We are horrified by the appalling attack outside a synagogue in Manchester today, on the holiest day of the Jewish year. Our solidarity are with the victims, their families and the Jewish community. Antisemitism has no place in our society. It must be confronted and defeated.

We are appalled by today's attack at a synagogue in Manchester and extend our fullest solidarity to the victims, to their families and to the Jewish community. The horror of antisemitism must be rooted out in all its forms, wherever it rears its ugly head.

A step in the right direction, but nothing less than the total abolition of the limit will suffice. This is what the Mainstream of the Party and the country want. If it just becomes a ‘three-child benefit limit’, millions of children will keep suffering. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Neal Lawson: « It’s up to all of us who want that decent, better society and want a programme for it to speak up. @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social was created for that. »

We're disappointed that the two-child benefit limit won't be debated at Labour Party Conference. Social justice must be returned to the heart of Labour's programme and the mainstream of our party, which overwhelmingly backs an end to the limit, must be heard.

"The Labour Party's lost." Mainstream Interim Council member Neal Lawson explaining why Mainstream is needed now as much as ever on BBC Politics Live.

Delegates to #Lab25: in the Priorities Ballot, vote for 'Supporting Families'. Let's put social justice back at the heart of Labour's programme and end the Tories' two-child benefit limit.

84% of Labour members want an end to the two-child benefit limit. Delegates must have an opportunity to debate party policy - and Labour must give children the opportunity of a life free from poverty and hunger. In the Priorities Ballot, vote for 'SUPPORTING FAMILIES'.

❗️❕❗️More and more Labour voices are calling for an end to the two-child benefit limit. The 2025 Labour Party Conference must debate the two-child limit and vote to end it. 🗳️ In the Priorities Ballot, vote for 'Supporting Families' to secure a debate on the two-child limit.

🌹Labour can afford to end the two-child benefit limit. But we can't afford for children to go hungry. 📢 Delegates to #Lab25: back 'Supporting Families' in the Priorities Ballot to secure a motion on ending the two-child benefit limit.

NEW: Labour's CAC has reversed its decision to block motions on ending the two-child benefit limit. Without an end to the two-child benefit limit, the Government's Child Poverty Strategy is doomed to fail. A statement from Mainstream's Interim Council below👇

🌹The country will not forgive Labour for allowing children to go hungry. That's why we're calling on Labour's CAC to reverse their decision to block conference motions calling for an end to the two-child benefit limit. 🖊️Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/la...

Mainstream is a historic moment. Never before had the left, soft left and centre of the Labour Party come together in this manner to change the direction of the Party for the better. Interim Council Member Neal Lawson on BBC World At One.

I'm proud to be a founding member of @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social

Mainstream will push Labour to be bolder by organising within the party on key economic, social, democratic and environmental issues. We are thrilled to have the support of @alexsobel.co.uk in this endeavour. www.mainstreamlabour.org/about #Mainstream

I'm one of the 700 so far. Let's be honest, Labour has a lot to do to rebuild our trust. I've debated ending my membership many times, and I understand why people have. But I do want to try and build a vision of hope, as a principled Left, for meaningful change.

There's overwhelming support amongst Labour's membership for a more radical offer on democracy, the economy, child poverty & more. We believe the voices of radical realists, the vast majority of the Labour Party, must be heard and heeded. Join us: mainstreamlabour.org/get-involved
