9years ago today Jo was murdered. I think about her every single day and am lucky to have so many wonderful memories, but the pain never goes. Whatever our views we must never normalise abuse, threats, intimidation and political violence #JoCox #Sisters #MoreInCommon
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
The suffering in Gaza is unacceptable. Violence against civilians seeking humanitarian aid is unacceptable. Attacks near food distribution points are unacceptable. @WFP is calling for an urgent ceasefire to avert a deeper humanitarian catastrophe.

I welcome the appointment of a new Water Ombudsman to help to tackle water company failures and stand up for consumers.
Families have watched their local rivers, coastlines and lakes suffer from record levels of pollution. The Conservatives let it happen. Labour will clean it up.
We’ve launched the Civil Society Covenant - a new partnership between government and civil society. Together, we’ll deliver real change through respect, shared ambition, and collaboration. This is what doing government differently looks like.

52 lives lost and many more changed forever. Thinking of everyone affected by the dreadful 7/7 London bombings 20 years ago❤️
Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 London bombings, which killed 52 people and injured over 770 others. We remember the victims and all affected, and honour the bravery of emergency services, especially BTP officers and staff who worked tirelessly in the aftermath.
Today marks the 77th year of the NHS! 💙 Thank you to all our incredible staff across the NHS for your continued hard work. From clerks to cooks, midwives to nurses, pharmacists to radiographers and many, many more – it’s our people who make us.
On this day 77 years ago, Labour created the NHS. For the first time in UK history, healthcare was free of charge to all who needed it. We will always protect it, so that it can protect you.
