As ever, Nick Lowles is spot on. When it comes to taking on the far right, progressives haven’t got a moment to waste in building a vision of togetherness we can unite the country behind. Plenty to reflect on from his Guardian interview 👉 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

From political advisor to MP to Secretary of State to LOTO to the backbenches to Energy Secretary once more - you can’t look at the last 3 decades of Labour and climate without running into Ed Miliband. Hear from the man himself about what has been and what is still to come. 👇

Hitchin is a beautiful part of our beautiful country 🇬🇧 But after last week’s scenes in London and pockets of disrespectful graffiti, our communities aren’t immune from the same fears felt by many. It’s important we all step up and showcase our values at their unifying best.

🧵 Govt announcement on Pride in Place has gone under the radar given everything else, but importance of place shouldn't be underestimated. Our work with UCL Policy Lab and Citizens UK finds those who feel most disconnected are also most likely to say their area is neglected.

Almost four years after the term was coined (below), I'm chairing an event on 'The Politics of Deliverism' at this years #Lab25. Is deliverism enough to win? Come along if you're free (and have a conference pass!)

Really proud of this one - thank you to Ed/ Lewis/ all who joined for such a good and fired up chat yesterday! As Ed said - 'What's the f*cking point of politics? The point of politics is to go out and argue for things.' Personally I'm always ready for the argument.

Unsurprisingly quick standing ovation (the 4th so far!) for a library in every primary school line in the Chancellor’s speech. We all love a library ! #Lab25

A school library in every primary school. A European Youth Experience Scheme. Guaranteed work for all young people. These are things that only a Labour Chancellor would deliver. Could not be prouder of my sister.

Loved chairing this panel! There’s so much in the skills agenda that tells a proper Labour story about who we are for. Excited to see Chris McDonald MP take up the ministerial mantle to drive this forward.

Fantastic end to the 2nd day of #LAB25 with the Labour Climate and Environment Party sponsored by Gren Energy With speeches from Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 and Ed Miliband showing how key climate and environmental ambition is to the Labour movement "Pessimism never won a single victory"

This morning's attack is absolutely shocking. I’m on my way back to London to chair an emergency meeting, and additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country. We will do everything we can to keep our Jewish community safe.

Matthew Patrick MP (@matthew_patrick) 's Twitter Profile Photo

This morning's attack at a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, is appalling. I’m a Jewish MP. At Yom Kippur, our community asks for forgiveness. We fast and we atone for our failings. Hoping we do better for the year ahead.

We are all horrified by the abhorrent attack on a Manchester Synagogue this morning. Our thoughts are with those who have died, were injured and everyone affected. We are working to support our residents and Manchester stands with our Jewish community at this darkest of moments

For ~20yrs the Climate Change Act has powered clean growth & climate action Proud to co-ordinate 124 MPs & Peers to urge the Conservatives, don’t scrap it Turning climate leadership into a political football puts our economy, security & children’s future at risk #ClimateAction

At a time when patriotism can feel as as contested as ever, this is a bloody lovely ode to so much of what we love about Britain from Sof. in Renewal. Well worth a read 👉 renewal.org.uk/blog/mr-blobby…
