The Labour leadership has clamped down on party democracy to push through an increasingly unpopular agenda. A coalition of trade union leaders, Labour MPs and campaigners has launched a call to restore members’ rights. 🌹JOIN US AT MONDAY'S RALLY tinyurl.com/Rally4Labour...

Join us on Monday to talk about restoring democracy to the Labour Party. The Mandelson and Labour Together affairs show the need for party members to take back control of their party now more than ever.

The right to a trial by jury is fundamental. There are a range of improvements put forward by legal professionals working in our courts to improve efficiency of our system without the need to restrict access to jury trial. That’s why I’ll vote against threat to jury trial today.

I’m supporting this campaign from @CHinchliffMP. Polls show the public want stronger protections for nature — not weaker ones. Backwards steps risk turning the nature crisis into a catastrophe. Don’t cross these Red Lines.

Labour coming third in Gorton & Denton was the result of a leadership that ignores members on the policies we need and denies them a real choice of candidate. I’ve joined trade union leaders, MPs & others to demand: Restore Labour Democracy. Sign here👇 tinyurl.com/RestoreLabou...

It’s the 120th anniversary of the adoption of the name the Labour Party. Today, there’s a growing call across the Labour & trade union movement about the need to restore democracy & members’ rights in the Party. If you agree, sign up to the statement in this video.

I stand with Ian Byrne on this. The government must fulfil its promise to introduce the full Hillsborough law. No half measures.

Today was the 24th anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo, infamous for its brutal torture of its inmates. For years we have campaigned with some success for the release of innocent detainees & yet 15 remain. Today in London we joined the worldwide protest demanding its closure

Happy Versaikhi to all my Sikh constituents & Sikhs worldwide. Running late from speaking at online meeting to make Gurdwara but caught up with procession & met so many of my old Sikh friends and many young families. Wonderful & joyous occasion.

The government’s plans to cut £5 billion from the support to disabled people will result in immense suffering &, as we’ve seen in the past, loss of life. I have asked Ministers what monitoring will take place & what level of suffering will force a change of their cuts policy.

Labour’s policy under Keir Starmer is to recognise the state of Palestine as part of the peace process. So I questioned the Foreign Secretary about how he will decide that the time is right. It’s clear to most that recognising Palestine now will help lay the foundations for peace and justice.

Just back from Hayes and Yeading United’s last game of 2024. A welcome 1-0 victory secured in the 87th minute against Sutton Common Rovers. Points gained by a determined team fighting to the end.

I’m backing Sarah Owen’s Fireworks Bill to control the use of fireworks, especially to tackle the antisocial use of fireworks & the harm that is done to animals.

The reality is representations urging Israel to stop the killing are ignored by Netanyahu & the Trump election gives signal to the IDF it can continue to act with impunity. Only a new boycott, disinvestment & sanctions strategy could have any effect. It should be a core demand on UK.

Wonderful to join the headteacher, teachers, parents & children at the marvellous William Byrd school in Harlington to plant the trees, which will grow to form the outside classroom areas as the schools develops its role as a forest school. Another great initiative by this marvellous school.
