Apsana Begum: I will continue to oppose the two-child limit at every opportunity Apsana Begum speaks up.

Suspended for over a year for voting to scrap the 2-child cap, @ApsanaBegumMP had the whip restored last week.

And it now looks like the Government will scrap the cap.

They should have listened to Apsana and the other suspended MPs from the start.

“Finish the job”: Demand a second Employment Rights Bill! Demand more when it comes to workers' rights.

A campaign for a second Employment Rights Bill has been launched by @strikemap.org and @unionfreedom.bsky.social.

Read their 10 demands and join the call 👇

Better is Possible – Mary Lou McDonald "We will give it our all in standing-up for ordinary people, & hold this failed government to account."

Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald on the urgent need to tackle the health, housing and cost of living crises - and for an international movement to end the genocide in Gaza.

Reject the current economic system & pursue radical change – Jon Trickett "Democratic socialism is the only way forward."

Labour must reject the rigged economic system and take real action to improve people's lives - @jontrickett.bsky.social

The continuing battle for employment rights "The Government should see the Act as the start of a process of improving workers’ employment rights, not the end."

Will the Employment Rights Bill really “transform ordinary working people’s lives”?

Campaigners are calling for a second Bill to strengthen it and bring it closer to the New Deal for Working People that was originally promised.

Needed! Policies for the many, not the few – Andrew Fisher The Labour leadership’s broken promises matter.

Instead of pushing policies that alienate voters and legitimise Reform, Labour should be bringing in a progressive programme that improves living standards and rebuilds public services.

@fisherandrew79.bsky.social on the need for an urgent change of direction.

No More Excuses: Impose Sanctions on Israel Now – Richard Burgon "There is now no hiding place for our government - or for any other. Sanctions must be imposed immediately on Israel."

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. There is now no hiding place for our government – or for any other.

Sanctions must be imposed immediately on Israel - @richardburgon.bsky.social.

It’s time for a wealth tax – Richard Burgon MP "Despite the continued fearmongering of the rich & powerful, the public overwhelmingly supports making those with extreme wealth pay up."

After a deeply unpopular first year in office, Labour must change direction completely.

That means tackling the poverty and the cost-of-living crisis by making the super-rich pay their fair share.

It's time for a wealth tax - @richardburgon.bsky.social.

Scrap the Cap to fight child poverty – Imran Hussain MP "It is the most cost-effective, immediate, and powerful lever we have to lift children out of poverty."

"The choice before us is simple: keep this cruel policy and watch poverty deepen, or scrap the cap and change lives for good."

The two-child benefit cap is the single biggest driver of child poverty. Scrap it now - Imran Hussain MP.

Labour must change direction or face disaster Diane Abbott MP discusses the crises of war, austerity, racism and climate change.

Well said @hackneyabbott.bsky.social 📢

Starmer's direction is leading to defeat.

"We cannot go forward on Starmerite policies...There is an alternative, and we must continue to fight for it. We need to come together, we need to organise, we need to mobilise."

RIP Labour Women’s Conference? "We need Women’s and other Equality Conferences to be welcomed as an opportunity for members to be heard."

Labour Women's Conference was due to take place on Saturday but has been postponed - likely cancelled - by the Party.

It should serve as an important democratic function that allows women's voices to be heard and directly influence policy.

Disrupt complicity in genocide – Kim Johnson MP Kim Johnson writes that we should support disruption of complicity with genocide.

“Our government’s actions are not passive, they are a willing participant in the genocide. Which makes it all the more important to protest and disrupt them.”

We cannot allow our right to protest this genocide to be shut down. Spot on from @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social.

A Battle for the Future of Honduras "The labour movement must unequivocally stand in solidarity with the people & government of Honduras against any attempt, internal or external, to subvert the election campaign."

“The labour movement must unequivocally stand in solidarity with the people and government of Honduras against any attempt, internal or external, to subvert the election campaign.”

Tim Young writes on the battle for the future of Honduras 🇭🇳🗳

Protest for Palestine – Build for Liverpool, then all to London! "We must make 11 October a hammer blow that can break the government’s collusion with Israel."

The Government must take immediate action to end its complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

@pscupdates.bsky.social are holding a mass demonstration at Labour Party Conference in Liverpool and a national demo in London - join them ✊🇵🇸

Disability Welfare Cuts Risk Greater Harm – Rachael Maskell MP Rachael Maskell MP argues that punitive welfare cuts fail disabled people, while investment in education, support, and inclusive workplaces enables sustainable employment and independence.

Talk of even more cuts to disability support in the Autumn Budget is deeply worrying.

More cuts will only hinder, not help. Get this wrong and mental health spirals, confidence plummets and employers slam the door shut, writes @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social.

