Trump’s illegal war on Iran and enocidal threats are part of a dangerous new agenda. The Trump Doctrine means yet more war and ripping up international law. For too long, Britain has acted as the USA’s junior partner. It's time to pursue a truly independent foreign policy.

At PMQs today, I told the Prime Minister that to stop a Reform Government we need a return to real Labour values. That means real action to tackle poverty and inequality, a Wealth Tax on the super-rich, and an ethical foreign policy that takes a strong stand against war crimes.
Graduate debt is a national scandal. It is breaking a whole generation of young people. It’s time for a serious discussion about cancelling student debt. Instead, we should fund higher education through progressive taxation.
Trade union leaders, over 25 Labour MPs and members' groups have launched a new call to end the factional culture coming from the top of the Labour Party and to restore Labour democracy and members’ rights. 🌹Add your name to the call here: tinyurl.com/RestoreLabou...
Fossil fuel giants have driven us to the cliff edge of climate catastrophe while making obscene profits. I've brought a Make Polluters Pay Bill to Parliament to make those most responsible for the climate crisis fund the urgent action we need. Over 40 MPs have backed the Bill!
I've long campaigned for a Wealth Tax - and it’s great to see the call growing stronger by the day. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 BILLION per year. And polls show that 75% of the public supports a wealth tax! Together, we can win this!
In Parliament today I said the asylum announcement scrapes the bottom of the barrel and is a desperate attempt to copy Reform. We should be taking the fight to Reform - not trying to outdo them.
Nigel Farage is now talking about cutting the minimum wage for young people. Once again, instead of going after the super-rich, he attacks ordinary workers. So much for being a man of the people.
Merry Christmas to everyone in East Leeds and all across the country 🎄⛄ A huge thank you to all the NHS and emergency service workers, and to everyone in retail, hospitality and beyond, working through the holidays. Let’s build a world of peace, justice and equality in 2026.
UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010. Workers’ wages have barely risen since 2008. On Newsnight, I called for a tax on extreme wealth - that's the fairer alternative to cuts we need.
We can’t let Farage strip away the rights that help ordinary people stand up to the rich and powerful.
“I’m tired of people whining about it afterwards… go and vote” Andy Maciver reflects on the Scottish election results, and suggests that the system could function better if different, Scotland only, political parties ran for election to Holyrood.

‘Good Russians’ do exist. They either: A) admit that all adult Russians bear responsibility for the war B) fight for Ukraine C) all of the above ‘I would say that all Russians are to blame for this war.’ — ‘Caesar,’ one of the commanders of the ‘Freedom of Russia’ Legion
Former CIA Officer Joe Kent warns Israel might orchestrate a massive false flag terrorist attack against the US. He confirms the Zionist regime is desperate to keep Washington trapped in the Iran war and will use extreme deception to force compliance.

Once again, Donald Trump is off on an unhinged rant about the fairness of an election where votes didn't go his way. He cannot accept defeat. We will not allow him to silence the voices of American voters.

Came so close to another naneinf but ran out of runway. Frustrating to fail when you’re just a few hands away. Had money problems the whole time. But not a bad score in the end. I’ll take 8.406e241 any day.
JOSEPH BEUYS - FELT TV 1970 Fluxus the only Beuys action executed specifically for the camera. It opens with Beuys seated in front of a TV set showing a program which is invisible because the screen is covered by felt. The boxing-gloves used later in the action lie at the ready beneath his chair.

The video you are about to see is not a skit. It is a representation of true character creation in Dungeons & Dragons and Kobolds Ate My Baby. For the former, more than 20 minutes has been removed. For the latter, more then 2. What remains is what you've likely already seen. TBC

"Did the prime minister ask the question himself ever?" @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Cabinet Office Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds if Sir Keir Starmer questioned whether Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting before being made US ambassador. #Newsnight
Whatever your opinion on Brexit is, I don't think it should be controversial to say that in order to re-join the EU, there should be consent of the people.
For America 250 we could have had Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and others preform for our nation’s birthday if we had a Democrat in office. Now Trump is having even D-list celebrities cancel on him because he is turning the event into a party for and about himself.
I called out Reform's backwards vision on the future of coal. Whilst we fight for green jobs of the future, they call for reopening coal mines and fracking which would devastate our countryside.
