Lovely funeral service and tributes for Lord Rosser this morning at St Giles'Church, Ickenham. What shone through from every contribution was Richard's courtesy, his intelligence and his commitment to TSSA & The Labour Party, to The Pitching In Isthmian League and, most of all, his family. RIP

NIMBYism wastes time & taxpayers money - the share of rejected applicants over turned increased by 30% last year. “The cost of handling appeals rose to more than £30m in the last published financial reports for the Planning Inspectorate. Of those costs, roughly £10m was spent…

A disappointing result but a courageous second half. The gaffer can have this one. We go again #COYS

13 years of this…….. 🙄 #edballsday

I don't think anyone else will have noticed, so I'm dropping by to wish myself a happy 30th anniversary.

In what could be the final by-election of this Parliament, Thursday gives voters in Blackpool South the opportunity to vote for positive change in Chris Webb

It was great to be out to support Chris but wherever you are on Thursday, vote Labour.

'While Labour’s vetting procedures have come under intense scrutiny as Starmer has moved to remove antisemites...cases unearthed by The Jewish Chronicle suggest Conservatives may not have been as vigilant'

Well, well!

Sadiq's comments about the Chief Rabbi were inappropriate; he's listened to concerns raised by many of us and has rightly apologised to him.

Both of them have done a huge amount to promote strong inter-faith relations in London. Right now focussing on that must be our priority

Sadiq is right to apologise for his comments towards the Chief Rabbi.

The Chief Rabbi plays an invaluable role, representing our community and working with different faith communities.

It is vital our leaders work together to bring London together and celebrate our diversity.

The Chief Rabbi, along with other Jewish leaders, has been a friend to me, and we have worked hard together to unite our city and celebrate our diversity. I have been in contact with the Chief Rabbi to apologise for my comments.

PPS: This is more proof that the Conservative Party needs to stop entertaining populism and to confront it instead.

Nothing is ever enough for these bastards. A case of feeding the tiger until the day it decides to turn on you.

Great to speak with Nancy Pelosi today.

Always good to talk about politics in the UK and US, the unique bond between our two countries and how our collective values can bring prosperity and security across the world.

It was a joy to meet with Keir Starmer today in London to discuss our shared values for a better future in our communities, our countries and in the world.

I was at the London Jewish Forum hustings barely 10 days ago when Susan Hall said there was no such thing as a free lunch. What a U-turn!

The party which gave us Liz Truss wants to foist this utterly hopeless candidate on London. Speaks volumes abt how Sunak regards our city

'Congratulations, you've got the Tory candidate to perform a U-turn live on-air.'

Tom Swarbrick is bemused by Susan Hall's assertion that she has backed free school meals 'all along', despite saying last week that 'there is no such thing as a free lunch'.

On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone a happy St George’s Day.

Let us be proud of our national identity, confident on the world stage, and sure of our country’s future.

'This kind of wrecking ball approach helps nobody and just destroys relations which have taken so long to build up.'

Well worth a read (and a #shamelessplug ) from @mendelpol as he nails how two wrongs don't make a right.

Five things that would cost you less than what Rishi Sunak is spending to send one person to Rwanda 👇

Wishing the Jewish communities in the UK and across the globe a happy Passover.

Chag Sameach.
