These are the eight prisoners taking part in what is thought to be the biggest hunger strike in UK history since Irish republicans began refusing food in 1981.

Tonight it has emerged that five of them have been taken to hospital.

Two haven't eaten for nearly 39 days.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Labour’s defeat in Runcorn was entirely avoidable — and is the direct result of the party leadership’s political choices.

By pushing policies like cuts to disability benefits and scrapping the winter fuel allowance, the leadership is driving away our own voters — and letting Reform squeeze through.

The Labour leadership must urgently change course and govern with real Labour values to deliver the change people are crying out for.

It should start by ditching the plans to cut disability benefits and increase taxes on the wealthiest instead.

If it fails to deliver that real change, things could get far worse, with Reform waiting in the wings. And the consequences of that would be horrific for those our Party exists to represent.
