Have been a bit frustrated by some of the conversation about Labour's voter coalition. I've written about who the "Hero Voters" actually were, how we won them, and what we need to do to earn their support next time. chriscurtismk.substack.com/p/who-actual...

🚨 Calling UK tech startups !!! Especially if based by the coast 🏖️🌊 Niche request, but I'd like to speak to digital nomads who have set up or moved their businesses to a seaside town/rural area in the last few years If that's you/someone you know, please get in touch in the comments or via DM

personally I spend more time worrying about whether or not I will be sexually assaulted than why I don't own a $30,000 purse but go off

Why does it take 2.5 hours to travel 214 miles between two different countries….but 2 hours to travel 65 miles in the same country….🧐🤔

Politico: "MPs should consider deleting X, according to a committee led by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle... "On social media, the report said MPs should feel “empowered to step away from platforms that pose more harm than benefit.” Absolutely. Please get on with it.

A No Kings rally in deep blue Washington, DC might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the upbeat groove of Sly and the Family Stone, you can hear whispers that the Radical Left is the reason a pumpkin spice oat milk latte is $6.75.

I think anyone who has been around local government in the last decade could have predicted something like this would happen.

The statements that the two Labour Deputy Leader candidates have shared with the Labour Animal Welfare Society are disappointing because neither of them mention if they have pets, or whether they are cat or dog people. Sad. 🐈 🐕

British Muslim Trust response to arson attack on East Sussex mosque, exemplifying fears of anti-Muslim attacks to 'retaliate' for the murderous attack at the Manchester synagogue. "We encourage everyone to come together in solidarity and stand united against hateful rhetoric against any community"

Like me, I know Portsmouth people are growing increasingly frustrated with ongoing delays to the redevelopment of the former Knight & Lee building. I hope local people and traders will back me in calling on the developer to speed up their plans👇🏻 www.stephenmorgan.org.uk/progress-on-...

And over Saturday and Sunday we had huge demand for the now iconic Build Baby Build hats signed by the unstoppable Steve Reed MP. Thanks to everyone who came across the week and showed how committed Labour is to getting Britain building!

We had an acronym extravaganza with LPDF and PLMR at our panel on what Labour has gotten right on planning reform and what we need to tackle the housing crisis. Thanks to Mike Reader, Sam Stafford, Gemma Gallant, and our co chairs Marc and Shreya for their contributions!

That's a wrap! Huge thank you to Steve Reed and the entire Labour Yimby team for such an unforgettable Labour Conference. They brought energy, fun, and the largest events programme we've ever run. Labour is united behind the need to Build Baby Build! A look back across the week ⬇️

Antisemitism has been ‘allowed to grow’ in UK, says Jewish security group

Anyone who thinks promoting a vicious racist conspiracist like Robinson is good for Jews has lost any grip on reality

For ~20yrs the Climate Change Act has powered clean growth & climate action Proud to co-ordinate 124 MPs & Peers to urge the Conservatives, don’t scrap it Turning climate leadership into a political football puts our economy, security & children’s future at risk #ClimateAction

Astonishing bravery from security and worshippers outside the synagogue in Manchester looks to have prevented an appalling attack being even worse.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

This is horrifying. My thoughts are with the victims, the wider community and Jewish people in the UK.

I’m really pleased to share some positive news for Landport in the heart of our city.   We’ve secured £20 million of long-term funding for the community - £2 million every year for the next decade. By working together with local people and community groups we ensure pride in place👇🏻

Have you ever thought about standing for your local council? Do you care about your community? Could you put your ideas into practice? Cllr Amanda Serjeant says why she became a Labour councillor. You could too. #Labourcllrs

Our ambitious reforms on devolution will empower local leaders, drive economic growth & deliver optimal public services for communities across the UK. Great to address & take questions this week from the cross-party LGA Councillors' Forum on the future of local government.

I needed this today

Thanks, Keir, for the warm welcome at 10 Downing Street.    At a time of great consequence for our country — one in which our sovereignty has been called into question — alliances and friendships like ours matter.

For too long our shopping centres have been forgotten or ignored.   I’ve written to the city council to make sure we see action on revitalising our high streets. Businesses and local people want to see Portsmouth’s potential unlocked👇🏻
