Interesting story here for Tower Hamlets folks. Given recent events, it would be no surprise if ministers want a update whether there is any real progress towards fixing the serious governance failings in the Town Hall under Mayor Rahman + his Aspire cllrs

“Leaving no stone unturned must now mean to genuinely build, baby, build.” @HanadDarwish nails it — Labour’s housing promise needs real delivery: keys in doors, SMEs thriving, and planning unblocked. https://t.co/PAL9Xw4T45

New Yorkers faced a clear choice - between hope and fear - and just like we've seen in London - hope won. Huge congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on his historic campaign.

Sarah Pochin’s comments were a disgrace. And Nigel Farage’s silence is deafening.

The golden rule is that the Conservatives always want to pretend their period in government never happened. Government debt more than doubled from £1 trillion to over £2.5 trillion during their time in office (70 to 95% gdp).

From one of the Theresa May SpAds who gave us the infamous “Go Home” vans, now comes the good vs bad migrant spiel. “Not every culture is equal” - tells you everything about the depressing depths the Tories have sunk to, dressing up dog-whistle politics as policy debate.

The UK needs to update its outdated approach to Somaliland. The existing coalition government era policy has meant that we have fallen behind the curve on a vital issue in a critical part of the world. @alunmichael and I have written to the Foreign Secretary to that extent 👇🏾

Yesterday @KemiBadenoch said she would not allow "anyone on the right to tell them [people of colour] that they do not belong in their own country." Will she now stand up to Robert Jenrick? https://t.co/fmsZ9nbt7A

Another attack on a place of worship. This time a mosque. My heart goes out to Muslim friends worried by this attack. We must take a stand against hatred. Those who ferment division don’t get to succeed. Our faiths and values unite us.

I've just turned my phone on after Yom Kippur, when like many British Jews I go out of digital contact. I've just felt a visceral shock of such terrible news. My thoughts and prayers with all affected in Manchester. We cannot allow division and hatred to rule. I'm proudly

I’m horrified by the violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester. I have been in contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Home Secretary, and would like to reassure Londoners that the Met Police are stepping up patrols in Jewish communities and synagogues across

Telling the great British people they were “taking back control,” given your vast experience in Brussels and Strasbourg, was devious! Dublin wasn’t perfect, but the small boats stats don’t lie… 2018-20 (with Dublin) - 10,608 2021-24 (post-Dublin) - 140,553

This is very positive news. Over the past year have worked extensively with Lord Banner on the challenges stopping Britain from building. He is one of the best in the business and @Keir_Starmer is absolutely right to bring him in.

Dangerous and irresponsible. This man is a snake oil salesman and it’s time people stopped buying.

2 weeks ago a man was killed for his political beliefs and we all (Trump included) said we need to be more careful with our language. Today Trump falsely said Sadiq Khan wants sharia law in London, effectively painting a target on his back for extremists. So irresponsible.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

LFPME’s statement on the UK Government’s formal recognition of the State of Palestine ⬇️ /🧵 [1/7]

Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine.

Nigel Farage collecting the failed 2010-2024 Tories like a Panini sticker album. Just needs a shiny Boris Johnson to complete the 2019 season. #GotGotNeed
