One other way we can check if PIP claims are for the people it was intended for is by looking at the success rate for people applying for the benefit. If it’s rising this would indicate the system is becoming more lenient. But we find it’s fairly static

What we're seeing on our streets is fascism, and naming it is the first step to defeating it. These are not protests but white supremacist riots. They are attacking communities, targeting muslim citizens and asylum seekers and, like all fascists, holding the law in contempt. 1/

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere. It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees. We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

This is outrageous. Removing the Party whip from Labour MPs for voting to scrap the 2-child benefit cap is not only an insult to the 4 million children living in poverty, but also an affront to democracy. Solidarity with @johnmcdonnellMP @ApsanaBegumMP @RichardBurgon

Quick question to all the Starmer fans out there - would Lammy have shaken hands with Putin, do you think? Let's apply consistent principles here. Both Putin and Netanyahu are genocidal mass murderers with oceans of blood on their hands. Would Lammy do a photo op with Putin?

🚨 BREAKING: Labour will CONTINUE the UK's formal objection to the idea of the ICC issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, despite reports they would scrap it. The U-turn follows a personal visit to Israel by Foreign Secretary David Lammy. (Via @MiddleEastEye / @MaarivOnline )

I’ve met young people who’ve been prescribed puberty blockers. Some told me they’d helped lift them from depression & probably saved their life. A blanket ban is wrong & not what Cass recommended. Careful, clinical provision is the way forward, not this politicisation.

This was the first GE held with the new voter ID rules. The impact? @Moreincommon_’s new survey shows: 🗳️ 400k people stopped from voting due to voter ID laws 🗳️ Ethnic minority voters more than 2.5x more likely to be turned away than white voters theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Got in by the skin of his teeth & now has a tiny majority. Ppl obv not happy with him taking donations from those linked to private healthcare& his comments on further privatisation. @UKLabour should have taken note & appointed someone else who can be trusted to protect the NHS.

📢 The UK has a rich history of protests that have driven positive change in society. This #GE24, we're calling on the next Government to defend people's right to protest, strike, and challenge those in power.

This is something that's probably going to not see much coverage in the Anglosphere, but yesterday, a press briefing for the new clinical guideline for trans youth in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland was published. (1/12)

This latest announcement is the last straw. I really cannot conceive myself voting Labour in the next election. We have a climate catastrophe round the corner. This is not the time to roll back green commitments. It’s not about optics. The stakes are huge.
