Great to be out campaigning for Andy Burnham in Makerfield today. Totally clear it’s going to be Andy or Reform who wins here. Let’s get Andy into Parliament and show Farage that his reheated Thatcherism isn’t the change working people are crying out for.

Using repressive measures to target protesters must be condemned by all those who believe in basic democratic principles. We must defend the use of civil disobedience to oppose issues such as climate change and the genocide in Gaza.

A majority of Brits oppose US military action in Iran. We cannot rely on Trump’s word that a peace deal is imminent. The UK must be urgently calling for a ceasefire. History shows that waging war on the Middle East only ends in disaster.

BREAKING 🚨: We're outside the Foreign Office in Westminster to demand the UK Government reject Rosebank. Approving this enormous oil field would be morally indefensible, and could violate the UK’s legal obligations under international law.

Amid Trump's war on Iran, the cost of living crisis is set to soar. Slashing fuel duty and VAT doesn't go far enough. To ease this crisis for struggling Britons, the Government must introduce price controls on everyday items and bring energy into public ownership.

👏👏👏 Palantir is a Trump-aligned tech firm complicit in war crimes in Gaza and mass deportations in the US. It should be not used in our public services. Sadiq Khan made the right decision.

Alongside equalising capital gains & income, a 2% levy on individuals with assets worth over £10m would raise over £40bn a year. We’ve been calling for wealth taxes for a while. They are not only urgent and necessary, but also overwhelmingly popular with the British public.

Privatisation has been a complete failure. It’s time to bring all key utilities into public ownership.

Today marks 50 years since the UK ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. These rights shape our everyday lives. But 50 years later, these rights still are not fully protected in UK law. Illustrations by: Edith Ault

Labour wins when it stands up for working class communities. That means fighting for secure jobs, more social housing, properly funded public services and a Government willing to take on the profiteers. That's what real Labour values look like. 🌹

A reminder of policies that are popular with voters: 💰 wealth taxes 🏠 public ownership of energy, water, rail & mail 📈 increased investment in our public services 🍽️ universal free school meals We need a real Labour alternative. 🌹

These 10 trade unions are absolutely right. Approving Rosebank would be hugely detrimental to the fight against climate change. Labour must reject it.

Labour’s NEC must allow Andy Burnham to stand in Makerfield.

78 years ago, over 750,000 Palestinians were forced to flee their homes during the Nakba. Today, they continue to face genocide and settler violence under Israeli apartheid. We must continue to call for the UK to cut ties, impose sanctions and ban all arms to Israel.

The future of the Labour Party is at stake. Wes Streeting is right to call for a genuinely open and democratic leadership contest featuring a full range of candidates and a real choice over Labour’s future. 🧵

The cost-of-living crisis is what this King’s Speech should have confronted far more directly. Labour will only rebuild support if people can see their lives materially improving. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/king...

From adopting the New Deal for Working People in full to calling out the genocide in Gaza, we’re backing #Socialism26. Labour must fight for real change. Agree? Support the campaign below: socialism26.co.uk

🚨 NEW DEADLINE: Apply for Momentum’s Leo Panitch Leadership Programme! If you want to build organising skills and political education alongside activists from across the country, then please apply. ✊ Deadline: Monday 25 May, 23:59 leopanitchlp.com

If Starmer resigns there must be an open and democratic leadership contest, not a coronation. MPs must ensure members can choose from a full range of candidates.

Labour has a proud history in local government - it must not take it for granted. That's why we're backing Jamie Green for Local Government Rep on Labour's NEC. Jamie will champion all Labour councillors and will call for the Party to reconnect with its roots.

It is clear the PM does not have a credible plan. He must now set out a timetable for departure. But the process to replace him cannot be a coronation. Our next leader must be chosen in a real democratic contest. Otherwise we risk ending up right back where we started.

