Giving communities a stronger voice in their future is at the heart of co-operative politics. Changes to investment rules will give local priorities greater weight, recognising how housing, transport and skills work together to improve lives.

We support the Labour Party’s call on Green Groups in local government to condemn the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion.

Antisemitism is shamefully rising across the globe, and it's going to take all of us to tackle it. Yesterday I met leaders from the J7 to discuss this unique hatred targeting Jewish communities and to learn from each other's experiences and approaches. By listening, learning and sharing what works, we can strengthen our response to antisemitism and help ensure Jewish people in our communities can live safely and confidently.

Today marks three years since October 7th 2023 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas terrorists unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering more than 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and taking 251 people hostage. We remember all those murdered. May their memory be a blessing.

On the 3rd anniversary of the October 7th Hamas terrorist atrocities, I'm reposting this thread that I wrote in the immediate aftermath:
I went to Kfar Aza twice this summer, in May and July taking Labour activists from the UK on study tours to Israel. Each time we were shown round by a bright and hilariously funny young Israeli woman, a former army medic. I have no idea if she is alive or dead.

As Yom Kippur begins tonight, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, we extend our wishes for a meaningful and easy fast to all observing. May this day be filled with reflection and atonement. G’mar Chatima Tova, may you be sealed in the Book of Life!

A poignant tribute at Buckingham Palace to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We remember those who lost their lives, and those who showed extraordinary courage in the face of terror. We will never forget them, and we will always stand with our American friends.

Great trip to @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh with Labour colleagues @ChrisWebbMP @ParmjitDhanda & @andyfenner81. We were on stage taking about business opportunities, AI & governance. Great to meet with Saudi Police, the British Embassy & the Misk Foundation.

Moderated a panel on AI & Smart Borders at @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh. AI has stopped being a chatbot & started booking on our behalf. But it’s only worth building if it brings more people together. #LEAP26

🚨Reminder🚨 Voting in the Labour NEC elections couldn’t be easier. If you’re a Labour Party member, search “Labour Party Elections” in your inbox, and check your junk folder too. These elections use a Single Transferable Vote (STV) system, so your preferences, and the order in which you rank candidates, really matter. For example, in London, here are the @labtowin recommendations 👇 You can see the recommendation for every region on this link labourtowin.org/internalelec…

Water off a duck’s back. My message to every single young person who worries about encountering this sort of thing in their lives and careers is simple: we are stronger, they are weaker, and the future is brighter.
"Give your head a wobble, mate." @HenryRiley1 challenges caller John, who says Wes Streeting won’t be taken seriously as Defence Secretary because of his "camp" way of speaking.
