This week, I'm leading a Parliamentary debate on banning MPs' second jobs. Nigel Farage has already taken over £1 Million from second jobs since becoming an MP. I've invited him to attend the debate to explain why MPs should be allowed to rake in vast sums from second jobs.

This extreme weather of the past week isn't a one-off. It's part of a dangerous new norm. The oil and gas companies fuelling the climate crisis - and driving up your energy bills - shouldn't be funding our politics. I've tabled an Amendment to ban oil and gas donations to political parties.

A change of Labour leadership is needed but that alone will not be enough. Labour needs a fundamental change of direction with policies so it's again on the side of ordinary people. Read our key policies for the next Labour leader in Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/06/the-...

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs. Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election. Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

Nigel Farage today said “no one cares” about the £5 MILLION “gift” he received from a billionaire. Do people really believe billionaires gift vast sums without expecting something back? Some clips of Farage’s interview defending it here. See more of it in the post below.

I was told on the record in Parliament that the Government was "pursuing" the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event. Given evidence that properties in illegal Israeli settlements were marketed there, I've now asked the Government what discussions it's had with the police about this.

Fossil fuel giants have forced up our bills and driven us to the cliff edge of climate disaster. It's time to end the huge influence they have over our politics. As part of my campaign to clean up politics, I've brought an Amendment to ban parties from taking oil and gas money.

Nigel Farage has cut right back on press events since the £5 million "gift" from a crypto billionaire was exposed. 20 press conferences between January and April 2026. Since then? Very few. What is Nigel Farage trying to hide?

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday. This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements. In parliament, I called for the Government to ban this event.

I'm delighted to back The Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge. This great scheme encourages children to keep reading during the summer holidays, Children across Leeds can sign up for free at local libraries this summer.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick" Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause and kick Palantir out of our NHS.

It's outrageous that energy giants will make billions more from Trump's war on Iran while ordinary people face higher bills. Today I called for an Emergency War Profits Tax so they can't make a single extra penny from this crisis. Use it to fund urgent cost-of-living support!

Greedy privatised water companies treat our rivers and seas like an open sewer. And they've ripped off the public with higher bills while handing nearly £90 BILLION to shareholders since privatisation. In Parliament, I called for water to be brought back into public ownership.

There is a growing push inside Parliament for widespread sanctions on Israel. It's what the public wants. And a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Labour members want tough sanctions too. This is a fight we are going to win!

Nigel Farage has missed 77 out of the last 77 votes in the House of Commons! Bet he doesn't have the same problem turning up for one of his highly paid second jobs. Or to meetings with wealthy donors when there's another big money "gift" on offer.

PFI in our NHS was a costly disaster. It funnelled billions away from patient care and into the pockets of private firms. I've written to the new Health Secretary urging him to ditch Wes Streeting's plan to use private finance schemes to build new neighbourhood health centres.

Tony Blair once said: “My project will be complete when the Labour Party learns to love Peter Mandelson.” That quote is worth remembering given The Times is reporting that Blair plans more interventions on Labour’s future.

Tony Blair has nothing to offer Labour in 2026. His neoliberalism, backing of endless wars and acceptance of inequality are exactly what Labour must break from if it wants to rebuild support and defeat the far-right.

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.

Israel's Finance Minister has ordered the eviction of a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank. Tough words are not enough. We need real action to stop this. In Parliament’s Middle East debate, I called for widespread sanctions on Israel to help stop these war crimes.

This is exactly the right thing to do however angry the right-wing media gets. And we'll need more of it. Ordinary people should not pay for the crisis caused by Trump’s war on Iran. The corporate giants making super-profits and ripping everyone off should pay.

85 MPs backed my Parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel. Thank you to everyone who contacted their MP asking them to sign it. The motion is now closed but, with a new Parliamentary session starting, I’ll soon be launching a renewed push for sanctions. Watch this space!

Labour doesn’t just need a new leader but a new direction. Labour must ditch the disastrous strategy of trying to “out-Reform” Reform. And instead deliver real Labour policies to win back the progressive voters who’ve abandoned our party. My new article: labouroutlook.org/2026/05/14/r...

We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.

We don't just need a new leadership. We need a total change of direction. Join me and other socialist MPs and trade union leaders tonight to discuss the real Labour policies needed to transform people’s lives and stop Nigel Farage. ▶️ Register here: tinyurl.com/whatnextmay26

These results make one thing clear: Keir Starmer has fought his last election as Labour leader. We now need a timetable for an orderly transition to a new leader by the end of this year. This could not be more serious. It's about stopping Farage entering No.10 Link to my new article is below 👇

Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. This is what should happen to him wherever he goes.

🚨BREAKING: 75 MPs now back my Parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel. As well as genocide in Gaza and war crimes in Lebanon, Israel is deepening its occupation of the West Bank. There's just a week left to back this sanctions call. Ask your MP to do so below.

Trump’s war is pushing up costs for millions - and Farage backed it from the start. Farage loved boasting about how close he was to Trump. Now the bills are rising, he’s gone quiet. So here’s a little reminder.

Trump’s illegal war on Iran and enocidal threats are part of a dangerous new agenda. The Trump Doctrine means yet more war and ripping up international law. For too long, Britain has acted as the USA’s junior partner. It's time to pursue a truly independent foreign policy.

The war criminal who leads Israel is now trying to undermine the new ceasefire and causing immense suffering in Lebanon with Israel's bombing there. Sanctions helped end apartheid in South Africa. They are needed to force Israel to end its repeated wars across the Middle East.

Trump is warning of widespread war crimes against Iran - and even appears to be threatening the use of what could be nuclear weapons. An incredibly dangerous moment for the whole world. Our government must immediately withdraw all access to UK bases for any US attacks on Iran.

From my speech to the amazing togetheralliance.bsky.social demo. Hatred will not build a single council house. Division will not fund our NHS. Racism will not lower a single energy bill. TOGETHER we will take on Farage’s lies and fight for real solutions to the crisis people face.

Delighted to speak at the huge @togetheralliance.bsky.social demonstration today. Instead of tackling the real cause of the problems in our society - the power and wealth of the super-rich - the far right wants to divide communities and blame migrants and Muslims. TOGETHER we won't let them win.

This Saturday, I’m joining the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march for unity against the far right. People are really struggling. But instead of offering real alternatives to our rigged economy, the far-right are scapegoating migrants and minorities. Join us. Let’s show hope will win over hate!

Some of the medical aid I’ve brought directly with me to Cuba, as Trump tries to strangle the Cuban people. Today we’ll be receiving tonnes more as the Nuestra America Aid Convoy arrives. Aid is arriving also arriving all the time from Britain thanks to solidarity. Donate below. cubavive.org.uk

This is exactly the mission creep I warned the Prime Minister against in Parliament. Britain should not be dragged into Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran - a war that leaves the whole Middle East and all of us less safe. We should be pressing for peace and de-escalation.

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk.

Protest movements secured many of the rights we now enjoy. I’m deeply concerned by attacks on our civil liberties, which is why I voted against the Palestine Action proscription & oppose ID cards. Today I joined MPs + campaigners to oppose plans to further restrict the right to peaceful protest.
