Congrats to all for a great campaign. So sorry it wasn’t enough this time, but tripling our vote share was huge. On Zack’s next steps - his leadership has led to huge party successes. I hope he can now bring same leadership to help resolve huge issues we face & transform our internal structures too

To be clear I’m not calling on Zack to step down. Today he's indicated he shares some of my concerns on the Zionism motion & I welcome that. Now the party needs to come together to urgently make our processes more robust & inclusive & take action to show Jewish members our party is safe for them

This would be economically illiterate & environmentally disastrous - and makes us less secure: undermining efforts to reduce energy bills by reducing dependence on gas, increasing vulnerability to global dictators, driving climate emissions & knee capping a market that’s just beginning to take off

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

Yesterday Zack Polanski called on the government to put in place a three year emergency brake on private rents. No sudden rent hikes. No evictions under the guise of rent rises. No more uncertainty, no more fear: just vital breathing space for renters.

When we go into an NHS hospital, we want to be able to trust that our health is the number one priority - not a private company's profits Tony Sullivan is absolutely spot on. It is time to end NHS privatisation
Graphic with quote from Tony Sullivan, co-chair of Keep Our NHS Public: "“When commercial incentives enter healthcare, robust safeguards, transparency and public accountability are essential, and in this case they catastrophically failed. The Government must urgently examine whether outsourcing and payment structures are putting patients at risk.”
