I’ve never seen a political party so desperate to make local elections all about potholes as Labour is this year

A war-crimes complaint will be filled in Britain against ten British citizens who joined Israeli forces to fight in Gaza -- another warning that the impunity for war crimes that Israeli soldiers enjoy in Israel does not extend to the rest of the world. trib.al/bmvVUou

🗣️ "We are smashing through records getting more and more hard-working councillors elected" says Adrian Ramsay MP from our 2025 local election campaign launch.

'There is a moral vacuum at the heart of western politics, that much is certain.' Furious series of reader letters in The Guardian today on Gaza, the killings of aid workers, and the Labour party's complicity. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

The PM should take this morally reprehensible suggestion off the table. The idea that he would cut tax obligations for some of the biggest companies in the world controlled by some of the very richest people to appease President Trump is an insult tinyurl.com/4uz2a395

I agree the West of England mayor election will be very close. One of us may win with just c.25% of the vote. Every vote will matter. May 1st could be a long night! How accurate the count is will matter. If you want Green #VoteGreen 💚🗳️✅ The Green Party Bristol Green Party

We agree these deplorable attacks by Israel must end. However, words without action do nothing to bring an end to Israel's atrocities. The UK Government must: 🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel 🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity 🔴 Take all

Reminds me of what Sir Roger Moore — an excellent ambassador for UNICEF — once said. What honesty is the point of fame if you don’t put it to the service of humanity?

Today, we mark the establishment of diplomatic relations between #Norway and the State of #Palestine. Congratulations to the newly appointed Palestinian ambassador Marie Antoinette Sedin on the presentation of her credentials to His Majesty King Harald.

UK Government is amending its #PlanningBill, speeding up major infrastructure projects by allowing developers to choose who they consult. This amounts to freezing voices out of the process right from the start, on projects which have the biggest impact for nature of all.

This week we commemorate 80 years since the end of World War II in Europe. Today, and every day, we all have a responsibility to ensure the words 'never again' are meaningful.

I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension. If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.

Bravery

Pssst, The Labour Party members… There is an alternative that already supports these things: The Green Party

"You're sat there saying 'oh, please think of the billionaires'. Zack Polanski lays out the need to tax the super-rich properly on GMB.
