Why was Mandelson appointed despite everything known about him? Because it served a tiny faction in the Labour Party - backed by big business donors - who wanted him at the heart of power as part of their plan to shift the party away from what a real Labour government should be.

The super-rich who run our society always use “divide and rule.” They blame migrants so people don’t see who’s really behind the crisis. Migrants didn’t underfund the NHS, make housing unaffordable or hike energy bills. That was the super-rich - and their rigged economic model.

We can’t let Farage strip away the rights that help ordinary people stand up to the rich and powerful.

This Saturday, I’m joining the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march for unity against the far right. People are really struggling. But instead of offering real alternatives to our rigged economy, the far-right are scapegoating migrants and minorities. Join us. Let’s show hope will win over hate!

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.

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!

I was proud to join constituents at the Stand Up To Racism counter-demo in East Leeds. The far right offers no answers - just division. We need to build a mass movement against racism and the scapegoating of migrants and minorities and for a better society for the 99%.

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.

From my speech to the amazing togetheralliance.bsky.social demo. Hatred will not build a single council house. Division will not fund our NHS. Racism will not lower a single energy bill. TOGETHER we will take on Farage’s lies and fight for real solutions to the crisis people face.

Your vote hits different in a primary. 🗳️💥 200,000 show up in November. Maybe. But only 40,000 decide who makes it there. Grab 100 friends. Grab 500. The primary is where your vote has outsized impact. Low turnout = high leverage. Stop waiting for the general. Start swinging the election now.
