A welcome statement from Buckingham Palace that rightly centres concern for the victims and survivors of abuse.

🌍 Olivia Blake MP: “I'm proud to launch the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus. History tells us when the UK faces an existential challenge, we act—together. Today, the challenge is planetary, but the principle is the same: shared action for the common good.” 🔗 labourlist.org/2025/10/clim...

@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC. “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…” So good!! 🔥

Enjoyed meeting members & campaigning in Blantyre in Scotland with the brilliant @monicalennon.bsky.social. Those I spoke to had a clear sense of how things need to change. 95 year old Helen, who first campaigned for Labour aged 10, should be made an adviser - she’d tell it how it is!

An inspiring day in Blantyre hosting Lucy Powell MP. Our members and supporters had thoughtful and passionate questions about the future we want to build. Lucy clearly has her finger on the pulse of our communities; as Deputy Leader she’ll be a crucial constructive bridge to the Labour leadership.

The two child benefit cap is a ticking time bomb on child poverty. Each year another 40,000 children are pushed into poverty by it. We need to act urgently to transform lives and change these statistics. That’s what Labour governments do. Today's Times👇🏻 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Climate change was responsible for an estimated 16,500 additional deaths in Europe this summer. Strong leadership and urgent action are necessary with experts advising deaths are "preventable” if countries continue to reduce their emissions and combat climate change. www.politico.eu/article/thou...

My column in today’s Sunday Mail on the horrors in Gaza and why we need the freedom of speech to hold truth to power; whether on genocide, climate crisis or other defining issues of our times. Young people are rightly getting votes at 16 for every election but their voices must not be silenced.
