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

I've blogged for Progressive Britain on Sunak's defence gambit ...

The GOV.UK's lack of support or any long-term plan for steel is being used by Tata Steel UK to push through unnecessary & destructive plans on its workers. This is an industry crucial to the economy of #SouthWales & to our national security which can & should have a bright future.

BREAKING: Despite significant Republican opposition, President Biden’s National Security and Foreign Aid legislation has passed the Senate. President Biden has restored U.S. leadership at the world stage.

'No apology for Trump, for Enoch Powell, or Lee Anderson? You're unfit to be the Mayor.'

Sadiq Khan challenges Susan Hall on her 'record of dividing communities'.

Incredible. Conservative London mayoral candidate Susan Hall now tells LBC she's backed universal free school meals for primary school children all along 'and that can be documented'.

Here she is just earlier this month calling them 'wrong' and twice saying she'd scrap them

Great to have front page coverage of our The Labour Party & Co-operative Party campaign to #EndRetailCrime in the Bournemouth Echo today.

No one should go to work in fear. I am proud to support this campaign & Labour’s plan to tackle anti-social behaviour in our town centres.

This is a lot easier to announce than deliver. This promise is for 2030 when the MOD doesn't currently have a budget for 2025/26... and announcing it outside of a fiscal event means trade-offs/how it's funding is completely ignored

Don’t inject bleach.

And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach.

🚨 BREAKING: We've forced the government to rethink its cheap and nasty proposals for connecting Liverpool and Manchester.

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-fire…: we have launched a collection of money and equipment in response to the appeal from their union

Devastating but true from Sadiq Khan 👇🏽 Hall is no joke - her divisive rhetoric is dangerous and does not belong in a mainstream party

🌹 60,000 jobs
🌹 35,000 training courses funded each year
🌹 30,000 apprenticeships
🌹 30,000 homes

✅ I'm proud of the progress we've made in the last 7 years - but it's just the start.

🗳️ Vote The Labour Party on 2 May and, together, we'll take back our future from Westminster.

The UK is to boost its defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. That’s very important:
- funding crisis on new kit goes away (for now…)
- vital reinvestment in ammo stocks
- answer criticisms from former minister Rt Hon James Heappey MP + Tory back benchers
- challenge to Labour to match

I met Kristo on the Labour International Group's trip to the Estonian Parliament ... he's biking to Kyiv ... please support 👇🏽
