We are thrilled that members of @OpenLabour have voted decisively to merge with Mainstream.
The movement for a more pluralist and democratic Labour Party that can transform the country is becoming stronger each day.

This morning, a fake email was sent to Labour MPs purporting to be from Mainstream.
This was not sent from Mainstream and has been reported to the Police.
ALT This morning, a fake email was sent to Labour MPs purporting to be from Mainstream, calling for a parliamentary walkout in November. This has been reported to the police. The email was not sent by Mainstream, or anyone associated with Mainstream. The address it was sent from is not one owned by us. Clearly, bad faith actors driven by factionalism are seeking to undermine the work that Mainstream is doing with MPs and others from all across the Labour Party to build the ideas, strategy and culture to make our time in government as transformative as possible - and put us on a firm footing in 2029.

To transform Britain and defeat the far-right, Labour needs a grassroots movement in every community.
Our plummeting membership figures prove the top-down model has failed. The answer is to democratise, open up, and empower members.

The war in Gaza has gone on for too long.
ALT Ceasefire and Hostage Deal: I welcome today’s news of the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire deal, and of release of hostages and prisoners. However, a full ceasefire is still necessary, alongside an immediate free flow of urgent humanitarian aid to Gaza. The UK must continue to support the recognition of a Palestinian statehood, and work to provide support to Gazans on the ground in the meantime.

We are appalled by today's attack at a synagogue in Manchester and extend our fullest solidarity to the victims, to their families and to the Jewish community.
The horror of antisemitism must be rooted out in all its forms, wherever it rears its ugly head.

We're disappointed that the two-child benefit limit won't be debated at Labour Party Conference.
Social justice must be returned to the heart of Labour's programme and the mainstream of our party, which overwhelmingly backs an end to the limit, must be heard.

As Labour conference begins in Liverpool today, some reflections from @JGriffithsLab and me on what we'd like to see on @BBCRadio4 #Lab25 – at Birkenhead, England

Mainstream is the new home for Labour's radical realists.
For everyone who knows that to transform the country and take on the populist right, Labour must offer a popular, principled and practical left politics for meaningful change.

📢❗🚨Labour members: send the @CompassOffice x @OpenLabour x @PeoplesMomentum motion on child poverty to this year's Labour Party Conference.
By taxing the gambling industry and restoring the levy on commercial banking profits, we can fund the ending of the two-child limit.
MOTION: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

🌹Three Labour campaign groups have joined forces for the first time to launch a petition objecting to the suspension of the whip from four MPs.

🚨 The Tories and Reform just voted to BLOCK Labour’s investment in schools for:
🥣 breakfast clubs
👔 cheaper school uniforms
👦 new teams to keep children safe
👩🏫 qualified teachers in every classroom
Shameful. They are not on your side.

I took part in the Open Labour Rally, a side event at the #LabourPartyConference. Among a community that cares deeply about geopolitical issues, we discussed global security in a very authentic location. This topic cannot be discussed without Ukraine.
In addition to stressing the importance of continued support and cooperation from allies, I spoke about the daily lives of Ukrainians: power outages, sleepless nights due to shelling, and schooling of our children amid constant air raid sirens.
It's important not only to receive words of support from politicians but also to communicate information directly to the British public. I expressed gratitude on behalf of all Ukrainians for the support we feel from the British people.

Great to be here at another packed @OpenLabour rally at #LPC24. Listening to @alexsobel talk about the need to tackle the climate crisis, stand up to challenges to democracy globally and promote social and economic justice. 🌹🌍

Read our statement on the two-child benefits cap below.
Almost nobody in the Labour Party positively supports the cap. Open Labour's door is open to Labour members, trade unions, economists and charities to discuss working together to build the campaign to scrap it.

Let’s work together to scrap the two-child benefits cap…

Today I chaired the first Cabinet Committee on the Future of Work, kicking off the biggest upgrade to rights at work for a generation.
We’ll deliver this Government’s plan to make work pay - with a new deal for working people.

Great results from South Cambridgeshire's @4Day_Week trial:
-Staff turnover down 39%, saving £371k in a year
-Physical & mental health, motivation & commitment all improved
Hopefully the new government will be more open, curious & supportive than the last theguardian.com/business/art…
