Mothers in Gaza fear giving birth, children are drinking dirty water.

The situation is critical and the response required is urgent.

David Lammy and I have written to the govt urging them to step up crucial humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

We can do more. We must do more.

Tens of thousands of patients were forced into A&E with tooth decay last year.

Under the Tories, NHS dentistry is in crisis.

Labour will provide 700,000 more urgent appointments a year, and make sure NHS dentistry is there for all who need it.

Khan urges government to hurry up with ban on 'exploitative' no-fault evictions

As 300 London renters face Section 21 evictions every week, four years have passed since government pledged to ban them

For 13 years, the Tories have failed to back Britain’s steel industry, offshoring jobs and damaging communities.

Labour will get Britain building. We will make the UK a world leader in green steel with long-term investment in clean steel technologies.

High rents and benefit cuts push poorer renters out of UK’s cities, report finds - chickens coming home to roost: one of the main policy drivers/consequences of housing policy when Johnson was mayor of London theguardian.com/society/2023/o…

Thank you to the Barnet Food Partnership and all those who attended and made it such a great afternoon.

Deeply concerning. New City Hall analysis shows around 290 London renters have faced ‘no-fault’ evictions *each week* since the Govt promised to end them four years ago.

Ministers must act to pass the Renters Reform Bill to ensure renters get the legal protections they need.

Labour will invest in our steel industry to grow the economy and create good, well-paid jobs across Britain.

I was grateful to hear from the Muslim community of the South Wales Islamic Centre.

I repeated our calls for all hostages to be released, more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, for the water and power to be switched back on, and a renewed focus on the two state solution.

We stand with our community attending the rallies in London and Manchester today, calling for the release of hostages and an end to Hamas’s reign of terror

#BringThemHome

LFI vice-chair & shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds addresses this afternoon’s vigil:

“When it comes to the condemnation of terror, there cannot be any equivocation, any caveats, any ifs or buts. It must be the condemnation of terror and a simple message: #BringThemHome ”

With one voice we say: release them now.

Joined thousands of others in central London, community leaders and politicians from all parties calling for the immediate release of hostages taken by Hamas

#BringThemHome

'[these] results show that if you select decent candidates, run positive, efficient, disciplined campaigns, and reassure the voters we have changed forever and won’t nationalise Sainsbury’s, then we can find our winning mojo once more.'

We must urgently scale up the amount of aid that is going into Gaza - food, water, medicine and fuel.

We must elevate efforts to free the hostages.

Longer term we need sustained efforts towards achieving a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
