Switch on BBC2 at 13:20 tomorrow to see Quakers in Britain on Songs of Praise >>

I condemn the airstrike by Israel on a school in Gaza, with reports of dozens of civilian deaths. An immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages is a priority. It’s time for the slaughter to stop.

The Muslim community has been a part of our town for years. This may be the work of a racist minority but we've got a lot to do.

Just to say: I completely agree with this column. Do read. There can be no excuses. The UK riots were violent racism fomented by populism theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Quakers join 17 others urging the UK to suspend ALL arms exports to Israel. Suspending 30 out of 350 licenses is recognition of clear risk that Israel is using UK arms to violate international law in Gaza. But it’s not enough. #endarmsexports 💔🕊️⚖️ ow.ly/PTZL50Tf9Ym

Bit of a rant today I'm afraid. Rage at cutting winter fuel allowance, yet binning social care reform was infinitely bigger choice. Tory candidates say they want to reduce state, no ideas how. Govt goes on about £22bn "black hole" as if a surprise. Time to get serious. Please.

🎉 We are delighted to have appointed Ursula O’Hare as our new Head of Northern Ireland. Ursula will lead the establishment of our new team and will be joining us early in 2025. 1/2

Attended a very moving house of mourning with our Palestinian community last night. One man listed all the family members of his who have been killed in the last few weeks, the grief they carry is impossible to comprehend. We ended with Muslim & Christian prayer #CeasfireNow

The five-week wait for first Universal Credit payments is forcing some into the hands of paramilitary and other illegal money lenders. It's time to scrap it. That's why we've launched our No More Time to Wait document, to tackle the issues head-on: allianceparty.org/no_more_time_t… 🧵

📢 Even very high levels of 'growth' unlikely to address poverty. Our research shows that a strong economy alone will not move the dial on poverty during this Parliament. The government must include poverty reduction as part of its approach to long term and lasting growth. 1/4

Great to be at our Trussell Joseph Rowntree Foundation The New Statesman event discussing how we end the moral scar of the need for emergency food with Liz Kendall Antonia Bance MP Emma Revie & John, our lived experience expert & foodbank trustee. #LabourConference2024
