15 Apr 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“Protest is not some inconvenience to be managed. It is part of the lifeblood of the labour movement, and of every movement that has ever expanded rights, protections or dignity in this country. From my speech on the Crime & Policing Bill.”↗
10 Apr 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“I have tabled a motion to the Crime and Policing Bill to reject the govts new 'cumulative disruption' protest-curbing powers. The Conservatives tried and failed to establish these powers in 2023. Labour shouldn't be seeking to do the same.”↗
7 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Trump's reckless willingness to talk in such terms of the death of a whole civilisation, as with his reference to the Stone Age, must be understood as a threat to civilians and civilians infrastructure. He must step back from the brink - and be told to do so by UK govt.”↗
7 Apr 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“'Antipodea lost 21 claims at the employment tribunal. We understand the company hasn’t paid any of the sums ordered by those tribunals' @mellino.bsky.social reports how a restaurant chain lost 21 tribunal claims – and not paid a single one www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...”↗

1 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)sarcastic“Low import tariffs have made the Teesside Freeport’s Private Customs Zone effectively redundant. Who knew? 🤔 And surprise, surprise: Mandelsonian disclosures from within the South Tees Development Corporation—raising fresh governance questions. 😱”↗
31 Mar 2026Defence & Securityangry“The govt condemning Israel's death penalty law is welcome but this requires robust action. The bill is further evidence of the potential crime of apartheid. The UK should sanction those who have supported this bill and suspend the trade agreement with Israel.”↗
27 Mar 2026Educationcelebratory“Great news that a new secondary school for children with special educational needs and disabilities will be built in Middlesbrough. More info here 👇 www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/latest-news/...”↗
