It’s the 120th anniversary of the adoption of the name the Labour Party. Today, there’s a growing call across the Labour & trade union movement about the need to restore democracy & members’ rights in the Party. If you agree, sign up to the statement in this video.

Good that Labour parliamentarians @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social and many others have moved quickly urging the Home Secretary to drop the ban on Palestine Action that has proved “extremely counterproductive to public order, community cohesion and trust in the Government”

The inquiry into Mandelson’s appointment must continue. It is not only his relationship with Epstein that has done damage but also the UK gov’s relationship with Trump which he led on.

Letter: Will Roberts is right to call for Palestine Action’s proscription to be lifted, and to celebrate that the prisoners stopped short of dying. But we should not overstate the effectiveness of their actions either.

Raytheon contract not really a victory
The main celebrated “victory”, that a British Army contract was handed not to Elbit Systems UK but instead to Raytheon UK, was not really a victory at all.

Mandelson stitched up Labour in Parliament to be compliant to Starmer and his appointment as Ambassador.
My CLP was denied a fair selection and was ripped apart by such factionalism.
As Mandelson & others are removed Labour must undo that purge. That is its only hope.

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.

Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.

But Guardiola is right.

We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

VP Vance had initially joked about the day’s events where Musk had called for Trump to be replaced by him - needing 2/3 of Congress.
3 hours later (midnight in Washington) Vance is compelled to stand by Trump. It would be good to know of the exchange between Trump and his VP in those three hours.

Alaa Abd el-Fattah continues to be held unlawfully.

His mother, Leila Soueif, is on hunger strike and may soon die.

The government must act urgently for Alaa's immediate release, with concrete pressure on the Egyptian government and through the International Court of Justice.

On Tuesday, a letter signed by over 1300 academics was sent to the heads of Israel’s academic system, calling for an end to the war, warning of "moral collapse" across the country.

The tide is changing in Israel against the Govt and its war of annihilation.
