As the piece says, they also let rail companies capture the benefits of development - in precisely the way we did when we were building out the great suburbs and garden towns

14.2 tonnes of illegal meat seized in a single week. 🚨🍖 A man has been arrested after c11kg of bushmeat was found in London, as officials warn the UK’s border system is failing to stop illegal imports. "Once goods move unfettered inland, the threat to animal health alone, is already inside the country, and our ability to intervene is needlessly compromised." READ MORE: ow.ly/QwJb50YCoZu

We’ve built an interactive game to show what the pressure of adult social care looks like. In Run the Council, you take charge of a fictional council for four years. Can you run ‘Northfield Council’ amongst mounting financial pressures? Play here: labourtogether.uk/council-sim
Labour Together@LabourTogether

NEW REPORT: We're calling for a 'big bang' reform of local government finance. Nationalise the funding of adult social care and replace council tax and stamp duty with a proportional property tax 🧵

1/ When I connected Croydon small business owners with the Small Business Minister, late payments kept coming up as a huge pressure on cashflow. So I'm delighted by today's announcement - the toughest crackdown on late payments in over 25 years.

A 500-year-old national institution is in meltdown. Barely three quarters of First Class letters are arriving on time, costing families and small businesses across the country. Tomorrow, Royal Mail's new owner appears before @CommonsBTC for the first time. We need answers. Watch live, Tuesday 24th March, 2.30pm: parliamentlive.tv/event/index/53…

The antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green is horrifying. I’ve been in touch with Jewish community leaders this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day. An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.

'This is a shocking, cowardly, and despicable act of evil', says Wes Streeting as he visits the site of a suspected antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green 'We will stand with the Jewish community here and across the country in confronting this vile antisemitism'

To those asking why the Jewish community in north London has an ambulance service as though it’s some kind of gotcha, perhaps you should be asking why the NHS needs support from charities rather than seeing a fabricated anti-Semitic conspiracy. See also Lincolnshire LIVES and the Air Ambulance. All 3 support the NHS, all treat people of all faiths and none, all fill gaps where the NHS fails. All are charities. All are run for the benefit of all those in their area. Give your heads a wobble if you don’t accept that firebombing ambulances is a horrific act - whoever happens to run them.

Time to re-tune your plans. The London Symphony Orchestra is taking over Trafalgar Square for the BMW Classics open-air concert. It’s free, it’s iconic, and it’s the perfect way to spark some musical magic in the next generation. lso.co.uk/bmw-classics/

🚨Clearly there's loads of news today so there's a chance this gets ignored but... it is a BIG deal. Britain, the country that invented free trade as we know it, is raising steel tariffs to 50%. Biggest tariffs since Brexit. A massively symbolic moment. news.sky.com/story/watershe…

At LHG panel "Lessons for Labour from coalition & austerity: 1929-35", Phil & @greggmcclymont . Phil's essay on Lab leader Clynes just part of his legacy. With @LordJohnMann Phil played key role saving @LabourStudents from Militant, as @MichaelDugher chronicled. We'll miss him.

Absolutely correct. I always ask people who insist MPs should be "local", to list their political heroes. So, I ask, how many of them were local MPs? Which is a variation of William Hague's point. If you insist every MP has to be local, you don't give aspirants many options.

I have approved the Metropolitan Police’s request to ban the Al Quds march. I am satisfied doing so is necessary to prevent serious public disorder, due to the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Should a stationary demonstration proceed, the police will be able to apply strict conditions. I expect to see the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division instead of exercising their right to peaceful protest.
