Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

“You don’t speak for me!”
Heathrow supporters took to Kingston Bridge to challenge councils claiming to represent 1.7m people opposing #Heathrow expansion. Residents want #growth, #jobs and #investment, not more costly legal challenges.

Great to be at last night's Back the Third Runway dinner, meeting fellow members and colleagues from across the movement.
A third runway at Heathrow means jobs. Good, skilled, unionised jobs and apprenticeships for workers and communities across London and beyond.
GMB backs the third runway because we back workers. Let's get on and build it.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
David Henderson retweeted
I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

We saw today the dignity and decency that Keir has brought to being our Prime Minister. He has achieved so much, not least bringing Labour back into government and restoring the UK’s reputation on the world stage. We owe him our profound thanks for his service to our country.
Extremely disappointed in @wesstreeting . He's shown everyone that he's all huff and no puff.. – at Wandsworth, London

Labour are about to make a monumental mistake. They have history - Brown coronation, Ed Miliband election (wrong brother), Corbyn madness. But in the context of a big 2024 GE majority, removing a sitting PM would be a crowning disaster.

Being a dad is my greatest joy.
Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him.
Happy Father’s Day.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
David Henderson retweeted
Labour loses my vote if they don’t stop pfaffing with the leadership nonsense. There’s work to do and right now @Keir_Starmer seems to be the only one who gets that.
Does this apply to those who have chosen to live under a flight path too? – at London, England

Pride is, and always will be, a protest.
Four years ago, outside the Two Brewers in Clapham, I found myself in the middle of a homophobic attack.
Two young men standing next to me were assaulted by a woman simply for kissing.
Like anyone witnessing a hate crime, I intervened. Unfortunately, I then bore the brunt of a physical attack from her friend, who knocked me to the ground while shouting homophobic slurs.
The staff at @2BrewersClapham were brilliant. They intervened immediately and the police arrested those responsible.
Four years later, having heard very little from the police, I received the email that has become all too familiar to many victims: no further action.
So yes, Pride is a celebration. But when people are still being attacked for who they are, and when victims are left without justice, it remains a protest too.
