10 years on, Jo Cox was murdered by a far-right extremist. Jo was an extraordinarily warm person who believed in a more inclusive society for all. Today, we remember Jo, and vow to build the kinder world she was striving for.

It’s a Trumpian World Cup for racism and cynicism – why don’t those who condemned Qatar 2022 say so? | Jeremy Corbyn

We must highlight the awful stance of the White House towards so many competing nations, but also the hypocrisy of leaders who acquiesce, says MP Jeremy Corbyn

We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets. We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead. A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need. That is what real security means.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The Arsenal parade was an incredible occasion, but it was also reminder of how much we take cleaners' work for granted. So let’s use this as an opportunity to win fair pay and conditions for cleaners! My piece for @islingtontrib.bsky.social. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/clea...

Cleaners’ work is taken for granted

There is a huge gap between the importance of the work that cleaners do and the way society treats them

For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world. Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled. Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

Our government is still supplying arms to Israel as it continues to bomb, starve & dispossess the Palestinian people. That is why thousands of us continue to demonstrate — and that is why we reject disgraceful attempts to malign our movement for peace. metro.co.uk/2026/05/13/c...

This government has participated in genocide. Here is a simple test for any would-be successor to Keir Starmer: Would you establish a full, independent, public inquiry into the government’s complicity in the greatest crime of our time?

Starmer's resignation is not enough. What needs booting out is the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war. My piece for Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/05/star...

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

I just voted for three fantastic independent candidates in Finsbury Park who oppose austerity, stand up to racism and support the people of Palestine. Today, a new kind of politics is on the ballot — and community power will win!

I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me. There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine. I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide. novaramedia.com/2026/05/05/j...

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them. Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear. These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.

The government knows our marches for Palestine are made up of all faiths and none. The are suppressing our hard-fought right to protest for one reason: to hide their complicity in genocide. Israel’s occupation must end. Until then, our movement for peace isn’t going anywhere.

The government has spent the past two years turning a blind eye to war crimes in Gaza. Now, the Foreign Office unit that tracks Israeli breaches of international law has closed altogether. This is the last stage of British complicity: pretend it never happened at all.

Peter Mandelson worked every day to try and prevent a redistribution of wealth and power in Britain. That is why he was rewarded with a top job. Our political system is built by - and for - a corrupt clique. We will carry on campaigning for a society that works for us all.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Everybody knows the water companies are a bunch of charlatans and thieves. Watch my interview on why privatisation is — and always has been — a total disaster. youtu.be/1J2D0PgbAbQ?...

Donald Trump has threatened to destroy every bridge & power plant in Iran, vowing to bomb the county “back to the Stone Age.” We warned our government it was dragging Britain into an illegal war — and that the consequences would be catastrophic. Enough. End UK complicity now!

Solidarity with doctors on strike today. They’re not asking for a pay rise. They’re asking for pay restoration after a decade of cuts. The government’s response? Take away vital training jobs, harming us all. Hardworking NHS staff will always have my full support!

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate. May we keep in our minds all those who are living in poverty or seeking refuge from the horrors of war. During these important days of renewal and compassion, let us spread a message of peace and humanity for everyone, everywhere.

What a disgraceful and patronising way to treat healthcare staff working hours on end to look after us all. These training posts are vital for the future of our NHS. To use them as bargaining chips is appalling. Time to end privatisation and fund the NHS properly instead.

Starmer gives doctors 48 hours to cancel strike or lose new jobs package

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne. The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, the UK is letting US bombers land, refuel and re-arm. Complicity is always a choice — and our government has chosen to drag Britain into an illegal war.
