Andy Burnham’s speech yesterday was great & much welcomed because it addressed much of the agenda set by the Left over recent years. The role of the Left now will be to engage constructively in discussions over how & how far this agenda will be delivered & how much more is needed. 1/7

Restore democracy to London Labour!

There are two key reasons for Labour’s dire performance in London’s local elections. One was the failings of Keir Starmer’s government. The second was the appalling damage to our Party by the facti…

Andrew Fisher in a few sentences exactly sums up the economic situation people are facing, why and what the alternative is.

Labour minister’s line now is Keir Starmer never promised vote on “defensive” military action & it’s unprecedented. There was no “defensive” caveat in his promise.Every war has been presented as “defensive” including Iraq & Blair allowed a vote. This is embarrassing sophistry.

MP seeks inquiry into Labour-linked think tank over concerns he was surveilled

The Labour leadership has clamped down on party democracy to push through an increasingly unpopular agenda. A coalition of trade union leaders, Labour MPs and campaigners has launched a call to restore members’ rights. 🌹JOIN US AT MONDAY'S RALLY tinyurl.com/Rally4Labour...

Join us on Monday to talk about restoring democracy to the Labour Party. The Mandelson and Labour Together affairs show the need for party members to take back control of their party now more than ever.

Join us next Monday in our online discussion about how we can restore democracy in the Labour Party.

The right to a trial by jury is fundamental. There are a range of improvements put forward by legal professionals working in our courts to improve efficiency of our system without the need to restrict access to jury trial. That’s why I’ll vote against threat to jury trial today.

Labour coming third in Gorton & Denton should be a wake-up call. Members’ and trade union voices have been sidelined and party democracy weakened to push through an increasingly unpopular agenda. Join the call to restore Labour democracy. 🌹REGISTER tinyurl.com/Rally4LabourDe…

Thanks to the persistent work undertaken by Disability News Service this ongoing failure to address the risk of suicide amongst this vulnerable group of our fellow citizens is revealed. We’ll be pressing government for action.

DWP staff ignored rules on how to respond to claimants who report suicidal thoughts, secret reports reveal #DWP #InternalProcessReviews @debbieabrahamsmp.bsky.social @stevedarlingmp.bsky.social @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-staff-ig...

I’m supporting this campaign from @CHinchliffMP. Polls show the public want stronger protections for nature — not weaker ones. Backwards steps risk turning the nature crisis into a catastrophe. Don’t cross these Red Lines.

Labour coming third in Gorton & Denton was the result of a leadership that ignores members on the policies we need and denies them a real choice of candidate. I’ve joined trade union leaders, MPs & others to demand: Restore Labour Democracy. Sign here👇 tinyurl.com/RestoreLabou...

With extensive financial links between Cabinet Office ministers & Labour Together now revealed plus ex senior LT staffer holding post in Cabinet Office ethics team, it’s ludicrous for Keir Starmer to expect people to believe this is an independent inquiry.

If this is true, it provides even more justification for the Labour Party to launch an independent inquiry into these allegations that Labour Together sought to smear journalists investigating its activities. Bewildering why it hasn’t. What more is needed? archive.ph/2026.02.18-0...

It’s the 120th anniversary of the adoption of the name the Labour Party. Today, there’s a growing call across the Labour & trade union movement about the need to restore democracy & members’ rights in the Party. If you agree, sign up to the statement in this video.

In recent weeks I’ve written 3 times to the General Secretary of the Labour Party to call for an independent inquiry into this. I copied Keir Starmer into each request. Clear to me as Secretary of the NUJ’s Parliamentary Group if true this is unacceptable. archive.is/2026.02.14-2...

I asked the Defence minister today to examine whether the £4 million donation to Labour in 2024 by Quadrature. a hedge fund with sizeable investments in Palentir, a client of Mandelson’s company, had any influence on the award of contracts to Palentir, some without competition.

I have written twice now to Labour’s General Secretary to investigate this story because if true it is immensely damaging to our party.

Along with many MPs, I want to see @TfL insource its cleaners and support the @RMTUnion campaign. I’m concerned about the charge of corporate capture at TfL so Andy Lord needs to ensure that his ‘comprehensive pilot’ of insourcing actually delivers insourcing for all its cleaners youtu.be/WBIbAn-YDE

Pleased to meet representatives of Royal College of Midwives to discuss the need to train & recruit more midwives. I will be working with them to examine the issues in my constituency & how they can be addressed @MidwivesRCM

So proud to support @ucu campaign rally for FE colleges. Attending a night school FE class at Burnley FE college,when I was on the shop floor, transformed my life. It’s shocking how FE lecturers’ pay has fallen back over last 15 years. Investment in staff is desperately needed.

FE transforms lives. From FE student at Burnley College to Shadow Chancellor. John McDonnell MP: “We will be with you at every rally, every dispute and every picket.” Thank you for your ongoing solidarity.
