Whilst Green councils are attempting a legal challenge against @MayorofLondon, the Green Party's long record of opposition to new council and social rent homes in the capital speaks for itself.

Great to be out with @HaringeyLabour volunteers supporting @ajdao in the Northumberland Park by-election.

If you live in the ward, it's essential that you cast your vote on Thursday 25 June. Every vote matters! 🌹🗳️

Another Islamophobic and Antisemitic policy from the party that previously wanted to ban halal meat. I hope all Green supporters feel great shame this evening.

This hasn’t gone viral the way it should.

Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos.

He stood right there and begged one of them:

“This is my house. This is my house.”

They didn’t care.

They burned it anyway.

“They’ve done it to one of their own.”

These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.

"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."

Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM

Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

Inflation is down today, in part thanks to action we've taken on energy bills.

But the price of electricity is still set by global gas rates, despite half of our electricity coming from renewables.

So we're taking steps to fix that too.

Let me explain 👇

[Vincent Stops @VincentStops]

Voter registration closed on 20 April. Last day for a postal vote was 21 April.

On 3 May @Zackpolanski published an insta video saying “You’ve got my vote Zoe” (@ZoeGarbett in Hackney). On 7 May he told Sky he had postal voted. 14 May he was forced to admit none of this was true.

Where was he ‘normally resident on 20 April?. The ‘security’ cover up is not credible. None of this is credible @benellery @NeilGarratt

Did @ZoeGarbett know any of this when she took part in the video?

Local reporting is that he was not ‘normally resident’ in Hackney, but staying in her Cllr colleague’s family home.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

I know the news Andy Burnham has a route back to Westminster will divide opinion. So, before anything else, I want to speak plainly – to Labour members and voters, to those who have left us, and to anyone on the centre-left, whether you vote Green, Lib Dem, or are simply looking for a politics that hasn't given up on you.

Last week's local election results were, for many of us, existential. Not disappointing. Not a setback. Existential. Look across Europe and beyond at what happens to social democratic parties that refuse to step outside the economic orthodoxy of the last forty years – the one that hollowed out our public services, privatised what was ours, drove inequality to indecent levels, and cleared the ground for the authoritarian right to march into. That is the path we are on. Keir Starmer has refused to see it, and the country cannot afford another general election spent finding out the hard way.

So let me be direct. The Prime Minister should set out a timeline for an orderly transition. I have said this before. I say it again now because the stakes have changed. Reform is not a protest – it is a project. And it will not be beaten by a Labour Party that mistakes managerial caution for strategy.

As regards Andy, I want to set down here that I do not see him as some kind of messiah. Far from it. As someone who has been around frontline politics for more than twenty years, he has made his fair share of mistakes. But for the last ten years he has been a serious, grounded, and effective Mayor of Greater Manchester. The party and the country need their strongest players on the pitch, and he has a great deal to offer at a moment when the national stage has rarely mattered more. I hope the NEC will listen to the overwhelming view of the Cabinet, the PLP, the membership, and the unions, and let Andy stand. And I hope and believe the people of Makerfield will send him back to Parliament.

But that is not a given. We know Reform will throw everything at this by-election. We must do the same and then some. Reform have spent a year being told they are inevitable. Makerfield is where we find out whether that is true. Every advance has a limit. This is where we set it.

Millions of people, including my constituents in Norwich South, need this government to succeed. They need housing, working public services, secure jobs, water and energy that serves them rather than extracts from them. That work is not finished. But the honest truth is that stopping Reform and rebuilding the country is bigger than any one party. It will take a progressive politics willing to listen, willing to cooperate where the public interest demands it, and willing to drop the tribal habits that got us here. The country is ahead of us on this. It is time we caught up.

Makerfield is one of many places where Labour has lost trust. It is an area Andy knows and has lived in for many years. If selected, he will work hard to win that trust back and make the case for a Labour Party worth voting for again. That case has to be made not only to people who once voted Labour, but to everyone who believes the answer to Reform is a serious, democratic, social alternative – not a paler imitation of the politics that created the problem.

This by-election is not about one seat. It is a test of whether Labour understands the moment we are in. No single party is going to stop Reform on its own. The progressive majority in this country is real – but it is scattered across Labour, the Greens, the Lib Dems, nationalists, independents, and millions of people who have stopped voting altogether. Our job is not to demand they all come back to us. It is to earn the right to work with them, on shared ground, for a shared future.

To former Labour voters: come and talk to us again. To Green and Lib Dem voters: we are not enemies. To Labour members and MPs: this is the fight. Let's get on with it.

A Labour London council leader who lost her own seat to the Green surge in Haringey, Peray Ahmet, told me the PM needs to take responsibility for the “absolute disaster” Labour faced, and said it was “not a case of if” but of “when, he should leave his position”.

I met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, @Keir_Starmer. In Ukraine, we appreciate all the steps the United Kingdom has taken to support our people and weaken the aggressor, including efforts to counter Russia’s shadow fleet. We discussed this with Keir today. We also paid significant attention to defense support for Ukraine, in particular contributions to the PURL initiative.

Ukraine is ready for the next round of negotiations in a trilateral format. The negotiation process to achieve a just and dignified peace was also among the topics of our discussion. We appreciate the United Kingdom’s position on continuing pressure on Russia. This is truly important.

We separately discussed support for Ukraine’s energy sector. I briefed the Prime Minuster on the situation on the battlefield and Russia’s strikes against Ukraine. It is important for Europe to coordinate its efforts and develop a joint air defense system to protect against threats from Russia.

[Peray Ahmet @perayahmet]

I’m confused.

In an area where we have built around 800 council homes (at council rent), invested millions in the parks, the Greens have put out a leaflet saying we’re ‘complacent’ and they will ‘hold us to account’.

Does this look like complacency 👇🏼

We are pledging to keep all of our libraries open if elected.

We have kept all of our libraries open despite the financial challenges.

This is a political choice. A Haringey Labour choice.

Phone theft is a global menace, but we’re fighting back in London.

Working with the Met and tech companies, we're making it harder for criminals to reset and resell stolen devices.

Last year, thefts dropped by 10,000 - but there is still more to do ⬇️

Today in history | From our 2026 Racial Justice Calendar 🗓️

On this day in 1994, South Africans went to the polls in the country’s first non-racial democratic elections, marking a turning point in our history.

Held four years after the unbanning of liberation movements and the release of political prisoners, the elections paved the way for a new democratic order and the establishment of a Government of National Unity.

Nelson Mandela was elected as South Africa’s first democratically elected president, with F. W. de Klerk serving as Deputy President.

This moment signalled not only the end of apartheid, but the beginning of a shared responsibility to build an inclusive, and democratic society.

More moments like this are captured in our 2026 Racial Justice Calendar, bringing history into daily focus.
