Great to be at this interfaith Hannukah event this evening bringing Jews, Muslims, Christians & other faiths together in solidarity with all those affected by the attack in Bondi. Those who seek to divide us will only succeed if we let them.

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law. This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them. Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers: ➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours

Proud that the Employment Rights Bill has now passed the Commons AND the Lords. The biggest boost to rights at work in a generation. A historic achievement for this Labour Government🌹

Loneliness, relationships, work, money, mental health. Talking can make even the biggest problems feel smaller. If you’re struggling and need to talk to someone this Christmas, @samaritans are here 24/7 on 116 123.

Trump has been responsible, maybe more than anybody on Earth, for the toxic poison oozing through humanity these days. Only a man who is thoroughly evil would compose and then post a rant that celebrates the deaths of other human beings.

He's a sick, sick man, the president. There's no debate about that. One of the worst people, not just politicians or presidents, of our lifetimes.
How President Trump reacted to the brutal murder of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner vs How Rob Reiner reacted to the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk.

Violence and threats against probation staff are rising, yet meaningful safety improvements remain stalled. Napo is calling for urgent action, real protections and an end to the slow, inconsistent approach that is putting staff at risk. https://t.co/d83Yq86nd2

Violent incidents in Preston and Oxford have exposed deep failures in probation staff safety. Napo is demanding urgent, concrete protections for the workforce.

My thoughts and condolences - along with the rest of London - are with everyone affected by the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia today. The Met Police are increasing their visibility in our Jewish communities ahead of any Chanukah events.

Hanukkah is a Festival of Light. It celebrates a miracle where a single jar of oil kept a menorah lit for eight days. Thought I'd just say that on this bleak day.

8 million people in this country don't get sick pay from day one. The Employment Rights Bill will bring in that right. @nowak_paul on #Newsnight

The Government's Child Poverty Strategy begins to turn the tide on child poverty. As a result, child poverty rates will fall next year – the first time in nine years (outside the pandemic). But other child poverty headwinds remain. Read our full statement 👇

Netflix quietly filmed a final interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, to be released only after her death. In it, she jokes about blasting Trump and Elon Musk into space… then leaves the world with two words: “Don’t lose hope.” A legendary sign-off.

The @HouseofCommons has been destroyed twice, first by the Great Fire in 1834 and again during the Blitz in 1941. Each time, it was rebuilt and our democratic values renewed. It's a reminder that democracy is fragile. We must do all we can to protect it. #UKParliamentWeek

My brothers and I relied on free school meals growing up. Proud that City Hall has now funded 100 million of them for London’s state primary school children ♥️
