Parents shouldnât be out of pocket by setting their children up for school. Thatâs why we are rolling out free breakfast clubs and from next September, schools will be required to limit branded items of uniform. Saving families ÂŁ500 and giving kids the best start in life.

Wishing Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across Britain a joyful and peaceful Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas. Earlier this month I lit a diya in Mumbai as a symbol of devotion, joy, and renewed bonds. As we celebrate this Festival of Lights, letâs keep building a Britain where everyone

I share the deep feeling of relief as hostages are released today. It is now crucial that we work together to implement President Trumpâs peace plan for Gaza.

We all lose out if we surrender our flag to the far right. Our flags must stand for the diversity of our communities. For what itâs worth, Iâd question some of Maskellâs âleft-wingâ values. Sheâs repeatedly opposed abortion rights.
EXCL: Left-wing MP Rachel Maskell said her "stomach churned" when Labour members waved St George's flags during Sir Keir Starmer's conference speech. The suspended Labour MP also described flags being put up in streets as "tatty bits of cloth" that should be taken down. She

âWe know that hate and revenge cannot bring even a momentary relief from the pain.â This is an essential read two years on from the horror of 7 October 2023. We choose to hope for peace, the return of the hostages and a better future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Two years after 7 October, when my community was attacked & my parents taken hostage, I reflected back on that dark day and on where I think we must go next. Compassion has to lead us, not hatred. Written with my parents and my community of Nir Oz in my heart & mind today.

JLM wishes a Sukkot Sameach to those who celebrate. Sukkot begins tonight, 6th October at sunset. This year, Sukkot falls over the second anniversary of October 7th. We will be thinking of all those who lost their lives and the 48 hostages still held in Gaza.
