🌹 "By not tackling the far-right head on, Labour is allowing the hostile anti-migrant rhetoric and narrative that led to the horrifying events of last summer to fester and grow." ✍️ Nathan Phillips on how Labour should take on Farage: labourlist.org/2025/01/wes-...

Nigel Farage sang the Village People hit — and Trump anthem — at the event in Mayfair, where guests had paid up to £25,000 for a ticket Read the full story ⬇️

'Labour won a stunning victory and a landslide majority, but we did so with the support of just one in three voters.' New Labour MPs @andrewranger-mp.bsky.social and @annadixonmp.bsky.social make the case for electoral reform ahead of a debate in the chamber. labourlist.org/2025/01/news...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

That’s what a Labour government is about!

Indeed, UTTERLY DISASTROUS!

🚨 The leader of Oldham council, whose grooming inquiry request sparked current debate, speaks out on it for the first time via LabourList today. She warns "political opportunitists" have made Oldham a far-right target again - when the voices that matter are survivors. labourlist.org/2025/01/groo...

That’s it, roll your sleeves up and come out fighting, it’s the only way to deal with a bully like Musk.

So, the Tory manifesto did not include an inquiry into grooming gangs and the Tories ignored ALL recommendations from the 2022 report, but they attack Starmer for smearing “those concerned” as “far right”. Which he didn’t. They’re just the most repulsive bunch of arseholes. And far right apologists.

Sir Keir Starmer was singled out for praise in the 2022 report. The far right singularly fail to mention this fact.

Let’s hope he means it!

I have full sympathy with the WASPI sisters, but I also know there are other areas requiring critical funding, not just institutions like the NHS, but improving the lives of those living in poverty. Maybe it should be means tested, I don’t know.

Whilst reform of the HoL’s is a Labour objective in the long term, it’s heartening to see Labour appointments of leaders in their field who will voice their opinions in the Lords, indeed they will insist on voice. The best the Tories could do was Toby Young, oh deary me. 🙄

Sad that she had to resign over something that took place 11 years ago and which she declared before she even took up a shadow post. The media wins again.

Good appointment

234 Labour MPs voted for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, with 147 against

MPs have given their backing to Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying bill at its second reading, with 330 MPs voting in favour of the motion after a morning of emotional debate in the House of Commons. labourlist.org/2024/11/news...

The right decision. MPs will now have the opportunity to discuss their concerns about the bill at committee stage and will hopefully amend it so more MPs can support it. Great to see the debate taking place in a respectful manner, wish it was like this all the time.

1/9 Jacking up interest rates to bring down inflation hits people on moderate incomes harder than the better off. Bluntly, it's a ridiculous, outmoded way of trying to bring down prices... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

My heart goes out to the proud people of Ukraine, they have fought so hard, only for a man with no morals to be the one they depend on.

1. Bit cold of Streeting to see this as about ‘investment’ rather than the dignity of death. I have had several tussles with death myself, I lived, but I have beef with Streetings ill informed comments.
