The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

A recent poll of over 7000 people & many focus groups confirmed that 74% of Britons feel climate change is important or very important. Another poll this year found that just 4% of Britons deny climate change. People remain ahead of our cowardly politicians buckling to Farage, Reform UK & Junk Tanks

I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.
The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.
Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.

It's 10 years since the Paris climate agreement.
Before Paris, the world was heading for 4 degrees of warming; it’s now headed for 2.5 degrees. We must continue this progress to limit heating and reduce its impacts.
Every fraction of a degree matters for the future of humanity.

Young people, our economy and society are robbed of the learning and skills universities offer- whilst graduates face average debt of £53,000.
