Iโ€™ve signed @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social's EDM on ticket pricing in football.

We are sending a clear message to Premier League clubs โ€“ football without fans is nothing.

Stop raising ticket prices.

Stop pricing supporters out of the game.

14 years of cuts. Stations gone. 12,000 firefighter jobs lost. Services stretched to breaking point.

Enough is enough.

@fbunational.bsky.socialโ€™s Cuts Kill campaign is our fight to reverse the damage and secure the reinvestment needed to build a fire service worthy of the future ๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ”ฅ

The conversation about housing is all wrong - itโ€™s time to flip the narrative.

The housing emergency is driven by decades of underinvestment in affordable social homes, not by people seeking safety.

Itโ€™s time to build more homes & stop scapegoating migrants. You can help change the conversation.

The BBC deserves every bit of criticism here โ€“ it should never have been broadcast.

How is it that โ€˜Free Palestineโ€™ can be censored, but the n-word was allowed to initially be aired?

It doesnโ€™t add up. Serious questions need answering.

Representation, not red tape โŒ

Today, thanks to the Employment Rights Act, most of the Tories' 2016 Trade Union Act is repealed, removing restrictions designed to tie unions up in knots.

Our unions can now focus on what they do best - organising to win better pay & conditions!

Keir Starmer orders investigation into Labour Together claims The think tank paid a company at least ยฃ30,000 to investigate the origins of a story about undeclared donations.

The Cabinet Office is โ€œassembling the factsโ€ about the actions of its own Minister - how on earth is that independent?

This is unacceptable. We need a fully independent investigation, not a process they run and control themselves.

Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful but group remains proscribed for now Three judges rule against the Home Office in a massive blow to the government, but say the ban must remain until a further hearing.

The decision to proscribe PA under terrorism law has been ruled unlawful by the High Court today.

I was proud to vote against the proscription of PA. Our right to protest is under sustained attack & it must be protected. The government must not appeal.

I was honoured to open @rmtunion.bsky.social's Health and Safety Conference in Liverpool this morning.

Violence is not โ€“ and should never be โ€“ "part of the job."

I am committed to ending the outsourcing racket thatโ€™s undermining safety, equality and the future of our railways.

Enjoying mafia movies doesnโ€™t make me a killer. So be wary of the state using rap music to prove murder | Shami Chakrabarti UK prosecutors are recklessly deploying art against young men in court. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m taking parliamentary action to curb it, says lawyer and Labour peer Shami Chakrabarti

โ€œEnjoying mafia movies doesnโ€™t make me a killer. So be wary of the state using rap music to prove murderโ€

Shami Chakrabarti is absolutely right - creative expression must be protected from misuse in our justice system.

Read her excellent article ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

Lovely visit to M&S L1 last week to catch up with store manager Margaret & hear about how the amazing team is getting on.

It was also a pleasure to meet Jean, who recently celebrated 40 years at M&S!

Such a warm, welcoming team at M&S L1 - it really does feel like a family.

Powerful APPG on Miscarriages of Justice event hearing from Oliver Campbell, Peter Sullivan & Justin Plummer โ€“ three wrongly convicted men who spent a total of 77 years in prison.

Their stories show a system failing people twice: convicting the innocent & abandoning them after release.

BREAKING: McSweeneyโ€™s think tank paid PR firm to investigate journalists Labour Together put private investigators onto journalists writing about its funding. Starmer's right-hand man knew.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant - and whatโ€™s been exposed shows McSweeneyโ€™s operation is rotten to the core.

Weโ€™re told the adults are in the room. If this is their idea of leadership, No. 10 needs gutting from top to bottom.

@thecriminalbar.bsky.social is clear: โ€œthere is no evidence that this major constitutional reform would solve the crisis.โ€

Tackle the real causes of the backlog and do not introduce counter-productive reforms. We must protect jury trials.

Historic night in Parliament. We voted to scrap the cruel two-child limit - a policy that drove child poverty to record highs.

By ending it, nearly 500,000 children will be lifted out of poverty, including over 4000 in Liverpool Riverside. A huge first step, but not the last.

Met to review reports of alleged misconduct in public office after latest Epstein files release - as it happened Gordon Brown calls for inquiry over Peter Mandelsonโ€™s apparent disclosure of highly sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein

Mandelsonโ€™s sleazy networks of influence, elite access & unanswered questions are exactly why #Leveson2 was called for in the first place.

Scrapping it protected power, not the public.

We immediately need #Leveson2. No more shielding, no more silence.

Visited Liverpool Crown Court as part of a Court Constituency Day with @thebarcouncil.bsky.social.

Message was clear: scrapping jury trials wonโ€™t fix delays. Liverpoolโ€™s low backlog & strong workplace culture show whatโ€™s possible & what should be replicated nationally.
