@TomBaldwin66 I’m not sure losing a by-election does us any good either, Tom.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I am disappointed by today’s NEC decision and concerned about its potential impact on the important elections ahead of us.

To whoever is Labour’s candidate and to our members in Manchester and Tameside: you will have my full support and I will be there whenever you need me.

Burnham associates local government finance settlement with rise of Reform. Nail on the head.

🚨🎥 WATCH: Andy Burnham says Keir Starmer has created a "climate of fear" within Labour

“How do we reconnect with the public if an MP loses the whip for trying to protect disability benefits or scrap two-child benefit cap… when debate is closed”

[Richard Johnson @richardmarcj]

These are horrendous. What a damning indictment

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

A landmark UN commission of inquiry report has confirmed that Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The government cannot continue hiding from this reality.

We need a full arms embargo, an end to military cooperation and wide-ranging sanctions.

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

Unfortunately, I have not secured the high number of nominations required to proceed in the deputy leadership contest.

I am disappointed that the full range of Labour members’ views will not be represented on the ballot paper.

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

I am standing to be Deputy Leader because I believe this Labour Government urgently needs to go back to the guiding values of our party and movement, and deliver an ambitious programme of popular, progressive policies.

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza

[Theo Bertram @theobertram]

Here's the problem. People think council tax pays for bins. What they don't realise is that council tax is - absurdly - how we pay for care in this country.

Your council tax is going on the rising cost of adult social care as more people live longer & need more care. Not bins.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Israel's siege is starving the people of Gaza.

We have joined more than 100 aid and rights groups to demand action - before there is no one left to save.

Tonight the Knesset has voted overwhelmingly to annex the West Bank, a symbolic move that would be illegal under international law, risks further destruction and ethnic cleansing, and serves a death knell for the two state solution.

We must recognise the state of Palestine now.

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

The killing of children queueing for aid and deliberate starvation of Palestinian people is utterly evil.

The Government must act to stop Israeli war crimes. I've signed a letter calling to:

▪️ Impose sanctions.
▪️ Ban trade with illegal settlements
▪️ End arms sales to Israel

[Shehab Khan @ShehabKhan]

Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

🚨Israel just bombed the very Gazan church Pope Francis used to call daily during the genocide

They injured the very priest, Gabriele Romanelli, who used to update the Pope on the situation.

2 church goers were killed, 6 wounded.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
