[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Alongside a cross-party group of MPs, I have written to Chris Bryant, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, urging him to intervene and halt the proposed Orange Order march along Garvaghy Road.

We cannot allow old wounds to be reopened, divisions to be deepened and further harm caused across the entire community.

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

As smaller artists this week have delivered a masterclass in solidarity and courage against censorship on Palestine, it was incredibly fitting to watch the small but mighty Artists Union move this motion.

It means the TUC has officially adopted support for the Palestinian led boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for the first time.

Please check out the latest report from this weeks NEC meeting.

Lots covered including conference arrangements, rule changes, questions with the leader and party finances.

As always, get in touch if you have any questions or issues you want to raise!

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

The announcements today represent a significant shift from the Labour government, and let’s be clear, these would not have come without the resolve of millions of people who have marched, campaigned and refused to be silent on Palestine.

[Brian Leishman @BrianLeishmanMP]

Lies from him to the end.

The Labour Party wasn’t in financial ruin and for him to say moral ruin is laughable considering the scandals and mistakes that defined his leadership.

Many good people ran out of the party under Starmer by his factionalism and purging of socialists.

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

Congratulations to @JessicaLBarnard and @gembolton on your elections to the NEC 👏

I also want to pay tribute to @Yasmine_Dar for your many years of service on the NEC, consistently standing up for our members and our movement. Thank you ✊

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

Although @yasmine_dar was not re-elected, she has served Labour members with commitment and principle.

She has been fearless in standing up for a transformative and democratic Labour Party.

We want to thank her for her vast contributions to Labour’s NEC.

[Rathi Guhadasan @rathisochealth]

I’ve voted - have you?

Support @JessicaLBarnard @gembolton @Yasmine_Dar - already doing a fabulous job on the NEC ❤️

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

A welcome and necessary intervention from Sadiq.

We cannot ignore the climate crisis, which will impact and threaten the livelihood of all workers.

Trade union leaders and the wider labour movement should be making this case loud and clear.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Proud to be one of 10 unions signing this.

Revoking permission for US use of UK bases would have a significant impact on the US’s ability to further escalate a war that has been a catastrophic for the Middle East and an economic disaster worldwide.

A measure of Labour's new leadership is whether they are prepared to return our Party to a broad church. It is a badge of shame that Diane has been without the whip so long; it must be restored immediately if genuine support and trust is to be rebuilt:

Increasing military spending will not help ordinary people, it will boost the profits of arms companies and make us less secure in an increasingly volatile world.

The Government must invest in communities, not an arms race.
