We wrote to @Keir_Starmer to express “profound concerns” about the disability benefit cuts and thank the 160+ MPs who have signed the reasoned amendment. Minor concessions won’t cut it. @UKLabour must stop, properly consult with disabled people, and re-think. #TakingThePIP

Yesterday we revealed that neo-Nazis are behind the anti-refugee protests in #Epping. Today we’re proud to announce that our demonstration is supported by local @NEUnion branches, local @The_TUC and Muslim Voices. We’re standing together against the far right. Be there.

In Poplar and Limehouse, we are clear: refugees are welcome here. In the face of relentless demonisation and targeting, we continue to stand with migrants for their rights to safety and dignity. It’s the far-right and their hateful ideology that are not welcome here.

The suspension of four Labour MPs is outrageous and authoritarian. Our response:

Well said. The Labour government must stand by Labour values of social justice - not penalise MPs for doing so. Full support to these MPs from the SHA, Labour’s health affiliate. Hope to see them at Tolpuddle @TolpuddleFest
