@WelshLabour HOLD Llanrumney!! Huge congrats to our brill candidate, Lexi Pocknell. It's a massive blow to Reform (and to Plaid candidly). If current polls were accurate, they should be sweeping us aside - NOT TODAY NIGEL, not in Cardiff! Lab 755 Ref 630 LD 281 Grn 47 Plaid 138
👂New: I hear from one source at least that Labour’s NEC approved the rule changes just now - other than on the NPF and CAC, which have been deferred to September for more consultation.
🌹🗳️NEW: Labour could vote on an array of party rule changes at its annual conference in Liverpool in September, we can reveal. Proposals include scrapping ‘one member one vote’ system for electing member reps to NPF policy-making body. By @tom_belger labourlist.org/2025/07/labour…
It is abhorrent that the Palestinian people are being collectively punished by the Israeli Government for the terrorism of Hamas and are being made to starve. The UK must recognise Palestinian statehood & get aid in immediately and the remaining hostages released without delay.
A *third* of the Commons has called on the PM to recognise Palestine as a state. Never seen anything quite like this.
221 MPs, from 9 parties, have sent a joint letter to the Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary urging them to recognise Palestine as a state now
Today marks Paddy Lillis's last day as Usdaw General Secretary as he looks forward to his retirement. "It’s hard to believe that my last day at Usdaw has arrived,” said Paddy. “Representing our members has been a true privilege, and I am very grateful to have had the…
🚨 NEW: Zarah Sultana is considering standing against Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood in Birmingham at the next election [@breeallegretti]
EXCL: MPs are planning to publish a mass cross-party letter this afternoon demanding Keir Starmer recognize a Palestinian state. It is led by Development Committee Chair Sarah Champion and should be more extensive than a letter by 59 Labour MPs two weeks ago. More in Playbook
Well, if you continually support cutting the BBC then I’m shocked you’re shocked that eventually something you value will be cut.
Very disappointed by Politics Live’s decision not to go to Party Conferences. Conferences are an essential part of the political process in the UK and a chance to engage with members and volunteers (and not just MPs) as well as getting the ‘mood’. I hope they think again.
France will recognise the state of Palestine 🇫🇷🇵🇸 UK plans to do the same as part of a peace process, but with western allies and “at the point of maximum impact”, whenever that may be. Earlier this week, one cabinet minister asked me: “If not now, then when?”
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
Lots of people asking if I’m going to join the new political party of Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. Here’s my response: I’m staying put. Not because it’s easy - but because now more than ever, we need progressive voices in the Labour Party and this government. The…
Clive Lewis says he won't be leaving Labour to join Jeremy Corbyn's new party. He says: "I’m staying put. Not because it’s easy - but because now more than ever, we need progressive voices in the Labour Party and this government. The U-turn on PIP cuts and the role progressive…
An update from me & @siennamarla: As well as Politics Live, Newsnight also will not be broadcasting directly from the party conferences this year. Of the BBC's flagship political programmes, only Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg will do so
w/@siennamarla: The BBC doesn't plan to send Politics Live to party conferences this year, disappointing staff and prompting former culture secretary @JWhittingdale to urge the corporation to think again "The decision... is a further erosion of their political coverage"
Off to a great start on the comms… one Labour source texts: “They literally do it for us.”
It’s not called Your Party!
Off to a flying start - they can’t even agree on what the name is…
Hang on, now Jeremy Corbyn’s team say Your Party is an ‘interim name’. Not the clearest of launches.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan calls for the immediate recognition of Palestine
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
