As someone who grew up on a council estate, I know the difference a secure, decent home makes.

If I’m re-elected, we'll:

🏠 Deliver 6000 new rent control homes & provide free legal advice for renters

🏠 Build 40,000 new council homes

🏠 End rough sleeping for good

30 years ago today South Africa marked the end of Apartheid and on the 4th May 30 years ago South Africa elected its 1st Black president Nelson Mandela. South Africa now seems destined for a new era.

For years the privileged people in power in this industry dismissed ⁦Daniel Mays 🇺🇦💙⁩ as working class, a one trick pony but, as those of us who know him will attest, he has always been a true artist. He paints, dances, sings and is one of our finest actors. So proud ❤️

Let’s hope the workers who took part in the world’s largest general strike turn out to vote him out ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Well done to Burnley FC for making a statement and taking it seriously 👏

Canvass in Yeading in Hayes today. Cold, wet but smiling. Great reaction on doorstep, seeing lots of constituents I have met and helped over the years.

Today is Workers’ Memorial Day

It’s marked internationally to remember every worker whose life has been lost to fatal injury or occupational illness

It’s a very moving day to me.

…a thread 🧵

Whether you're in the UK, Ukraine, or anywhere else, if you're a worker, join a union, organise!

BREAKING:

The International Criminal Court will issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials this week, reports say.

The Israeli PM's office 'is worried' the International Criminal Court 'will soon issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi.' NOT for defending Israel but for committing war crimes. jpost.com/israel-hamas-w…
