I just ordered my Together Alliance poster/leaflet/sticker pack to show that my community stands for unity and hope. 🤞
Order yours and start sticking it to hate, racism and fear in your neighbourhood...

If we want 2026 to be a year of political renewal, we should look to the politics of Robin Cook for inspiration.

Robin Cook showed us politics at its most serious. Labour has lost that balance
Delivering the Robin Cook memorial lecture was one of the greatest privileges of my time in Parliament. But it wasn’t just a privilege – it was a burden too. The name Robin Cook still carries a weight...

1/2 Trump has launched an illegal act of aggression against Venezuela.
A clear breach of the Nuremberg principles - which the UK helped write. Now a Labour government won’t even defend them.
This silence isn’t diplomacy. It’s the moral equivalent of a white flag.

’Tis the season for presents and goodwill. In Westminster, especially over the Christmas period, the giving of gifts, freebies and swanky receptions for MPs, their advisors and colleagues go into overdrive.

Gifts, temptation and the colossal corrosion of politics
At Westminster, gifts and freebies aren’t simple goodwill, but rather part of the slow pull of money that turns heads, normalises privilege and corrodes public service

1/5 Labour’s Child Poverty Strategy marks a step forward. Its aim is to ease the stress and suffering of around 550,000 children and families. This only counts if backed by clear targets and funding.

If the cost of living crisis won’t move this government, maybe the collapse of their climate programme will.
After 35 years of privatisation:
- No new major water reservoirs built
- 3bn litres lost to leaks every day
- £85bn taken in dividends.
Public ownership is the only credible fix.

The Reform has dropped the act, openly Thatcherite. The Conservatives are copying them to save their skins. The best way to cut support for the authoritarian right is to stand with people against profiteers in water and energy, and give real security.

1/2 Today’s Budget has some welcome steps, including ending the two-child limit and the start of council tax reform.
But it’s tactical, not strategic.
Britain needs a plan that taxes wealth fairly, devolves real power, and brings essential utilities back under public control.
