I've long called for a wealth tax - and it’s great to see support for it growing stronger by the day. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 Million would raise £24 BILLION per year The public backs a Wealth Tax. Let's step up our campaigning to get the Government to introduce one!

We don't need any more cuts. A Wealth Tax of just 2% on assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION per year. That's what I've been fighting for - and that's the way to pay for the investment our public services so desperately need.

How many more people in Gaza need to be killed, injured or starved by Israel, until the Government does the right thing and brings in widespread sanctions - on arms, on trade and on the individuals responsible for this genocide?

Great to join thousands of teachers in Parliament Square calling for the Government to give them a proper pay rise.

As I told ITV News Calendar: someone could need help cutting their food, washing themselves and going to the toilet — and still not qualify for PIP. That's totally unacceptable. The Government must drop this horrifying plan and instead tax extreme wealth, not target those in need.

Sensitive content

The world's top court warned of genocide in Gaza. Over 800 British lawyers are warning of Genocide. Every Government is complicit unless they do all they can to stop this. Impose widespread sanctions on Israel - on trade, politicians and its economy - and stop all arms sales.

Amazing scenes of children in Gaza celebrating the ceasefire. There’s a long way to go to ensure a future where such laughter is never silenced again - through genuine peace and justice for Palestine. But after so much pain, today we can share their joy

Spain's devastating floods highlight the need for massive investment to address the climate crisis. The fossil fuel giants have made eye-watering profits while fuelling climate chaos. Today I called for oil and gas companies to be made to pay for the climate action we need.

Alaa Abd El Fattah is a celebrated British-Egyptian writer and human rights campaigner. Imprisoned for the past decade for his writings, his mother is currently on hunger strike for his release. The Government must do all it can to reunite him with his family. #BringAlaaHome

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday. This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements. Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

There is a growing push inside Parliament for widespread sanctions on Israel. It's what the public wants. And a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Labour members want tough sanctions too. This is a fight we are going to win!

Nigel Farage today said “no one cares” about the £5 MILLION “gift” he received from a billionaire. Do people really believe billionaires gift vast sums without expecting something back? Some clips of Farage’s interview defending it here. See more of it in the tweet below.

Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less. With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick". Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

With my friend Jeremy Corbyn, I've just delivered key medical aid to Cuba. This is part of the Nuestra America Convoy that’s bringing in huge amounts of aid as Trump tightens the cruel and illegal blockade of Cuba. Donate and learn about the #NuestraAmericaConvoy below.

Today in Parliament, I called on the Government to impose sanctions on Israel. Over 50 MPs from seven parties have now backed my motion calling for sanctions. That’s the only way to force Israel to stop committing war crimes and to back a ceasefire.

Keir Starmer needs to go. But not through a Cabinet stitch-up or palace coup. And not through a snap leadership election run under rule changes designed by Morgan McSweeney/Labour Together in order to hand someone like Wes Streeting a coronation. My full interview on Sky.

As I’ve said, Keir Starmer needs to go. But not through a Cabinet stitch-up or palace coup. And not through a snap leadership election designed to hand Wes Streeting a coronation. We need a proper democratic contest involving the whole Labour movement so we get this right.

I oppose all nuclear weapons and believe in a nuclear-free Middle East as part of a nuclear-free world. Today I called on the Foreign Secretary to address Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal – thought to include at least 90 nuclear warheads. There must be no double standards.

At Prime Minister's Questions, I called on the Prime Minister not to cut support for disabled people and instead to introduce a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.

We face the threat of a far-right government for the first time in our history. To stop Reform we need to rebuild our lost support with real Labour values. That change must begin now. If it doesn’t, Labour will face disaster in the 2026 elections and time will be up for the PM.

Trade union leaders, Labour MPs and members groups have launched a new call to end the factional culture coming from the top of the Labour Party and to restore Labour democracy and members’ rights. 🌹Sign up here:

A small clique organised around Morgan McSweeney and Labour Together wanted Mandelson promoted, come what may, to strengthen their factional grip and to oppose real Labour values.

Greedy privatised water companies treat our rivers and seas like an open sewer. And they've ripped off the public with higher bills while handing nearly £90 BILLION to shareholders since privatisation. In Parliament, I called for water to be brought back into public ownership.

The Prime Minister has taken the Labour Whip from MPs like Rachael Maskell for opposing disability benefit cuts. And he denies it to Diane Abbott, Apsana Begum and others too. All whilst he leaves Peter Mandelson with the Labour Whip. Completely unjustifiable!

Last night I was in a total blackout in Cuba's capital Havana - a result of the cruel &amp; illegal US blockade and Trump's attempt to tighten this by stopping any fuel getting in. Trump is trying to strangle millions of people into submission. We must take a stand against this.

We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.

Israel's Finance Minister has ordered the eviction of a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank. Tough words are not enough. We need real action to stop this. In Parliament’s Middle East debate, I called for widespread sanctions on Israel to help stop these war crimes.

At PMQs today, I told the Prime Minister that to stop a Reform Government we need a return to real Labour values. That means real action to tackle poverty and inequality, a Wealth Tax on the super-rich, and an ethical foreign policy that takes a strong stand against war crimes.
