What a privilege to be elected chair of @BOSLabour this evening. A campaigning CLP which turned a safe Lib Dem seat Labour red ๐น

Three years on from the October 7 attacks on Israel, we remember those who were senselessly killed by Hamas terrorists.
The impact of the attacks has been felt not just in Israel, but in Jewish communities across the world who still bear the burden of the tragic events that day.
In the years since, we have seen a disturbing rise in antisemitic behaviour in the UK.
A year ago we witnessed a horrifying terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester, with further attacks against Jewish people and institutions since.
I want Britainโs Jewish community to hear this from me directly. We stand with you. Abuse and violence against you, in any form, will not be tolerated. Not on our streets, not online, not in our schools or universities.
Thatโs why we are funding protection for synagogues, schools and community buildings, and why we will come down hard on antisemitism wherever it is found - in classrooms, on campuses and in neighbourhoods.
At home, we are committed to protecting our citizens from vile hatred. Abroad, we continue to work towards a two-state solution, with Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace and security.
An attack on Jewish people in Britain is an attack on all of us. Antisemitism has no place in this country, and we will do everything we can to stamp it out.

Replying to @VMMChamberlain
I would ditch them. Grow a pair!
The shadow business minister @BradleyThomasUK claimed in parliament that new apprenticeships fell 9% from 2023/24 to 2025/26.
They actually rose about 11%. Mr Thomas was using English data comparing an incomplete year with a whole one.

SDLP leader @ClaireHanna reacts to Trump's comments on Irish unity.
"I'm not sure if anybody has checked on the DUP. I suspect they're burning those Trump flags as we speak."

If these Pisa results don't change education policy in Scotland then we's be as well scrapping Holyrood. The evidence incontrovertible, and more will come soon from the other two global comparator studies we have (finally) rejoined. THERE IS NO EXCUSE

The loveliest of bosses, and someone who cared deeply about her community. But the kindly manner hid someone who got politics more than most. Sheโll be missed no more so than by her family who she adored x

New PISA data out
England is now top ten in all three areas (reading, maths, science) and the second highest performing country outside of east Asia (after Estonia).
This is a huge public policy success.

Iโm not usually one to defend Zack Polanski, but the idea he doesnโt have at least one single connection to Camden is just nonsense.
Look, here he is standing for the council there in 2015โฆ as a Lib Demโฆ during the austerity coalitionโฆ

Out of all the previous Prime Ministers who stood down as MPs in recent history after leaving office, Sir Keir Starmer is the only one whose family was targeted by a state sponsored firebombing, a fact which seems to have been entirely forgotten by everyone.
Bridget Phillipson talks about her childhood and men, elected politicians, pile in and explain to her she didnโt have the best upbringing she could have had.
I think sheโs done pretty well for herself lads.

For the avoidance of doubt I donโt believe this man should have *any* role in public life - because of both his racism and his view of women.
@KemiBadenoch youโve got this very, very wrong.

EXC: Michael Marra has announced he is standing to be Scottish Labour leader.
Speaking to the Daily Record, he said he wanted to restore the partyโs โmoral purposeโ, adding that Labour has to โlearnโ from their defeats and โchangeโ.

Honoured to become Chair of the Labour Party.
I joined our party as a teenager and saw first hand the difference a Labour government makes.
I'll work with members to build the election-winning machine that sees off Reform for good and secures a second Labour term.
