Российские власти несправедливо и безосновательно удерживают Владимира Кара-Мурзу в заключении. Он должен быть освобожден немедленно.

Russia is unjustly and cruelly holding Vladimir Kara-Murza in custody for speaking out for peace and democracy. The UK must do all it can to…

Today marks the anniversary of my predecessor Bernie Grant’s passing. A stalwart of Tottenham and a tireless advocate for racial justice, he empowered a whole new generation of black politicians and paved the way for minorities across the country. His legacy continues to inspire.

Merci Emmanuel Macron.

Notre entente est cordiale, et nos engagements communs, comme celui aux côtés de l’Ukraine.

Face au retour de la guerre sur le continent, notre lien est plus crucial que jamais.

Long live the Entente Cordiale, vive l’amitié franco-britannique!

This is a personal piece for The Sun on the Union Jack — 🇬🇧

This is the flag that went into battle against Hitler’s racism and it doesn’t belong to the fascist thugs who once tried to intimidate me.

That’s why Labour proudly flies it.

The only person who can provide answers on the government's legal advice around continued arms sales to Israel is David Cameron.

He must stop dodging scrutiny, publish the legal advice and take questions from MPs.

It's vital the UK is not complicit in any breach.

Today I’ve written to David Cameron.

We can’t have a Foreign Secretary dodging scrutiny on arms sales to Israel. He must:

- Publish the foreign office legal advice.

- Take questions from MPs in the Bar of the House of Commons.

- Unequivocally commit to international law.

This is shocking. It's bad enough having a Foreign Secretary who avoids questions from MPs in the Commons. Now he's not answering journalists on one of the biggest issues of our time.

David Cameron must come clean and publish the legal advice on arms exports to Israel.

75 years ago, the great Labour foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, signed the North Atlantic Treaty.

Out of the ashes of WW2, we came together in defence of peace.

Today, it’s our best hope of defending our democratic values.

The horrifying deaths of John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby only deepen the serious concerns about Israel’s compliance with humanitarian law.

The government should publish its legal advice on arms exports. If David Cameron has received it, he must act on it.

.The Labour Party’s message to David Cameron and Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives is clear. Publish the legal advice now.

If it says there is a clear risk that UK arms might be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law, it's time to suspend the sale of those arms.

Shocked to hear that Taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years has devastated parts of the island this morning.

Images coming out of Hualien City have been frightening to witness and my thoughts go out to families who have been affected.

The UK must be prepared to assist.

Thurrock residents have been let down by the local Tory council and this rotten Tory government. Pleasure to join @thurrockjen and Cathy Sisterton on the doors this morning campaigning for local elections on 2nd May.

This is very worrying. There needs to be more freedom of the press in this conflict, not less.

The work journalists are doing in this war is vital - and they should be given full access to Gaza to report.

Reports of the death of British nationals – among others from World Central Kitchen – in an Israeli strike on Gaza are horrifying. Our thoughts are with the families of all of those killed.

Reports of aid workers from the UK and elsewhere killed in Gaza are horrifying.

Labour condemns this strike. There must be a full investigation and accountability.

The death toll of civilians in this conflict is intolerable. We repeat our call for an immediate ceasefire.

Ravi d'écrire sur ce que Pâques et cette saison de festivités sacrées signifient pour moi dans les pages du Le Grand Continent aux côtés de penseurs, d'écrivains et d'hommes politiques de toute l'Europe. Quelle joie de découvrir notre mosaïque civilisationnelle.
