Great to meet Yvette Lawrenson from @windracers to see british design and manufacturing at its best for #Ukraine and humanitarian aid @uklabour.bsky.social @ministryofdefence

I was proud to commend the Prime Minister on his strong stance in his speech to Labour Conference a couple of weeks ago and highlight why a particular party opposite does not deserve the chance to govern at Prime Minister’s Questions today 👇🏼

If you try to stir up racial hatred and spread your poisonous worldview through misinformation, you deserve to be called out.

Great news for Blakenall @walsallandbloxwich @uklabour.bsky.social

I’m a campaigner - and I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader.

This last week I’ve visited every region & nation in Britain - telling Labour’s story.

We are grateful to Scottish Labour MSPs for adding their names in support of our statement on recognition.

Alongside yesterday’s statement from Anas Sarwar, it sends a clear message that all Scottish Labour MSPs support recognition of the State of Palestine.

We know good practice that properly supports children with SEND exists, but for far too many families that’s not their experience.

We must spread the best practice and build excellence for every child, everywhere.

A better system is possible. Great to speak with @dcpcampaign.bsky.social

A good deal @labouruk.bsky.social
