Bumper profits for oil and gas companies – at whose expense? “Shell’s profits more than double after jump in oil and gas prices,” reports today’s Guardian, as Shell recorded its second highest quarterly earnings on record. @EndFuelPoverty labourhub.org.uk/2026/07/30/bum…

Today we had our first NEC meeting attended by the new Prime Minister! A packed meeting covering the leadership transition, conference preparations,  and Labour's political direction under Andy Burnham. Here's my headlines:

Trident renewal central to defence spending, says Andy Burnham. That is more profits for US companies. UK deindustrialization has made it more dependent on US weapons, forces it to appease the US and tyrants like Trump. Taking back control? theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

I recently led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs' second jobs. When an MP can pocket more for a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in an entire year, something is deeply broken in our politics. It's time to end this racket. Watch clips from my speech here 👇

For Labour’s NEC elections, I backed @JessicaLBarnard, @gembolton and @Yasmine_Dar from the CLGA slate with my top preferences, followed by @JOwusuNepaul , @catarnold_ and Kerry Postlewhite of Mainstream with my next preferences. They are candidates who take party democracy seriously, which is exactly what we need on our party's governing body. I'd encourage other Labour members to vote for them too.

Over 35,000 call for Andy Burnham to reinstate Diane Abbott By the @labourassembly and @arise_festival July 17th 2026 marked one year on from Diane being suspended from the Labour Party, under Keir Starmer’s leadership. @HackneyAbbott labourhub.org.uk/2026/07/30/ove…

What a sensible idea.

After protests erupted in Pakistan-administered Kashmir in June, authorities enforced a severe communications blackout. Since then, we’ve heard harrowing reports of Pakistani security services firing on tens of thousands of peaceful protesters, killing at least 30 people this week. Just as I have previously in relation to atrocities committed by Indian-administered Kashmir, I urged our government to put pressure on Pakistani counterparts to end the blockade and stop violence towards protesters.

Voting opens today for the Labour Party National Executive Committee. I would urge Labour members to vote for the fantastic Jess Barnard. Here’s why 👇

I’m urging Labour Party members to vote for Jess Barnard, Gemma Bolton and Yasmine Dar in the NEC elections. They have been principled, hardworking and constructive voices, consistently standing up for our members, our movement and the values that brought so many of us into politics. Please vote to re-elect @JessicaLBarnard, @gembolton and @Yasmine_Dar to Labour’s NEC. ✊
