22 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“Israel's Finance Minister has ordered the eviction of a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank. Tough words are not enough. We need real action to stop this. In Parliament’s Middle East debate, I called for widespread sanctions on Israel to help stop these war crimes.”↗
22 May 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“This is exactly the right thing to do however angry the right-wing media gets. And we'll need more of it. Ordinary people should not pay for the crisis caused by Trump’s war on Iran. The corporate giants making super-profits and ripping everyone off should pay.”↗
19 May 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“85 MPs backed my Parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel. Thank you to everyone who contacted their MP asking them to sign it. The motion is now closed but, with a new Parliamentary session starting, I’ll soon be launching a renewed push for sanctions. Watch this space!”↗
15 May 2026MP & Parliamentcritical“Labour doesn’t just need a new leader but a new direction. Labour must ditch the disastrous strategy of trying to “out-Reform” Reform. And instead deliver real Labour policies to win back the progressive voters who’ve abandoned our party. My new article: labouroutlook.org/2026/05/14/r...”↗
12 May 2026MP & Parliamentangry“We need an orderly timetable for Keir’s departure and a proper democratic leadership election - not a Wes Streeting-organised palace coup.”↗
11 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“We don't just need a new leadership. We need a total change of direction. Join me and other socialist MPs and trade union leaders tonight to discuss the real Labour policies needed to transform people’s lives and stop Nigel Farage. ▶️ Register here: tinyurl.com/whatnextmay26”↗
8 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...”↗
8 May 2026MP & Parliamentangry“These results make one thing clear: Keir Starmer has fought his last election as Labour leader. We now need a timetable for an orderly transition to a new leader by the end of this year. This could not be more serious. It's about stopping Farage entering No.10 Link to my new article is below 👇”↗
22 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. This is what should happen to him wherever he goes.”↗
18 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“See the full list of signatories here: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... Write to your MP here: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/WBannexation”↗
18 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“🚨BREAKING: 75 MPs now back my Parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel. As well as genocide in Gaza and war crimes in Lebanon, Israel is deepening its occupation of the West Bank. There's just a week left to back this sanctions call. Ask your MP to do so below.”↗
16 Apr 2026Cost of Livingsarcastic“Trump’s war is pushing up costs for millions - and Farage backed it from the start. Farage loved boasting about how close he was to Trump. Now the bills are rising, he’s gone quiet. So here’s a little reminder.”↗
14 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Trump’s illegal war on Iran and enocidal threats are part of a dangerous new agenda. The Trump Doctrine means yet more war and ripping up international law. For too long, Britain has acted as the USA’s junior partner. It's time to pursue a truly independent foreign policy.”↗
9 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“The war criminal who leads Israel is now trying to undermine the new ceasefire and causing immense suffering in Lebanon with Israel's bombing there. Sanctions helped end apartheid in South Africa. They are needed to force Israel to end its repeated wars across the Middle East.”↗
7 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“Trump is warning of widespread war crimes against Iran - and even appears to be threatening the use of what could be nuclear weapons. An incredibly dangerous moment for the whole world. Our government must immediately withdraw all access to UK bases for any US attacks on Iran.”↗
30 Mar 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“From my speech to the amazing togetheralliance.bsky.social demo. Hatred will not build a single council house. Division will not fund our NHS. Racism will not lower a single energy bill. TOGETHER we will take on Farage’s lies and fight for real solutions to the crisis people face.”↗
28 Mar 2026Immigrationcelebratory“Delighted to speak at the huge @togetheralliance.bsky.social demonstration today. Instead of tackling the real cause of the problems in our society - the power and wealth of the super-rich - the far right wants to divide communities and blame migrants and Muslims. TOGETHER we won't let them win.”↗
27 Mar 2026Immigrationcelebratory“This Saturday, I’m joining the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march for unity against the far right. People are really struggling. But instead of offering real alternatives to our rigged economy, the far-right are scapegoating migrants and minorities. Join us. Let’s show hope will win over hate!”↗
