The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party. It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence. We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it. Never again for everyone.
The report said the increase in green party support suggested "for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns."

There are many contenders for what will be this Labour Government’s Poll Tax but this Bill is going to do so much harm it ought to suffer the same fate. #TakingThePIP

For the first time, the official Judicial Attitudes Survey asked judges about faith. The results show Muslims are three times less likely to serve on the bench — and more likely to face bullying, harassment and discrimination. Read @sajeraj’s piece→hyphenonline.com/2025/05/27/…

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
Screenshot of an amendment to the King's Speech, voted on 23 July 2024. The Amendment is to abolish the two-child benefit cap and is signed by all four Green MPs.

Today was the first day of the Report Stage of the Assisted Dying Bill. I believe the Bill has been strengthened through 90 hours of scrutiny, and I support giving terminally ill people the choice to die with dignity. Hoping for a compassionate debate and successful vote in June.

I have heard from many people in Brighton Pavilion about assisted dying, and their messages and stories have touched me deeply. We must create the best, most compassionate Bill, and this is what I said in today’s serious and detailed debate:

These events remind us of what a farce it is that we have bishops and archbishops voting in the UK Parliament in the first place. No other democracy on Earth appoints religious clerics as of right to vote in their sovereign parliament. Sign here: humanists.uk/action/get-bish… 👈

Get Bishops out of the Lords

Bishops’ automatic seats in the House of Lords are undemocratic and a threat to a tolerant and diverse UK – get them out now! The UK is alone among democratic sovereign states in having clerics vote...

The most awkward, contradictory, and emotionally complex picture of the Lords Spiritual. Perhaps the defining image of the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury? Southwark, Lichfield, St Albans, Manchester, <slight gap> Guildford. London <front row>