Starmer and Reeves’ approach is wrong – we can tackle inequality and poverty now! "It should be the super-rich and the corporate profiteers who pay to improve our broken society, not the poor."

4.5 million children are currently growing up in poverty in one of the richest countries in the world.

Starmer and Reeves' approach is wrong - we CAN tackle poverty and inequality. We need the political willpower to do it.

Decline in living standards will erode confidence – Neil Duncan-Jordan MP Neil Duncan-Jordan warns an economy where very few feel better when a country’s wealth is growing will erode public confidence.

Rampant poverty and inequality, and the repeated failure to address them, have created fertile ground for the rise of the far-right.

The state has levers at its disposal to bring about the change we need. It needs to start using them - Neil Duncan Jordan MP.

Only a new era of council housing will tackle the crisis – Chris Hinchliff MP We need a "new era of council housing" - solving the housing crisis cannot be left to the market which has helped create it.

Everyone deserves a warm, safe and affordable home.

That won't be possible unless the Government tackles the housing crisis.

@chrishinchliff.bsky.social recently invoked Labour icon and NHS founder Aneurin Bevan in a passionate call for more council homes.

Grassroots For Gaza: fighting censorship & speaking out against genocide - Labour Outlook Grassroots for Gaza shows that " principle & courage will always defeat the dark forces who want to sow division, stoke fear & deny complicity in the worst atrocities known to man."

Grassroots music venues are rooted in our communities and play an invaluable role in building bridges, giving a voice to marginalised groups and the fight against genocide. 🇵🇸

My latest piece on Grassroots For Gaza in @labouroutlook.bsky.social:

The deliberate extermination of the people of Gaza – Steve Witherden MP Steve Witherden MP says this genocide will be a dark stain in the history of our country.

“This is the deliberate extermination of the people of Gaza: missile by missile, bullet by bullet, calorie by calorie.”

@stevewitherdenmp.bsky.social calls for immediate action to end the genocide in Gaza.

Starmer stooges seek to block motions on Gaza Genocide at Labour conference “Just days after a UN Commission of Inquiry confirmed that Israel has committed and is committing genocide in Gaza, it is shocking that Labour officials are trying to block a large influx of motions i...

Labour officials are attempting to stop calls for the Government to end complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza from being made at the conference.

This will not come as a surprise to anyone.

Join the @pscupdates.bsky.social demonstrations and make your voices heard!

Palestine coalition demands government stops suppressing protest for Palestine "Disgracefully, anti-terror legislation is now being used to label non-violent direct action as terrorism, prosecute performance artists, and criminalise entirely peaceful protesters."

Anti-terror legislation is now being used to label non-violent direct action as terrorism, prosecute performance artists, and criminalise entirely peaceful protesters.

The repression of the movement for Palestine must stop.

Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn has refused to hold an inquest into the murder.

Labour must govern with the movement – Brian Leishman MP Brian Leishman says the Deputy Leadership election must reconnect the party with its members and the movement.

Labour's lurch to the right in Government is shattering their voter base and creating a chasm between members and the senior figures of the party.

@brianleishmanmp.bsky.social calls on the party to govern with the movement and respect members' voices.

Richard Burgon MP: We Are in an Incredibly Dangerous Moment "Everyone has an interest in standing up to these far-right thugs."

"We not only face the threat of a far-right government coming to power for the first time in our history, but also a violent far-right street movement on a scale not seen here in decades – if ever."

Read @richardburgon.bsky.social's powerful statement.

Palestine – the defining issue of our time There seems to be nothing Israel can do that will provoke Labour into action. Recognition is not going to be enough, writes Hugh Lanning, Labour & Palestine.

Through sanctions, ending arms sales and not welcoming Israel’s war criminals, Western powers can stop what is going on - Hugh Lanning, Labour & Palestine.

How many red lines does Israel have to cross before the UK government takes serious action?

8 months of strike action and still going strong.

The Birmingham Bin Strike is a dispute with national consequences. It’s back the bin strikes or barbarism - @strikemap.org ✊

Make Them Pay! Make Them Pay are mobilising thousands of demonstrators to call for the super-rich and mega polluters to pay their fair share.

The mega-polluters and the super-rich must be made to pay their fair share 📢🚨

That’s the important message climate campaigners and others are taking to the Make Them Pay demo on Saturday.

Palestine – TUC calls out UK Complicity in Genocide End alls arms sales to Israel says TUC!

“Implement a total ban on all trade which aids or assists Israel’s violations of international law including with Israel’s illegal settlements.”

TUC Congress 2025 passed a significant motion on The Crisis in Palestine - read it in full.

Our message to Labour is simple: the time for excuses is over. It's time to deliver - Sarah Woolley, BFAWU General Secretary.

The Government should be delivering for people - not delivering more austerity and a program that fuels the far-right.
