Well done Save the Children!
Fixed it for you, @Keir_Starmer. The UK is an ally to Israel's atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank. Now is the time to make our voices heard: Call on the UK Government to end its complicity. Sign our petition: bit.ly/4kXTLJs
In just over 5 hours, more than 80,000 people have signed up to help build a new kind of political party. We believe in democracy — and the establishment are running scared. We’re offering people something very precious: hope. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
In the footsteps of the British Brothers League, Mosley’s fascists, Enoch Powell, the NF… that’s where your ugly hatred of migrants/refugees is taking Labour. Sewer politics. And in September you’ll be bowing down to your favourite American fascist. You are beneath contempt.
We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.
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.
Well said @NaamodUK
We are against the proscription of non-violent direct action groups. It is unacceptable that 21 months into aiding and abetting a genocide, the only people in our country facing legal consequences are those speaking out against it.
1 year ago, we made history in Islington North. We built a people-powered campaign for equality, sustainability and peace. As we look toward the future, just remember: when we come together, we can win.
In November, I expressed my concern that the Assisted Dying Bill could not provide adequate safeguards against abuse and social coercion. I am still not satisfied - and that is why I voted against this legislation.

Thank you for words of wisdom, Ofer.
There is no legitimacy for targeting civilians whatsoever. Not in Tehran nor in Tel Aviv, not in Gaza nor in Sderot, not in Beirut nor in Haifa, not in Damascus nor in Kiryat Shmona. This is in addition to its stupidity and futility. Enough with this madness! There is only one…
Last night, activists in Tel Aviv protested in support of the freedom flotilla and against the gen0cide in G4za. Now, as the Israeli forces hijacked the flotilla, know that we are standing in support of the brave activists on it.
Palestinians are not “facing” starvation. They are being starved to death by Israel. Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity. End the blockade — and stop the genocide.
My EastEndWalks website is updated with walks between now and late June. My next walk - this coming Sunday morning (27 April) is about a tumultuous decade in the East End. It is called "Battleground Brick Lane 1970s". Fee £10/(£7 unwaged) - book here: eastendwalks.com/?page_id=82
On Saturday, 25 Jan. 2025, Israeli soldiers drove into the village of Muthalat a-Shuhada in the northern West bank in civilian vehicles with Palestinian license plates. Soldiers fired at the 'As'us family home, injuring sisters Shaimaa and Taymaa and killing the latter’s…
Yesterday was the anniversary of the incredible Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, that lasted more than 3 weeks. That rising grew out of countless acts of passive resistance in a much longer daily collective struggle for life and hope: jewishsocialist.org.uk/news/item/behi…

Maybe the two Labour MPs refused entry to Israel could go on a fact-finding trip round the Labour government instead, in order to find out how it supports Israel's war effort.
It is unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning that two British MPs on a parliamentary delegation to Israel have been detained and refused entry by the Israeli authorities.
If the NHS didn't exist today, would the Government create it?
In the middle of the massive protests in Tel Aviv tonight, a growing silent wall of people holding photos of Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
Great result to see in the borough where I spent my teenage years!
A huge thank you to everyone who voted #Noor4Mayfield... It's a monumental moment for all our residents
People did not elect a Labour government to push 50,000 more children into poverty. My interview on @BBCNewsnight.
