Jewish Labour Movement

Mike has been a rock at the heart of @JewishLabour for over a decade. Our loss is the Lords’ gain. In the interim, I’m honoured to be stepping up as our Chair. JLM is a special organisation, one with over 100 years of history. I’m proud to be a small part of that.

It's been such an honour to lead JLM's resilient and inspirational activists & members. Now I'm a member of the Govt, it's only right I step down as chair. I'll be forever proud of how JLM stood up to antisemitism in Labour, helping to save the Party and making it fit to govern.

Today, we mark Yom Hashoah in remembrance of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. Together we will fight the poison of antisemitism and hatred wherever it is found, to ensure that never again means what it says: never again. thejc.com/opinion/starme…

Yesterday afternoon Labour’s affiliated Socialist Societies had the privilege of visiting 10 Downing Street. Labour in power, under our Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is delivering on our promises and creating growth. Huge thanks to @mrs_creynolds.

Mike Katz has served as our Chair since 2019. We are incredibly grateful for his dedicated service and leadership of JLM. We look forward to continuing to cheer @mikekatz on in his new roles. Congratulations to @ellarachelrose who has stepped up to serve as our Interim Chair.

LFI welcomes the government’s decision to impose sanctions on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Their agenda is antithetical to the values of equality and democracy set out in Israel’s Declaration of Independence. Read our full statement ⬇️

We wholeheartedly support the UK gov decision to sanction these extremist ministers. Last year hundreds of British Jews & Israelis in the UK wrote to the British PM calling for Ben Gvir & Smotrich to be sanctioned. Our full statement is below: yachad.org.uk/statement-on-u…

Jewish Labour Movement wishes you a Happy Shavuot - Chag Sameach!

The strength of the families of hostages still held in Gaza is remarkable in the face of unimaginable suffering. I’m deeply moved by their courage and hope. I’m grateful to Amanda and Dalia for their time today. The UK continues to call for the immediate release of all hostages.

I thoroughly condemn the antisemitic attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. Antisemitism is an evil we must stamp out wherever it appears. My thoughts are with their colleagues, family and loved ones, and, as always, I stand in solidarity with the Jewish…

I’m horrified by the killing of two Israeli diplomats in Washington in an appalling antisemitic attack. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones.

Horrified by the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff in DC. We condemn this appalling, antisemitic crime. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and colleagues at this awful time.

Rupert Lowe’s antisemitic remark is completely unacceptable. There should be no place for his language anywhere, let alone in politics. Mr. Lowe’s constituents deserve much better than this. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Polls close at 10pm tonight in Whetstone! The Jewish Labour Movement is out in force speaking to residents in support Labour candidate Ezra Cohen and our Vice Chair Cllr @ellarachelrose. Vote Labour today!

We are sickened by comments from a recently elected Reform Party councillor. The comments - which are offensive to Jewish, Muslim and transgender communities - are unacceptable from anyone, let alone a council leader. Will @reformparty_uk act? thetimes.com/article/5acf2d…
