Today, my thoughts are with the victims, survivors and families of the October 7th attacks in Israel. In February 2024, I visited homes attacked that day with a man whose parents were abducted and murdered. 1/3

Well done to @jessasatomp.bsky.social for taking on the tech companies and their harm to women.
Yesterday, I testified before @council.nyc.gov on my legal action against SpaceXAI. In my speech I said we were promised that artificial intelligence could hold the cure to cancer. Yet it is turning into a cancer which, left unchecked, has the potential to harm us all. lnkd.in/p/gQbfKJJN
Water under public ownership, a National Care Service, closer ties with the EU, leasehold reform, GB Grid to deliver our green electricity, electoral reform, energy costs brought down. These are the changes a Labour government, led by Andy Burnham, will deliver. Hope again.
🍐 Today! Southfields Harvest and Repair Cafe 12-3 at St Barnabas Church. Lots to buy, lovely lunch, local organisations to meet - and get your electrical fixed and clothes mended! #Southfields
Wishing Jewish communities in South West London and beyond a blessed Yom Kippur filled with reflection, forgiveness, peace and renewal. G’mar Chatima Tova! ✨ #YomKippur
Under Labour Wandsworth had Britain’s lowest Council Tax. Wandsworth Conservatives just announced Britain’s biggest ever Council Tax rise - they will more than double it next year. They don’t need to do this - it is their choice. Sign the petition: wandsworthlabour.uk/council-tax
Honoured to contribute my thoughts in this new publication, launched today. In my essay, I argue that the UK must redefine its role in a fractured world, focusing on social justice, climate resilience, and global cooperation with a route back to 0.7%. 🌍💡 #NewEconomics #GlobalJustice

The policies proposed in this collection are varied, but respond to a common constellation of factors – both threats and opportunities – that demand a rethinking of international cooperation. Explore the full set of essays here: neweconomics.org/2026/09/reth...

The world’s most vulnerable need help – Labour needs to restore international aid

Great to be out talking to residents in Trinity ward #Tooting about the by-election taking place on Thursday. I know Shirin Georgini well and she will be a fantastic Councillor. With Conservatives revealing their 160% council tax rise plans, there is a big difference between Labour and Tory.

Great to see our inquiry on climate resilience cited by @fleuranderson.bsky.social in this piece from @fayebrownjourno.bsky.social on @news.sky.com Even before this summer's wildfires, 81% of the UK public thought we are unprepared for the worst impacts of climate change. Voters want action.
MPs fear one key issue could end new PM's honeymoon period
The "Burnham bounce" has largely been driven by Green voters coming back to the fold. Labour MPs warn that spells trouble if more oil and gas is approved following a summer of extreme weather.

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.
This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan
Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Climate resilience must be at the heart of the new government. Deadly heatwaves have followed record rain and flooding this year. Our inquiry found that the NHS, food system and homes are unprepared.🔥🌩️ Our report sets out priorities for Burnham to make the UK more secure:

The Tory leader of Wandsworth Council has resigned after just 44 days. The residents of Wandsworth deserve council leaders who work for them full time, not as a hobby. The Conservatives were clearly unprepared for the demands of running a council.

The facts… 1. Farage was reported to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards back in April 2026 for failing to declare £5m (Farage claims this is a gift) from Thailand-based, crypto-billionaire donor Christopher Harborne.
