environment. No human being is illegal.

At @SadiqKhan 's manifesto launch this morning, @Ed_Miliband says: we need a Labour Mayor who knows “If we fail on climate, we fail on social justice.” This manifesto makes clear London needs a Green Recovery with justice at the heart of our transition to a greener fairer future

Wow looking at the scenes before I speak to the Brighton Strikers - feeling in awe and inspired by their power!! My piece on lessons we can learn from the Strikers from demanding Climate reparation to a Green New Deal:

Great evening at Lewisham East BAME Forum. The @UKLabour Party membership & leadership must reflect the diverse communities it serves for a healthy democracy to thrive. Let’s continue to build that from ground up & also see more change at a national level.Thanks @LewEastBAMELab !

So proud that yesterday 250,000 people from across the UK marched in opposition to Trumps bigoted politics. We sent a clear message that we stand in opposition to Trump’s ideology of hate & division, and of May’s Hostile Environment. Onwards comrades ✊🏽
