Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

People power led the Greens to victory in Gorton and Denton The party’s historic byelection win was earned by listening to voters, not ignoring them, as Labour has done

“we produced videos in Urdu, because we believe that voters should be spoken to, not spoken about. Reaching out to communities in the languages they use at home is not division; it is democracy.”

What the Greens told the annual budget council meeting Green councillor Ollie Sykes gave his party’s response of the proposed 2026-27 budget for Brighton and Hove City Council at Hove Town Hall this afternoon (Thursday 26 February). He said … One thing is clear from this proposed budget. This council and our residents are paying – in job losses, decimated services and in hard […]

What the Greens told the annual budget council meeting

NEW: Sources in the Greens have said they have spoken to 55% of voters as of 5.30pm.

With less than 4 hours to go until polls close, they'll need to speak to another 45%.

This will be a close election, and with a few hundred votes to tip the balance and see the Greens win.

Brilliant to be out knocking on doors in Gorton and Denton with a lovely group of volunteers; we have 75 more groups like this getting out the vote all across the constituency!

Just spoke to one voter whose daughter has made her own beautiful poster to show her support💚

Honestly thought for a second I had forgotten to put in the word ‘if’ in all my excitement at Hannah’s amazing chance to make history.

With all my heart I want to have Hannah with me in Parliament next week. She is not only the best candidate to beat Reform but just simply the best new MP you could wish for.

If you are voting today, choose Hannah, and tell everyone you meet to do the same! 💚💚💚🙏

Vote Green.

Interesting idea no one has mentioned yet!

☀️Sunshine really is the best disinfectant.

For too long royal FOI exemptions have allowed royal power to act in the shadows, and conceal important truths from MPs, the press, and the public.

They must be removed to tackle this systemic corruption.

Sea levels are rising, the far right are rising.

37 Communications with Her Majesty, etc. and honours. (1)Information is exempt information if it relates to— [F1(a)communications with the Sovereign, (aa)communications with the heir to, or the person who is for the time being second in line of succession to, the Throne, (ab)communications with a person who has subsequently acceded to the Throne or become heir to, or second in line to, the Throne, (ac)communications with other members of the Royal Family (other than communications which fall within any of paragraphs (a) to (ab) because they are made or received on behalf of a person falling within any of those paragraphs), and (ad)communications with the Royal Household (other than communications which fall within any of paragraphs (a) to (ac) because they are made or received on behalf of a person falling within any of those paragraphs), or] (b)the conferring by the Crown of any honour or dignity. (2)The duty to confirm or deny does not arise in relation to information which is (or if it were held by the public authority would be) exempt information by virtue of subsection (1).

Here it is in black and white in Section 37 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This clause must go.

He did not comment on this at all in his summing up, which means it was a good question with no Govt answer as yet!

With my colleagues on this abstention. Online safety measures must come swiftly but we are not comfortable over proposals to do this without great care.

Ellie's right, children's online safety is too important. Forcing through a new law in a single day, without listening to the results of the public consultation, would have been be a mistake.

When the consultation opens next month (www.gov.uk/government/n...) I encourage everyone to take part.

Why should communication involving the royals be exempt from Freedom of Information requests?

It really is one rule for the rich and powerful, and one rule for the rest of us.

I intend to work with other MPs to close this outrageous royal transparency loophole.
