If Labour breaks its promise on taxation for working people it would be nothing short of political suicide. To raise taxes on working people when they donβt have much spare as it is should go against everything we stand for.

18 to 20 year olds earn a minimum of Β£10 an hour. Assuming a 40 hour week thatβs just over Β£20K a year. Does Farage really believe people can live off that? When rent alone will take at least half that.
Out of touch.

By all means letβs have a standards watchdog. But one that holds everyone to account on an equal basis. And one that doesnβt involve self referral. Because letβs be honest neither the press nor the public reward that behaviour.

Both Reeves and Rayner made rectifiable errors. These shouldnβt be grounds for resignation. Not when you see what the Tories got away with.

Ethics advisors only make sense if everybody plays by the same rules.
The Tories donβt.
Reform donβt.
Neither should Labour.

I canβt pretend Iβm not disappointed by the result, but it is important that as members we get behind our newly elected Deputy Leader.
Congratulations to Lucy Powell. She fought an effective campaign. Bridget I know will continue to be a great Education Secretary.

Iβm seeing so many Labour heads in the sand. We won 11% of the vote in what should be a safe Labour seat.

I should say I was nearly 20 stone when I started. I wasnβt eligible to receive it on prescription. Its cost me well over a grand at this point. Iβm lucky I work full time and live with mum and dad rent free. Next year it should be far cheaper when the licences run out.

Mounjaro has utterly changed my life. Since April Iβve lost 4 stone. I havenβt weighed this light since I was 16. I really donβt believe it would have been possible without it.

Itβs not good politics or indeed good for the cause for Starmer to constantly give his critics air time. It is an apt criticism however to say he needs to be more aggressive when prosecuting an argument.

If Lucy Powell is elected Deputy Leader sheβll be in the headlines every time she undermines the leader.
