▪️ Lift the puberty blockers ban ▪️ Reject EHRC guidance ▪️ Legislate to ensure single-sex spaces are trans-inclusive by default. Posting this from my speech at the Trans Day of Remembrance vigil, because yet again trans women and girls are being excluded from their spaces.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK. He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen. His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Look at all that empty real estate up front… don’t tell me they couldn’t fit a few USB-A ports in there..........

A full year on the M4 Mac Mini and… yeah, my 30-year streak stands. Windows is still the best OS for work, everyday use, and gaming.

We all desperately want to clear the courts backlog seeing victims withdraw from the criminal justice process. But the backlog was caused by chronic underfunding, not juries. Restricting jury trials would undermine our democracy and right to a fair trial, and may even be a false economy.

Guess what? I am not a robot

When bad bosses can unfairly dismiss workers from day one, workers must be protected from day one. That’s what we promised in our manifesto. A Labour government must not turn its back on the very people we were elected to represent.

Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less. With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

Praise where praise is due: scrapping the two-child benefit cap is an excellent move. And the most consequential of any of the measures announced today.

2.7m workers will benefit when the national minimum wage goes up to £12.71 in April 😍

For the first time in 30 years, rail fares are being frozen by this Labour Government. Passengers using an annual season ticket from #York to Leeds will save £176 next year. #Rail #Transport

R.i.p Scotland

The existence of trans and nonbinary people is something that benefits even cis people. There is no universal experience of being female or being male. No longer gatekeeping who gets to be what frees us all.

Extremely concerned to see mass arrests of peaceful protesters in Nottingham under anti-terror laws. This is why I opposed Palestine Action's proscription. Conflating terrorism and protest will only continue eroding our rights to free speech.

This week is #TransAwarenessWeek. Trans people have the same right to freedom, joy, safety, and healthcare as everyone else. But in the UK and across the world, their rights are under attack. We need to stand up to transphobia and guarantee everyone’s dignity.

Wait, all those rich people lied? “Shocker.”

Solidarity with resident doctors striking in Nottingham and across the country from today. Their pay is 21% lower today in real terms than it was in 2008/9, with a third of doctors planning to leave. A fair settlement is vital to the future of our NHS.

Nigel Farage’s comments show just how out of touch he is with the reality of gambling harms. 🎰 Leaders must take this seriously — which is why I’m calling to scrap the broken ‘aim to permit’ system. We need a system that protects people over profit. 👇🏾 leftfootforward.org/2025/11/nige...

Gordon Brown 'confident' of two-child benefit cap change - as he calls for gambling tax to pay for it

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Due to our policies, we've done it in 9. In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.

Remaining four ‘rebel’ Labour MPs have whip restored

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Not a single member of the Socialist Campaign Group has a position in the Labour Govt But MPs backed by the right-leaning Labour to Win faction are *hugely* represented This is IMO a big part of the issue with PM Starmer's Government. It has a v narrow ideological range. No 10's tent is very small

The housing crisis started with Thatcher and it should end with this Labour government. Launch a mass social housing programme, scrap Right to Buy, and introduce rent controls. A secure home is a human right and the essential foundation for a decent life.

We know a better solution. Invest in publicly owned energy. Now.

It’s disgraceful that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to hold his titles and lives in an effectively taxpayer-subsidised mansion. This raises serious questions about how seriously our institutions take allegations of child sexual abuse.

My heart breaks watching people in Gaza celebrate a possible ceasefire deal, even while Israeli attacks continue. A ceasefire must be reached, and it must hold this time. Our government needs to put real pressure on Israel to ensure this happens. (1/2)

I am shocked and appalled by the arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven, where two people were inside. No community should be terrorised for their faith or in their place of worship. At a time when Islamophobia hits record levels, we need urgent action from the top of government to confront it.

Antisemitism will never be welcome in the campaign for Palestine's freedom. Never. Let. Hate. Win.

Donald Trump is 'racist, sexist and Islamophobic', says Sadiq Khan amid feud with US president

Reform's plan to scrap indefinite leave to remain would mean the mass deportation of our friends, neighbours and colleagues. It would rip the rug out from under people who work , pay taxes, and have built lives and families here. It is a hateful policy, which must be opposed.

🚨 Change course - or face defeat 🚨 Momentum and CLPD are hosting a fringe event in Liverpool next week - and we have a number of exciting speakers lined up. Don't miss it! 📍 Quaker Meeting House, L1 3BT 📅 30 September, 7pm www.eventbrite.com/e/change-cou...

The UK has officially recognized the state of Palestine, Keir Starmer announces.

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

My statement on the formal recognition of the Palestinian state.

While our government must have diplomacy with Trump, we should never roll out the red carpet for him. Trump is a far-right leader who propagates hate, undermines democracy and makes the world a more dangerous place for us all. This unnecessary state visit is just normalising his politics.

It REALLY isn't clear whose party Your Party is. Corbyn and Sultana's camps are in open conflict and using party machinery against each other - before it even has an official name.

What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide.

London mayor Sadiq Khan just called the war on Gaza a "genocide" for the first time

Peter Mandelson can sit as a Labour Lord while my colleagues have lost the whip for opposing disability benefits cuts and the two-child benefit cap. Such draconian, politically-motivated suspensions undermine democracy and make a mockery of our party. They should have the whip restored immediately.

The misogynistic comments about Diane Abbott, the longest serving Black MP, recounted with glee by Paul Ovenden are utterly despicable. The fact that the Party knew about this and swept it under the carpet until it was reported in the press, is unforgivable.

Amid such challenging circumstances, we want to congratulate @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social on her campaign to be Deputy Labour Leader. Bell raised crucial issues facing the Party - and her message remains clear: Labour can't out-Reform Reform, but it can be more Labour.

I'm concerned that we won't get the debate we deserve from this deputy leadership contest. With just hours to go, I urge colleagues to nominate me and ensure the full range of members' views is represented on the ballot paper.

We can't out-Reform Reform. But we can be better at being Labour.

Of course, I will be supporting @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social to be the next Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. Now more than ever, we need democratic socialist voices at the top of the Labour Party to create life-changing policies for Britain.

I am standing to be Deputy Leader because I believe this Labour Government urgently needs to go back to the guiding values of our party and movement, and deliver an ambitious programme of popular, progressive policies.

I'll never have to verify my age on YouTube because my account is over 18 years old

It must take a lot of mental toughness to come out and play as well as Anisimova is right now, considering that the last time they met it resulted in one of the most humiliating defeats in Wimbledon history. She’s a great player and is really showing her skill

Incredible stuff from Anisimova given how her last match vs. Swiatek went.
