Enjoyed being in Blackpool today going out campaigning for Labour’s fantastic local candidate Chris Webb.

Frank Field was an exceptional campaigner and politician who made an enormous contribution to tackling poverty and disadvantage. From CPAG to Parliament he showed complete fearless integrity and was never afraid of speaking out with radical ideas. We will all miss him

Wishing the Jewish communities in the UK and across the globe a happy Passover.

Chag Sameach.

I've signed The Times and The Sunday Times campaign calling on the Govt to pay compensation to those infected & affected by the contaminated blood scandal.
Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈 has been brilliant in spearheading this campaign.
With 2 victims dying each week, there must be no delay

This decision is a big step in the right direction. I certainly hope the Govt follows this lead and moves from freezing to seizing Russian assets held in the UK.

Today I spoke to Times Radio about why our new Economic Crime Manifesto is needed.

Whether it's tax evasion, money laundering or illicit wealth pouring into our property market, we are awash with dirty money.

The UK's economic crime epidemic is a multibillion pound problem.

It seems the Mayor of Brussels has more power than the PM to stop Tory MPs from attending this far right conference. Pathetic.

Yet again, a major British bank has aided and abetted a sanctioned Iranian individual, undermining the UK's national interest & assisting a hostile state.

We must hold banks and executives to account when they facilitate wrongdoing & sanctions evasion.

This shows what’s corrupt & wrong with our system. Rich people donating millions to buy access to top politicians.

We need an independent Electoral Commission with more transparency, proper checks & caps on individual donations, with prosecution powers.

🚨 1/3 Coverage of our new report 📰 with Tax Justice UK in today's The Times and The Sunday Times.

An excellent write-up from James Hurley, ft. Margaret Hodge, who describes the UK as “the jurisdiction of choice for dirty money” 💰

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Britain's network of offshore tax havens must open public registers of beneficial ownership.

It's high time that we follow the dirty money flowing into these havens. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

It is sickening to see a Tory former Home Secretary lining up to speak alongside far right racists, homophobes, antisemites and Islamophobes. If Sunak has any authority left he will stop Braverman attending or remove the whip. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Joe is a brilliant campaigner against corruption and injustice. I know that if he is elected he will do incredible work speaking truth to power. I wish him all the best.

Wishing everyone who is celebrating over the coming days a happy and peaceful Eid al-Fitr.

Eid Mubarak.

(((Dan Hodges))) John McTernan Your article said that the precise amount of time she spent at Vicarage Road made a big difference. It doesn’t. 2/2

It’s really silly to write about tax without speaking to a tax adviser first. Same for dentistry or quantum mechanics.
