“The cost-effective way of getting more children out of poverty… is abolishing the two-child limit.” Former PM Gordon Brown calls on the government to drop the two-child benefit cap, arguing that there has been “a wrong diagnosis of the poverty problem” #Peston

Poverty should never be the price of policy. I won't support cuts that hurt our most vulnerable.

I've signed this amendment. Disabled people have not been consulted and we have not given enough time for the government’s reforms on employment support to work. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, we cannot risk a rushed Bill taking money off disabled people.

YL/LS are meant to be the voices of young people in our party. It is shameful that party leadership have stripped back and gutted our youth activist branches from a vehicle for a pro youth agenda to a glorified campaign team.

Getting really sick of Reform’s narrative being taken on by us. Our streets are full of emboldened racists abusing minorities, and pushing posts like this is just making it worse. People want to see positive changes in their lives - let’s focus on delivering that.

Full support to Bell standing for deputy leader. If elected Bell will be the voice of members & will help our party reconnect with our supporters. I’m urging Labour MPs to nominate Bell so that we can have a properly democratic election with candidates from all wings of our party

From workers’ rights to equalities, from the climate to civil liberties, from migration to global justice, Bell has shown herself to have consistent, principled, socialist politics. She’s pluralist, democratic and honest. I'm thrilled she’s running - she has my full support.

It's shocking to see so many 'allies' supporting Phillipson for deputy. She overruled select committees to appoint a transphobe as EHRC Chair. She supports Tory guidance to make teachers out trans pupils to their parents. Allies, please, vote for anyone but Phillipson.

A principled socialist and internationalist who stands up for the working class, Bell would be a fantastic deputy leader.

Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed. He should be immediately sacked.

It has long been known that Mandelson remained close to Epstein even after he was convicted of sex offences. He shouldn't have been appointed in the first place, and it is very clear that the Prime Minister must sack him immediately. We either stand with victims or we don’t.

We're excited to announce the first details of this year's Trans Solidarity Rally at Labour Party Conference - trans allies are here to stay in our labour movement 🏳️‍⚧️ Attending Labour Conference? Put this date in your diary 👇

🚨 NEW: Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has announced maintenance grants will be reintroduced for the most disadvantaged students in England

NEW: #LabourConference votes for urgent action against Israel, including: ✅ recognition of Israel’s genocide ✅ a full arms embargo ✅ end to UK-Israeli military cooperation It’s clear the labour movement stands united against genocide. Now the Government must take action.

Lucy Powell says her 21-year-old son and his friends have 'really struggled with me being in the Labour government these last 15 months' The deputy leadership hopeful said 'we're not attracting young people to our movement in the way we once did'

Today, I'm calling for the Two-Child Benefit Cap to be removed at the earliest possible opportunity. It's a Conservative policy that has kept too many families in poverty for too long, and scrapping it would lift thousands of children above the line.

Congratulations to Zohran Kwame Mamdani! Against all odds and billionaire-backed opponents, a democratic socialist has achieved a remarkable victory. The media are at pains to point out that Zohran is a savvy communicator and ran a fantastic ground campaign, but have played down the

The Labour right are jumping on the Mamdani bandwagon when in reality they have spent the last 5 years driving socialists out of Labour. Labour has a lot to learn from Mamdani's win but let's not get taken in by rank hypocrisy like this.
