Just to give you some idea of the impact of Heathrow’s plans for a 3rd runway, this is Harmondsworth village, one of the 4 Heathrow villages that will be wiped off the face of the earth by Heathrow.15,000 people will lose their homes & community to profit a foreign owned company.

Yesterday in London was a wake up call. Progressives in all our political parties,trade unions, religious bodies & civil society groups need urgently to start talking together about the campaign needed to tackle the rise of the far right & the organisational form that should take

Just heard news from pro Palestine activists that they’ve ended hunger strike in the context of the Government denying contract to Elbit. They’ve also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions. I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers.

I’ve just finished marching on the Palestine demonstration & have come to Parliament Square where people are being arrested for peacefully protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action. It’s a disgrace that people are being arrested for upholding our democratic rights.

Sad but inevitable departure of Angela R but the party needs to move on quickly now & set up the election for her successor. It’s crucial the election is used to unite the party & so it has to be an election where candidates from the broad church of the party are enabled to stand

Just to confirm my view that international human rights law & the Geneva Convention must be adhered to & that the blockading of supplies of water, electricity & food to Gaza is contrary to international law. We need voices across the international community standing up for this.

Labour’s National Executive Committee tomorrow to decide timetable for deputy leadership election. Nominations close on Thursday. So no time for party members to meet in CLPs to discuss who their MP should nominate. Pretty clear leadership wants to bounce their own candidate thru

Today is the last day of the debate on the King’s Speech & there will be a series of votes. I will vote today in support of the amendment calling for the scrapping of the iniquitous 2 child limit on benefits, which has caused such hardship. I explain why in this short video.

Tomorrow, Thames Water are asking High Court to agree its £3 billion loan. 6 million households will be hit by a £250 hike in their bills. To stop this rip off privatisation government should bring water back into public ownership. Join the court demo at 10.30 We Own It

Heathrow is submitting its plans for a 3rd runway today. It’ll mean 15,000 losing their homes, more noise for 2 million Londoners, the government missing its climate change targets & inevitably Heathrow coming for tax payer subsidies.For all these reasons,say no to the 3rd runway

I raised again the need to establish a scheme to evacuate seriously injured Palestinian children from Gaza for treatment in our country. We introduced a scheme for Ukrainian children & to extend that scheme to children from Gaza would be a small but important act of humanity.

Tonight I spoke against Government’s attack on workers’ rights, which undermines the basic human right of a worker to withdraw their labour. Nurses, ambulance drivers & railway workers face sack if they take strike action & refuse a minister’s instruction to break the strike.

At Labour Party Conference the leadership opposed motion supported by unions & CLPs that demanded action in the light of the UN Commission’s finding of genocide taking place in Gaza. How fair is it 7 speakers were called supporting leadership but none in support of the motion.

Please urge the government not to appeal the court decision today that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. We must uphold our centuries old tradition of the right to protest. Contact your local MP to ask them to speak out against the government proposal to appeal.
