On Yom HaShoah, we honour the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust – humanity’s darkest hour. We all have a duty to tackle the scourge of antisemitism and fight Holocaust denial and distortion wherever it occurs.

Posts like this show why there is no such thing as a “changed” Labour Party. However you vote, I respect your decision. Wes should too.

A win for Susan Hall and the Conservatives is a win for racists, white supremacists and Islamophobes the world over. Susan Hall’s campaign has been fought from the gutter with dangerous and divisive politics. London, we cannot let her win. Vote Sadiq.

Fantastic to see more people surviving cancer in the UK than ever, which is partly down to early diagnosis. We’re backing ground-breaking trials like @prostateUK to improve processes and save thousands more lives.

My vision for social care is rooted in communities - it’s personal, local and accountable. It's not just a vision though. Our reforms are turning it into a reality. Brilliant to speak at @1adass 's event last week about our plan. Read my full speech 👇

Saddened to hear of Frank Field’s passing. I had the honour of working closely with him whilst tackling modern slavery. He was a true gentleman who always acted with dignity, grace and good humour. A great man.
