Senior Labour figures charged after criminal investigation into alleged vote rigging Exclusive: Four people charged after criminal investigation into irregularities surrounding Labour candidate selection process for Croydon East

Croydon East isn’t isolated.

We know other selection stitch-ups were dodgy too – overseen by McSweeney, Mandelson & co.

Clear attempts to rig party selections show why we need an independent investigation into Labour Together.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Karp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

“Palantir’s ‘manifesto’ sounds like the ramblings of a supervillain.”

Palantir should be nowhere near our public services. It's time to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

Today, we remember the 97 supporters who tragically lost their lives at Hillsborough, 37 years ago.

They will never be forgotten ❤️

As we continue to pursue truth and justice, we need the full #HillsboroughLawNow.

No more delays. No more excuses.

Protest Is Not a Privilege Next week, MPs will vote on a bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests, turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. It must be opposed.

"Every major step forward in this country has depended on people being able to gather, march and speak."

Today, MPs must vote against Lords Amendment 312 and reject this vast expansion of anti-protest powers.

Last week, Liverpool headteachers met with @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social to discuss the urgent realities they face.

Kim is listening to these local heroes so she can take their voices straight to Parliament.

It’s time the Government gives schools the funding they need to not just survive — but thrive.

The graphic images of Boyan’s injuries are truly shocking.

Racism in all its forms is completely unacceptable. Far-right racist violence has no place in our country – we want it off our streets.

Violence & hate will never be tolerated in our communities.

I've joined members from across Labour to call for a reset to protect our party's values and future.

For our party to recover, we must restore democracy, return to our founding principles and reject the current top-down approach.

Read our statement: resetlabour.co.uk

Great to meet with headteachers from across Merseyside to talk about the reality of school budgets.

Staffing pressures, rising pastoral needs, SEND costs are just some of the issues hitting classrooms hard.

Our schools cannot keep absorbing these pressures alone.

Liverpool City Council leader Liam Robinson condemns UKIP march Church leaders distance themselves from the march, saying it does not represent the area's Christians.

Tomorrow, UKIP are set to march in Liverpool. There is no place in our city for their scapegoating.

Love is greater than hate. Unity is stronger than division and racism. Hope is more powerful than fear.

We are Liverpool – a city of hope, not hate.

UK complicit in desecration of international law in Gaza, says Corbyn-led tribunal Unofficial body co-chaired by ex-Labour leader says Britain failed to meet its duty to seek to prevent a genocide

What will it take for this government to respond to the ICJ advisory opinion on genocide?

MPs launch student loans inquiry amid ‘perfect storm’ for young people in UK Influential Treasury committee chair Meg Hillier says review follows growing concern over graduate debt

The student loans crisis is a national scandal.

Graduates are being trapped by what are essentially loan-shark terms, fuelling injustice and deepening generational inequality.

This system isn’t just broken - it’s built to burden young people.

Due diligence report warned of ‘general reputational risk’ in Mandelson appointment - UK politics live Document relating to Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador in 2024 warned over his links to Epstein

"Reputational risk" features 4 separate times *IN BOLD* in the due diligence checklist of today's first set of released Mandelson files.

It’s impossible that Starmer didn’t see these warnings - he must apologise for initially proclaiming ignorance.

Tonight, I voted to defend our jury system.

Jury trials are a fundamental right and undermining them threatens the foundations of our democracy.

'Lammy’s jury trial cuts risk worsening racial bias in justice system' - LabourList Everyone deserves a fair trial, free from discrimination. Juries remain one of the most important mechanisms we have to protect that right.

The Government admits there’s a risk of increased racial bias – yet plans to review the impact on ethnic minorities after the reforms take effect.

Reckless. Irresponsible. Dangerous.

Justice needs juries.

Great to speak at the @rmtunion.bsky.social Women’s Conference in Liverpool.

The #ActionAgainstAssaults campaign is vital - no worker should be treated as second-class and no woman should choose between safety and livelihood. Proud that women’s rights are at the heart of our agenda.

Labour in ‘deep trouble’ with Black voters, Operation Black Vote chair warns David Weaver says proposed jury reforms and slow progress on equality risk eroding support in marginal seats

Black people have long been some of Labour's most loyal voters - but that loyalty is being undermined by decisions that deepen inequality.

Racial injustice isn't abstract; it's happening right now. Labour has a responsibility to fix it, not fuel it.

I’ve signed @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social's EDM on ticket pricing in football.

14 years of cuts. Stations gone. 12,000 firefighter jobs lost. Services stretched to breaking point.

Enough is enough.

@fbunational.bsky.social’s Cuts Kill campaign is our fight to reverse the damage and secure the reinvestment needed to build a fire service worthy of the future 🚒🔥

The conversation about housing is all wrong - it’s time to flip the narrative.

The housing emergency is driven by decades of underinvestment in affordable social homes, not by people seeking safety.

It’s time to build more homes & stop scapegoating migrants. You can help change the conversation.

The BBC deserves every bit of criticism here – it should never have been broadcast.

How is it that ‘Free Palestine’ can be censored, but the n-word was allowed to initially be aired?

It doesn’t add up. Serious questions need answering.

Today is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent and 40 days of preparation for Easter.

Wishing everyone observing this season blessings, peace and a meaningful time of reflection with loved ones and your faith.

Representation, not red tape ❌

Today, thanks to the Employment Rights Act, most of the Tories' 2016 Trade Union Act is repealed, removing restrictions designed to tie unions up in knots.

Our unions can now focus on what they do best - organising to win better pay & conditions!
