These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.

This is huge - you’re going to need to sit down. *STARMER HAS DROPPED THE CHAGOS BILL FROM THE KING’S SPEECH - THE CHAGOS DEAL IS DEAD (The Times)* This is emotional. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped SAVE CHAGOS 🇮🇴 Keep fighting!

A hijab used to hide the abuse of 10-year-old Sara Sharif at the hands of her father. Women forced into cousin marriages while the NHS praised its ‘benefits’. Children groomed by gangs while police and social workers looked the other way. In each of these cases public services turned a blind eye to the harm of women and girls because they were scared of being called Islamophobic. Labour’s Islamophobia definition will make this worse. If we put one group on a pedestal and make it harder for public services to do their jobs, then we will only foster more inequality and resentment.

🚨BREAKING: Starmer says Iran war is being used to divide Muslims and Jews He added that diversity is Britain’s strength amid heightened community tensions. What a load of TRIPE! This is the same man who recognised the state of Palestine under pressure from Islamists within his own party. STARMER IS THE ONE WHO SOWS DIVISION!

Starmer says Gorton and Denton would “descend into hostility” if Reform win the by-election. Er… so democracy is only acceptable when Labour wins? Suggesting unrest will follow a legitimate result is a dangerous message for any Prime Minister to spread.
