Deeply proud to be backed by Alan Johnson, a giant of the Labour movement.
The deputy leadership is a choice between a strong government true to our values and ready to win again, or the divided party for which Farage is desperate.

I’m a campaigner - and I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader.
This last week I’ve visited every region & nation in Britain - telling Labour’s story.
We need to unite, bring change, and defeat Reform to win again.
Almost every newspaper and broadcaster in Britain is now waging a racist 24/7 campaign of hatred against migrants on behalf of the ultra rich. In response to this, one small thing you can do is donate to the NGOs supporting refugees.

Commentators: 'Labour's wasted its first year in office'.
Ed Miliband:
I wouldn't be Chancellor for all the money in the world. Incredibly tough job. Impossible ask. Especially over the last decade.

The buildings of the European Commission and the European Council are illuminated in blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Between them, the street, an EU flag and a Ukrainian flag are visible. It is otherwise dark.
The blue and yellow of Ukraine.
The colours of resistance against imperialism.
On the eve of this grim anniversary, they adorn our building as a symbol of our unflinching support for the Ukrainian people.
Our neighbours, partners, and future EU members.
“In the past six months Russia has been humiliated in Syria, failed to dislodge three Ukrainian brigades from the Kursk region, and taken more than 200,000 casualties in advancing roughly the distance from central London to Heathrow airport.”

Green and purple background. “You are loved and wanted in London”
Blue and pink background. “I always feel loved in London-it’s my home, my workplace and my community. The hustle and bustle is my comfort blanket” - Krista “You are loved and wanted in London”
“I came to London alone and here I met my chosen family” - Eduardo “You are loved and wanted in London”
London’s diversity shines in every corner. Celebrating events with neighbours of all faiths shows how cultures blend seamlessly here. “You are loved and wanted in London”
Londoners come from every walk of life, from every religious, ethnic and social background and from all over the world to make up this fantastic city.
In these uncertain and unsettling times, I want Londoners to know that they are loved and wanted in London.

Labour’s @stellacreasy.bsky.social tells @lewisgoodall.com that denying citizenship to refugees in the UK goes against the ‘compassion’ of the British people.
It's #HeartUnions❤️ Week! This is the perfect time to remind people why they should be in their union, and encourage them to join if they aren't a member.

With more LME MPs than Tory MPs and our track record leading debate -whether PEM, Youth Mobility or red lines- its an exciting time. And we always have biscuits!
Laser-sharp rebuke of previous gov'ts on #Brexit and trade, down by most measures, from Douglas Alexander.
"As Sun-Tzu said, "tactics without strategy are simply the noise before defeat"... What's very obvious, as we look back over the last eight years, is that there was no defined strategy." ~AA
Kemi Badenoch mentioned how much the UK's debt interest is costing us. She's right, it's becoming crippling. And a very substantial portion of that debt was added to the UK government's balance sheet during the Conservatives' period in office.
UK debt 2010: £1trn
UK debt 2024: £2.8178trn
