Unfortunately, I have not secured the high number of nominations required to proceed in the deputy leadership contest. I am disappointed that the full range of Labour members’ views will not be represented on the ballot paper.

Claudia Jones Memorial Lecture 25 🗞️ 22 Oct 7pm Every year the NUJ organises this lecture in honour of the pioneering journalist who founded the UK's first Black newspaper The West Indian Gazette & Afro-Asian Caribbean News. @BellRibeiroAddy Book now:

80+ MPs wrote to the government over recess, urging them to protect British citizens onboard @gbsumudflotilla. We didn't receive a reply. When Israel violently intercepted activists, the government did not condemn this or explain what they were doing to secure their release.

I know it must be exhausting trying to be the top ranked racist on a daily basis - trying to make everything fit your tiny, hateful worldview. But just give it a rest & stop attacking people that have actually represented our country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 positively. @GNev2 🙄

MODERATOR: Are you willing to commit to NOT raise the sales tax? MIKIE SHERRILL: I'm not going to commit to anything right now. On Nov. 4, vote NO on Mikie Sherrill. ❌

Good news that our area will benefit from £704,026 in government funding to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping. This money will help to get rough sleepers off the streets, support children facing homelessness and provide better addiction support.

Turning Gaza into a colonial protectorate is not a basis for lasting peace, let alone justice. This has no mandate, no legitimacy and no popular support from the people living there. The Palestinian people must decide their own future; not Netanyahu, Trump or Blair.

The government’s new visa rules risk an exodus of international nursing staff from our already stretched NHS, as @theRCN highlights here. Instead of pandering to Reform, we need an immigration policy that is fair and reflects our country’s actual needs. https://t.co/wSpApcWJEO

The racism we continue to face is inseparable from our country's history of enslavement and colonisation. Looking forwards to joining @appg_ar for their third annual UK Reparations Conference 2025 next Saturday. Register now 👇🏾 https://t.co/K7LDZ0qAHw

After two years of unimaginable horror and suffering, today's ceasefire and the release of captives is a huge relief. Western governments must now work to ensure this is not just a temporary reprieve. Israel must not be permitted to resume its genocidal assault on Gaza.

Claudia Jones Memorial Lecture 2025 🗞️ 22 Oct, 7 pm This year's lecture will be delivered by @BellRibeiroAddy on 'Learning from Claudia Jones in the fight against the rise of the far-right', focusing on countering the rise of racism and fascism. Book:

"Imagine what they are willing to do to Palestinians if they're willing to do that to us." British-Palestinian journalist Kieran Andrieu tells @SkyYaldaHakim his experience being detained by Israeli authorities aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. https://t.co/VIHyTycgur

Wishing the Jewish community a happy and meaningful Sukkot from all of us here at the Labour Party.

Horrible to hear news of the arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven over the weekend - sadly not the first time it had been targeted. We must unite against hatred, terror and racism in all their forms. Nobody should fear violence at their place of worship.

People are turning out in numbers week after week to protest Britain's complicity in the Gaza genocide. No amount of anti-protest laws will change this. Instead of trying to silence protesters, the government should be taking action to try and stop the genocide.

“Israel treated us terribly. It denied people essential medicine. One night, yesterday night, we were shouting that someone was possibly having a heart attack. They didn’t come. They didn’t care. They gave us food that was infested with insects. They subjected some people to

89 years ago today, the British Union of Fascists led by Oswald Mosely tried to march through the largely Jewish East End of London. They were marched off by as many as 20,000 people of Jewish, Irish and working-class backgrounds in what became known as ‘The Battle of Cable

Ministers appear to be considering further welfare cuts that could deprive hundreds of thousands of disabled people of the support they rely on to live. They should remember how their last attempt to balance the books in this way went. https://t.co/dJMsqvDPX6
