One of my takeaways from #Lab22 how well the party in the conference hall, leaders speech, stalls and fringes managed to embed nationalism without resorting to hating others
Today we joined two important events at #Lab22 about the impact of loneliness, mental health & the pandemic. Shadow Minister @DrRosena recognised loneliness particularly affects people with long-term conditions and that more support & a focus on prevention is needed
Big shout out to the all women team on @BBCNews TV coverage of #Lab22 @Keir_Starmer speech.
Lots of sense from @ayeshahazarika @katyballs @Jo_Coburn
Incredibly emotional hearing @LabourSatvir introduce Keir Starmer - two brilliant leaders #Lab22
.@pollytoynbee tells a Labour fringe: “Free speech matters. It’s a shame that so many of the advocates of free speech are generally advocates of saying nasty things” #lab22
.@KellyIpsosUK suggests that media focus on the “culture war” could be exacerbating division - when actually what most people are worried about is income, regional and class inequality #lab22
Britain leads the world in thinking that people are too easily offended, according to Ipsos polling on the culture war debate #lab22
A big thank you to @AnasSarwar for coming along to our @thefabians reception and particularly grateful for the recognition of our work to make the next government a Labour one. #Lab22 🌹
Sadiq Khan: “It’s still very much my intention to run and to win my third term” #lab22
We’re at a session about learning lessons from the pandemic in delivering better health and care.
This is so important, as we know the #Covid19 pandemic had a huge impact on people with #LessSurvivableCancers and their families. #Lab22
Great to have our Chair @AnnaJewell7 attending #Lab22 and raising the profile of #LessSurvivableCancers across the areas that are really important for people - including inequalities in access to medicines https://https://t.co/NXBkDulC0V
Deputy Prospect union leader Andrew Pakes says the movement needs to look beyond strikes: “Sometimes we become performative about the action [of striking]…We should be about changing conditions of work so people don’t have to take strike action in the first place” #lab22
Steve Wright from the @fbu follows Rachel Reeves on stage, saying “The FBU supports the workers - will the Labour leadership and Keir Starmer join Liverpool’s striking dockers on the picket lines?” #lab22
“I dare any Tory MP to tell a carer or NHS worker to their face that what we need right now is bigger bonuses for bankers” - shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves tells #lab22
@AreeqChowdhury session is being recorded as well #Lab22
Really looking forward to this today. We need to better understand data for good and data that controls and limits individual life chances. Impressed by the number of sessions on #Data at #Lab22
Early start at #Lab22
@mdbuckley @Rosa_Crawford @RichardGCorbett @RichardBentall all providing excellent insight into why we can't and shouldn't stop talking and fighting for a relationship with Europe
Now more than ever the UK needs to protect workers & a level playing field
Thanks so much for meeting us at #Lab22 @TaiwoOwatemi. It was great to speak to you about the need for better diagnosis, treatment and care for the less survivable cancers. We look forward to working with you to close the #DeadlyCancerGap
How should we govern in the digital age? Very pleased to be speaking alongside @ChiOnwurah @jamestplunkett @GavinFreeguard & @JeniT at this @instituteforgov @jrf_uk event at #Lab22 on Tuesday.
Be there, or be analogue…
Good Morning Liverpool! Our packed Fabian fringe kicks off at 12. #Lab22

We are very pleased that we will be in Liverpool next weekend.
The Scottish Fabians will host an event Tuesday 27th at 6:30pm to discuss our latest research on Scottish voters. #Lab22 🌹
