To understand British public opinion - fairness, decency and respect for the rules are the trio to start with. Most have no time for sneering, rudeness. So this is a good eg of the online right mistakenly assuming they’re channeling public opinion, but couldn’t be further from it
'What do you think are British values?' @StevenEdginton finds out from South London locals what it means to be British.
I welcome the Prime Minister’s statement this evening on the situation in Gaza. The humanitarian situation there is completely intolerable and the impact on the Gazan population indefensible. It is high time that the Israeli government changed course. The world is watching.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
💷 Borrowing costs are rising. 📈Labour’s defence, energy and infrastructure investment may well help spur growth...but the Chancellor will need more immediate action to unleash growth. ❓How? @joejervis89 + @HughGoulbourne share their big idea: labourlist.org/2025/07/commen…
📣 NEW for @LabourList - @joejervis89 & @HughGoulbourne: "Rachel Reeves has an opportunity to leverage the Small Business Strategy, recognising 5m small&medium businesses as the true engine of our economy. "Growth from the bottom up and middle out." labourlist.org/2025/07/commen…

We’re pleased to welcome a report from Renaissance & Progressive Britain urging Govt support for local businesses including community energy co-ops. Co-authored by @HughGoulbourne & @joejervis89, it calls for a BIG Unit to unlock finance & empower SMEs. labour-renaissance.org.uk/levelling-the-…
The Ashes starting in the second half of July and running through the school holidays and on Channel 4 so a wide audience could watch it. Thankfully ECB saw sense putting Tests behind a paywall to reduce the audience by 75% and then made sure it was over before the school hols.
20 years ago today the iconic 2005 Ashes began. This week across @BBCSport we’ll be marking the anniversary. “How to win the Ashes” @BBCiPlayer & @BBCOne 2310 tonight. And DON’T miss “Settling the Score” from Wednesday where we set the drama of 2005 to Music! #bbccricket
Pleased to be able to publish this report with @HughGoulbourne @Lab_Renaissance & @progbrit. It has been a pleasure to hear from so many small-and-medium businesses, who are keen to support the Goverment's growth mission with the right support. labour-renaissance.org.uk/levelling-the-…
*NEW TODAY* The Chancellor needs growth. To do this, she needs to ‘Think BIG’. Our new report sets out how the Small Business Strategy can help businesses grow the economy ‘from the ground-up & middle-out.’ Read it here: labour-renaissance.org.uk/levelling-the-… THREAD ⬇️
These attacks on @WHO are intolerable and are further crippling the health response in Gaza. Medics working in conditions that could scarcely be imagined in our worst nightmares must not be targets. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.
.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse. Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were…
Netanyahu has overseen slaughter in Gaza, the decimation of the reputation of Israel and the radicalisation of a new generation of terrorists. I hope more pro Israel voices will see what a disaster he has been not just for Israel but the wider world thetimes.com/article/9f7308…
'We are calling for a revolution in the sector. Tinkering around at the edges isn't going to be enough,' Flooding Minister Emma Hardy MP tells Sky News as an industry review recommends abolishing Ofwat and introducing compulsory water meters. trib.al/KMSzNPk

Well this is awkward …
We must protect those brave Afghans who helped us and their families by settling them in the UK. Simple. No ifs no buts.
↘️ @Ipsos polling finds public support for resident doctor strikes has collapsed. Strikes will only harm the progress that's been made to turn the NHS around. Our message is clear: let’s keep working together to rebuild our NHS.
Whereas working class people in Birmingham are sick to death of Unite abandoning the working class, as they wade their way through rubbish and rats to get their kids to school.
Sharon Graham told Sky News that workers are sick of the Labour party abandoning working class communities, following Angela Rayner's suspension from Unite. trib.al/ouFmbUc
This is the difference a Labour government makes 👇
The A66 dualling is finally going ahead! After years of campaigning, this long-overdue upgrade is happening. It means safer, faster journeys and a big step forward for North Yorkshire and the North. We stuck with it. And now it’s getting done.
No one going through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss should have to go back to work before they are ready. We're extending bereavement leave to cover parents who experience a miscarriage at any stage, not just after 24 weeks. It’s the right thing to do.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
