It will bewilder & disappoint Labour MPs & members the Chancellor is attacking disabled people again. Nothing seems to have been learnt from the debacle over the disability cuts fiasco. Motability was a great Labour achievement by PM Jim Callaghan in 1978.

If the Labour leadership continues with its failed approach, it'll hand the keys to Number 10 straight to Nigel Farage. At the coming budget, Labour must take bold action on the number one issue people face - the cost of living crisis. My new article👇 https://t.co/GgrFr2jBZf

Right on schedule, a financial crisis created by banks and unregulated NBFIs is beginning to emerge with the potential to threaten the world economy whilst leading politicians focus on spy stories and football matches.

I spoke to the @RMT demonstration at Parliament today drawing attention to changes imposed by the government to the skilled worker visa rules, which are resulting in thousands of workers losing their jobs in London Transport, the NHS, Social Care, Prison services.

Whilst welcoming the release of the Israeli hostages & the Palestinian detainees & prisoners I raised with the Prime Minister our concerns that 2 senior Palestinian doctors, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya & Dr Marwan Al Hams have not been released. Government is raising with Israel.

This is just one of a number of reviews of Paul Holden’s book, which highlight a series of allegations about the behaviour of senior members of the Labour Party. Keir Starmer should invite Martin Forde KC back to investigate the implications of the Holden report for the Party.

So pleased the political role played by Iain Coleman is so well described by Julia in this obituary. In toughest of times Iain stood in support of the Irish cause & his call for free personal social care was translated into a manifesto commitment in 2019.

Hugh Dalton, Attlee’s Chancellor, was the driving force behind setting up network of National Parks & forests. No Labour Chancellor should put at risk this Labour heritage, especially when developers are sitting on 100s of thousands of planning permissions

We share the huge relief expressed across Palestine this morning that a ceasefire, however tenuous, might now take effect. Israel’s bombing campaign had not stopped in the past few days as talks were underway, and the casualty numbers have continued to mount.
