Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Zack Polanski, "We have huge intergenerational injustice"

"So we shouldn't be pitting young people against the businesses employing them"

"A wealth tax on assets would raise Β£12-15 billion"

"We also need to bring capital gains tax in line with income tax"

What a day! HUNDREDS of members were out yesterday to make sure the brilliant Hannah Spencer gets elected in Gorton and Denton. πŸ’š

It's clear that the choice here is between Reform and the Greens. We have 25 days to prove that hope can win. Action days are super fun, join us at our next one!

Dear Home Secretary,
 
We write as Parliamentarians who either originally opposed the proscription of Palestine Action or who have come to see it as wrong and unworkable.  Today’s decision by the high court vindicates our position and we welcome the ruling.
 
The Home Office’s position has put enormous pressure on the courts and the police.
 
We understand that 2787 people have been arrested for terrorism offences for peacefully holding signs that express their support for Palestine Action, including more than 250 on 9thAugust of last year who are aged over 60 years old. And one outcome of the proscription of Palestine Action is that more people were arrested for terrorist offences in just one day than have ever previously been arrested under terror legislation in an entire year in the UK (REF).
  
Proscribing Palestine Action has also had grave consequences for fundamental human rights and our international reputation.
 
Mr Justice Chamberlain granted permission for a judicial review of proscription on the grounds that included it being contrary to the Human Rights Act 1998 and amounts to a disproportionate interference with Articles 10 and 11 on the rights to freedom of expression and the right to freedom of assembly).  And you will know that Volker Turk, the United Nations' human rights chief, called the proscription β€œdisproportionate and unnecessary”, warning that a broad definition of terrorism, that encompasses serious damage to property, places the UK outside international law. (REF).
 
A cross-party submission to the High Court, which many of us signed, warned that β€œproscription risks becoming a blunt tool to silence dissent and criminalise legitimate protest and democratic debateβ€”particularly where it relates to British complicity in atrocities committed by the Israeli government and the broader struggle for Palestinian human rights.”
 
Today’s verdict is an opportunity to change course, and we hope you will now commit to ending the suppression of UK citize…

Together with cross-party Parliamentarians I have written to the Home Secretary calling on her to accept today's ruling on Palestine Action.

Instead of criminalising those protesting genocide, the govt must examine its own complicity and work to support justice for Palestinians.

I have tabled a motion in parliament, calling on Buckingham Palace to publish all communication which references the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Statements of support for victims of Epstein’s abuse are insufficient if crucial information is still covered up.

I joined MPs from across parties in writing to the Pensions Minister, urging the Government to reconsider its decision on compensation for women born in the 1950s. The Ombudsman found clear injustice. An apology is not enough. Those affected deserve fair redress.

In Bristol today we said:
No to racism.
No to anti-migrant hate.
No to anti-Muslim hate.
No to anti-Jewish hate.
No to any and every form of hate that's directed at people whether it's to do with where they come from, the god they worship, or the colour of their skin.

We stand up for one another.

Farmers are on the front lines of the climate crisis, with extreme weather leading to record losses in 2025.

The govt must take urgent steps to invest in tackling climate breakdown now, including targeted support for farmers to move to more climate-resilient methods.

Facial recognition to be expanded in fresh crime crackdown Critics called on the government to limit roll-out of facial recognition, but others have urged ministers to accelerate the expansion to β€˜boost safety’

Facial recognition, scrapping juries, and mandatory digital ID.

This Labour Government is creating a toolkit for the far-right.

The EU has already put strong controls on this intrusive technology, MPs must pass legislation to do the same.
