Farrukh Allowing 1 party that never won the popular vote to disregard the UK Supreme Court & House of Lords is dangerously stupid.

We need an elected House of Lords, so it has the democratic legitimacy to tell the House of Commons you need to rethink.

If there are any Lib Dem or Green supporters who live in Teeside and follow this account- PLEASE consider voting for Chris McEwan - the Tories ruined the voting system precisely to try to keep people like Houchen in power- they must not be allowed to succeed LCER

Please make it so Chris McEwan … a defeat for Houchen will be a defeat for Johnson and the chaos, corruption and rotten standards he brought to our politics.

Really impressed with Krish’s campaigns on the environment, on minority rights and on disability rights. He also shares my views on Europe (we need to rejoin) and on PR - we need an electoral system that makes all votes meaningful. I think he’ll go far in The Fabian Society & The Labour Party

The reduction of streets to 20mph and 30mph is very welcome.

Why? Physics.

I share your bewilderment to a certain extent, Alastair, but the McCarthyites weren’t opposed to the oppressive centralism of Stalin, it was the communism that they hated. Putin is a far-right dictator- not so surprising that he appeals to the far right in USA, Hungary etc

$61 billion aid is a relief to millions of Ukrainians. Months of obstruction by the far right in EU and US is a warning. If they gain greater influence they can stop aid entirely. The Labour Movement must help Ukraine get the weapons to win and turn the tide against the far right

Councils across London are working hard to reduce air pollution, but the Government has just withdrawn vital funding to support this work

Along with air quality leads from 20 other boroughs, I've written to the Minister to raise our concerns about this latest U-turn 👇

As The Labour Party's environment and climate affiliate we are committed to working with them to help deliver the clean power alliance and other key environment and climate policy development and delivery - and campaigning to win the General Election!

Great to see David Lammy writing in the The Guardian that he recognises 'that the climate emergency is the defining challenge of the next century', and The Labour Party's proposed clean power alliance is the kind of diplomatic innovations required to address it theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'We are Labour Party members because we want a Labour government. We are Open Labour members because we want our party to deliver realistic yet radical policies which will enable people to live freer, happier lives,' Open Labour's Tessa Milligan writes: 👇 labourlist.org/2024/04/open-l…

Even though electoral registration is mandatory, millions of people are missing from the electoral register, and the ERS has long campaigned to lower this first barrier to voting. electoral-reform.org.uk/levelling-up-h…

It beggars belief that the Prime Minister could send Afghans who served alongside British troops to Rwanda.

Today the Lords have voted yet again to try to stop this from happening.

Tonight Luke Pollard MP and I have written to Ministers urging them to do the right thing.
