😍😍

Thank you for all your messages of support over this divisive letter. Thousands of pounds have been spent on this and the matter is being looked into by the Police.

Choose hope and unity over fear and division by voting for me and Sadiq Khan on May 2nd.

Don't let hate win.

That a moral panic has been whipped up in so many newspapers, with column inches dedicated to defending the tax breaks given to private schools, is a reflection of just how socially exclusive our media profession is.

Exclusive polling for Left Foot Forward by Savanta UK finds that more voters support Labour's plans to end VAT exemption on private school fees (42%) than oppose (23%), despite the attacks in recent weeks from the right-wing press.

The UK is facing a hidden poverty crisis among 60-65 year olds, with one in four living in poverty. That's almost 1.2 million people.

An important and timely report from the The Fabian Society
on what can be done to help tackle poverty.

Liz Truss crashed the economy and working people are still paying the price. She now claims to have 'unfinished business.'

With Sunak planning more unfunded tax cuts - a continuation of the Truss agenda - it's clear Britain can't afford more Tory economic chaos!
