This Remembrance Sunday, we came together in Luton as a town and a community to honour those who fought and died so we could live in freedom. We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

Tackling Islamophobia has never been about asking for special treatment for Muslims but rather equal treatment.
While some play semantics and ask ‘does Islamophobia exist’, Muslim communities continue to face rising hostility and hate crimes.

A day of history in American politics. Keisha Lance Bottoms becomes the first Black woman to be elected governor, while Abdul El-Sayed become the first Muslim to be elected to the Senate.
Overall results a complete repudiation of Trump and MAGA.

'We all know that my name and my faith aren't the reason you can't afford your gas.'
Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been speaking in Michigan, talking about the Republican campaign against him, calling it the 'ugliest we've seen in our lifetimes.'

Reform like to portray themselves as staunch ‘defenders of Britain’ and patriots, however new analysis has revealed that its MPs have taken part in just 30% of parliamentary debates on defence.

A budget that seeks to deliver for working people. From a £100 energy payment for millions of households to lifting 70,000 more retail, hospitality and leisure firms out of business rates and self-employed fathers and partners to be made eligible for paid parental leave for the first time as well as measures to tackle the gender pay gap, a budget the Labour govt can be proud of.

Chancellor John Healey takes aim at Liz Truss and her new book: “Her new book says she could’ve taken the British people to Mars, but in reality what she achieved was blowing a big black hole in the budget’

John Healey uses his budget speech to remind the country that the Labour govt rejected Kemi Badenoch and the Tories demand that Britain 'jump two footed' into the conflict with Iran, a war that has ‘driven up costs for British businesses and families’

A passionate case made by Darren Jones for the renationalisation of the Royal Mail.
A postal service isn’t a nice to have luxury, it’s an essential, critical public service.
A postal service isn’t a nice to have luxury, it’s an essential, critical public service.
Royal Mail should be back in public hands.
After years of missed delivery targets, Royal Mail has proven it can’t be run effectively by the private sector.
That’s why I’ve called on the Government to renationalise it.
If we fail to act, we risk losing Royal Mail for good.

“The Royal Mail is an example of a business that cannot be run effectively by the private sector, and an example of a business which I believe the government can renationalise fairly easily within its fiscal rules.”
Yesterday Labour MPs, including @darrenpjones, called out the s business model, called its separation from the Post Office a mistake and urged the government to not shy away from renationalisation.

Ahead of the budget tomorrow, the Gen Sec of the @pcs_union Fran Heathcote, has called for an ‘excess profits levy’ similar to the measure in the 1952 Budget delivered by Rab Butler, who told the House of Commons, “we are not prepared to see excessive profits being made”

So let me get this right, rather than dealing with the systemic racism in Reform, Nigel Farage says that those who have liked posts by Tommy Robinson won’t be banned from standing for office for his party.
The same Tommy Robinson who was part of the BNP. Reform are a disgrace.
