Today on the 35th anniversary of Hillsborough, I'll be thinking about those lost, their families, and their enduring courage and determination to pursue justice.

Making the Hillsborough Law a reality would be a priority of my Labour government.

🇬🇧'The far right thinks it owns the union flag. But it doesn't; it never has and that's why we need to have the flag at the heart of the Labour Party's patriotic campaign to rebuild public services in our country,' councillor Waseem Zaffar MBE writes: 👇 labourlist.org/2024/04/labour…

'Young Labour forces'? X's AI Grok thing is rather weird...

Great to have James Murray MP writing for us today on the nitty gritty of Labour's tax plans – and why it's so vital.

💼 Here's how Labour's new proposals today to plug the non-dom gap in its tax-and-spend plans will work:

🌹NEW: Pro-Starmer candidates win a landslide victory in elections for Labour Students and Young Labour posts.

Another setback for the left, as they were two of the few parts of the party where it was still strong - with majorities on both committees.

labourlist.org/2024/04/young-…

By my quick maths on results announced so far - the left has won just one of 19 roles on the Young Labour committee, and two of 19 on the Labour Students committee, with pro-Starmer candidates winning the rest.

Quite a radical turnaround...

New: Labour likely to use its powers to effectively take over the running of separate affiliate BAME Labour temporarily - on the basis its constitution allows that if it’s not properly functioning.

Apparently no AGM for years and certainly no reply when I’ve tried contacting.

Good to speak to the brilliant real Labour politician called Fiona Wilson - after Times Radio found a 'fictional' Labour MP Fiona Wilson polled better than some real shadow cabinet members...

An apt time to reshare our special investigation from Tom Belger last year on how schools have become the new welfare state

schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-now-pa…

Can't get over that there's been a *68%* increase *in one year* in the number of people who don't have enough food to *3.7 million* people and it's not anywhere near the biggest news story.

BREAKING 🚨 | The UN has said the Conservatives are 'demonising' disabled people through its 'traumatising' benefits system.

A special inquiry report found 'grave and systemic' violations of disabled people's rights under the Government's austerity and welfare reform measures.

This is a big development - the police are investigating a Labour selection process...

Wonder when the last time that happened was for any party.

🏠 #London Mayor Sadiq Khan is vowing to deliver 40,000 new council homes across the capital by the end of the decade.

Can't wait to chair this event on Thursday - do join us and share with anyone who may be interested.

It's a fascinating, vital theme with UK and US voters going to the polls this year.