🚨 Labour must change course - and fast! It's essential socialists rally together to rebuild the Party as a driving force for change and save it from oblivion. Join our movement and help shape Labour's future. 🌹 mtm.is/join

After Starmer’s electoral catastrophe we now more than ever need to turn our attention to Nigel Farage. The clock is ticking & we have got until 2029. Listen to writer David Renton consider how we Stop Nigel Farage and the Far Right? youtu.be/5pl_yzo90c8

Labour can no longer afford to sideline the views of its members and trade unions.

These are terrible results for Labour. Read our full statement below 🔽

‼️All to London‼️ #Nakba78 March for Palestine and against the far right 🗓️ Saturday 16 May ⏰ Noon 📍 Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2DB 🚍 Book your transport: www.stopwar.org.uk/events/nakba...

This is the result of a system that prioritises profit over the living standards of ordinary people. The Labour Government could go further by bringing energy companies into public ownership. Instead the burden falls on all of us.

Across the country, Reform-led councils have been closing public care homes and scaling back climate commitments. They cannot be trusted.

Banks are rolling in money, while 14 million UK households live with food insecurity. If this Labour Government really stood on the side of everyday people, it would increase the windfall tax on banks.

Today marks 100 years since the start of the General Strike. Labour must stand with workers today and everyday: backing unions, defending the right to protest and fighting for fair pay & secure jobs. That's what real solidarity looks like.

The need for public ownership is stronger than ever. The need for more council homes is stronger than ever. The need for a tax on extreme wealth is stronger than ever. It’s time Labour offered a real alternative to fix a struggling Britain. 🌹

Today, the Renters' Rights Bill comes into effect. It’s a welcome step, but a Labour Government must go further by: ✅ building more council homes ✅ abolishing Right to Buy ✅ introducing rent controls

The Government is still defending its decision to proscribe Palestine Action. 7 in 10 Labour members disagree. It should never be a criminal offence to protest against genocide.

Nigel Farage taking donations from billionaires is more proof that he does not represent the working class. Here's what he actually stands for: ❌ cutting taxes on wealth ❌ reinstating the two-child cap ❌ scrapping the Equality Act ❌ more oil and gas drilling

Politicians want us to prepare for wars. How resilient is the NHS? 6.11m people awaiting 7.22m hospital appointments in England. 300,000 a year die prematurely awaiting a hospital appointment. Covid killed over 232,000. 16.8m people have a disability. We need war on poverty and exploitation.

Our movement is rooted in trade unionism, solidarity, democracy and social justice. But these values have been increasingly sidelined.” @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social is absolutely right. Read her latest piece below.

Keir Starmer should have referred himself to the Privileges Committee. Instead he used today’s vote to score political points. Solidarity with the Labour MPs who took a stand, even when under pressure from their own Party.

Today we remember those workers who have lost their lives doing their job. Our rights in work are not inevitable, they are fragile and have been hard won by our labour and trade union movement.

On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember those who lost their lives at work. Solidarity with trade unionists across the globe fighting for safer, more secure workplaces.

Israel is still limiting essential shipments from entering Gaza. We must call this out for what it is: the continuation of genocide. The Government must condemn this through actions not words, starting with a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel.

History will judge the Government’s acquiescence to Israel and its complete failure to uphold international law. The UK must end all complicity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How Do We Stop Farage and the Far Right? The David Renton interview After the massive Together March in London, on 28th March 2026, it is  exactly the right moment for the Labour Left Podcast, introduced here by Bryn Griffiths, to interview David Renton and take a deep dive into the far right.…

The fact Mandelson was appointed in the first place shows the moral bankruptcy at the heart of this Government. This ongoing scandal shows that the culture at the top of the Labour Party needs to change - and fast.

The UN has said that the billions spent on the war on Iran could have saved up to 87 million lives worldwide. Taking money from public services and aid to fund weapons only makes us less safe. The UK must genuinely condemn the US and Israel's reckless and illegal war.

"At a time when public trust in political institutions is already fragile, the government’s decision to weaken one of the few tools people have to hold power to account is profoundly irresponsible." Absolutely right @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social. Read her latest for article Tribune below.

The right to protest is a basic civil liberty - and must be treated as such. Good to see several Labour MPs sign @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social's motion urging the Government to defend our democratic freedoms, not curtail them.
