The postponement of an event at the British Museum as part of the first Jewish Culture Month is simply unacceptable. So-called activists are attempting to rewrite history and target Jews. It is on ...

We learned at terrible cost in Iraq what happens when loyalty replaces judgment. I opposed the Iraq war - we must never make that mistake again. Read my response to Blair here 👇 https://t.co/k0E...

Labour won’t win Britain’s future by fighting old wars or recycling old orthodoxies. Nor will it do so through technocratic detachment from the lives people actually live. The answers must be new...

Big Tech is behaving like Big Tobacco. Labour must seize the moment and ban social media for under 16s - as many Labour MPs have argued for some time… ✍🏻 for @LabourList https://t.co/DRtiGMdit9
