Diane Abbott is MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington

Labour offers companies “Breakfast with the Business Secretary” for £30,000. Cash for croissants.

This is an historic injustice doe to the Chagos Islanders and there is much more to be done to correct it. But this is an overdue first step.

The officer who shot Chris Kaba was 'angry and frustrated', court told. and marksman 'exaggerate his attempts to flee.'

Very sad news about Herman Ouseley - a pioneer at the top levels of local government RIP

It is not an incursion. It is an invasion of a sovereign country. Made possible by the US, which just wrings its hands at every outrage, then ships more weaponry.

When is an invasion not an invasion? When the IDF is doing a “limited, localised and targeted ground operation against Hezbollah” #LebanonUnderAttack

Rock bottom racism from Robert Jenrick

Jenrick copying Trump’s anti-migrant rhetoric. Next he will be claiming that Muslims eat family pets

Ashworth has so little tactical sense that he did not realise he was crashing to defeat in his own constituency. The answer to the problems at number 10?

Bringing Jamaican teachers to the UK but underpaying them, mirrors the Windrush years when Jamaican nurses were exploited in exactly the same way.

Interviewing me on @TheNewsAgents Emily Maitlis claimed that @jeremycorbyn was too close to Putin
But there were British politicians who were much closer to Putin than Jeremy
@maitlis

It is widely believed Netanyahu wants war at all costs, in order to cling to office.
But the US is not paralysed. There are many things it could do to bring about peace. It chooses not to.

Time to renationalise Thames Water - without compensation ⁦@FT⁩

Wes Streeting: “to share data, partner with innovators, and adopt new technologies at scale.”
But all of this means working with the private sector and draining money from our NHS

It is still not too late to ditch the Winter Fuel Payment cut

The average person on benefits does not have any money in their bank account. It goes straight in and straight out

Streeting claims people giving big money to political parties are the same as people who donate to animal charities. Nonsense. People give money to political parties to buy politicians.

I hope that, even at this late stage, the leadership listens to ordinary Labour Party members.

Good grief! That splashing sound you hear is of yet another rat leaving the sinking ship @michaelgove

Just heard @Keir_Starmer on @BBCr4today claiming that the decision about whether to let @HackneyAbbott back into @UKLabour has “nothing to with him” It has EVERYTHING to do with him

A few days ago I wrote that Sunak was calling a general election on security, how false that is and how to respond to it.
Sometimes history happens fast.

Our universities are under threat, as well as all the jobs, businesses and communities that rely on them.
It was a stupid idea to curb student visas and it is welcome that the government has been forced to U-turn.

Sunak U-turns on student visa plans

People like John Woodcock want to close down protest simply because he doesn't agree with it. The right to protest is a fundamental one, and must be defended.

Excellent work by @libertyhq. Our rights are under threat and we need to defend them vigorously.

US and Israel can get bombs to work, sometimes even precision bombs to work, but the cannot do the same for a harbour pier?
Hard to avoid the conclusion that the whole thing is a distraction.

This will be welcomed by any reasonable person.

Tories complain about how much it costs to police peace marches. Meanwhile the US Embassy owes TFL £14,645,025 in unpaid congestion charges

We should start by scrapping the 2-child benefit cap, which is easily affordable.

The funding model does not work. And scrapping student visas could be the final straw for some of our universities, which would be disastrous.

The hostile environment has not gone away.

Wes Streeting still going on about using “spare capacity” in private health to cut NHS waiting lists. Instead of boosting profits in the private sector, why doesn’t Wes just pay NHS doctors and nurses properly?

Streeting seems to think immigrants are “overburdening”the NHS. But without immigrants - including my mother’s generation of nurses from the Caribbean - there would be no NHS.
