Tonight the Knesset has voted overwhelmingly to annex the West Bank, a symbolic move that would be illegal under international law, risks further destruction and ethnic cleansing, and serves a death knell for the two state solution. We must recognise the state of Palestine now.
Congratulations on your victory Matt! I look forward to continuing our fight to defend public sector workers ✊🏽
I’m proud to announce that I have been elected the next general secretary of the @NASUWT. We need to win for teachers now, more than ever. Let’s move forward a united, powerful union.

As Chair of the APPG on Miscarriages of Justice, I welcome the long-overdue Orgreave inquiry and pay tribute to campaigners. Today, I asked the Minister to confirm it will be backed by a legal duty of candour – so truth, transparency and justice are finally delivered.
The infected blood scandal was one of the worst cover-ups in UK history. A Hillsborough Law would help end this culture - forcing public officials to tell the truth. It’s time the government recognises its importance to ensure families finally get the justice they truly deserve.
Solidarity with @orgreavejustice who have secured this historic win after a decades-long pursuit for truth and justice. We know from experience that state institutions will continue to duck accountability without a legal duty of candour. My statement on the Orgreave inquiry 👇
Lovely warm evening for a campaign session on the streets of Toxteth with Cllr Farah @toxteth4labour, fellow councillors & members: getting the word out to constituents about all the work Rahima is doing in and for the area.
People who wrote and delivered the Island of Strangers speech, did nothing to address Labour’s ‘hierarchy of racism’ described in the Forde Report, took weeks to condemn last summers riots – have suspended Diane Abbott for describing her experience as a Black woman. Disgraceful.
This is the clip of my interview.

Stand in full solidarity with my suspended colleagues. Speaking up for your constituents & following your conscience isn’t “insurrection” – it’s integrity. Silencing principled dissent undermines our movement. We must stand for justice, not punish those who defend it.

David Lammy told the International Development Committee that he is “happy to do more if those requests come in” to support the medical evacuation of Palestinian children. Only two children have received treatment in the UK - more must now be welcomed. middleeasteye.net/news/charity-t…
Since 2010, UK billionaire wealth has doubled, while the working-class have faced wage stagnation. Why should the super-rich live in secrecy while millions struggle to get by? It's time to tax extreme wealth. That’s the real alternative we need. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Through @FCDOGovUK's Women’s Integrated Sexual Health (WISH) programme, @MSIchoices and partners have supported 6.3M women in West and Central Africa and achieved long-term change. This life-saving investment must be protected from ODA cuts. Learn more: ow.ly/egJr50Wp8LR
UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010. Workers’ wages have barely risen since 2008. On Newsnight, I called for a tax on extreme wealth - that's the fairer alternative to cuts we need.
