The situation in Sudan is horrific, with genocidal forces encircling a populous civilian area in Darfur, where the 2006 genocide took place.
This comes after a year-long campaign of ethnic cleansing

4 in 10 council homes have been flogged off to private landlords under right to buy.
The fire sale of council housing leaves the public paying more and leaves more and more people living in expensive, insecure and poor-quality homes.
Time to end this failed policy.
New: Maternal healthcare crisis puts Black women’s lives at risk new research finds
Campaigners say the concerns of expectant mothers are routinely ignored and the consequences are putting their lives at risk

There are just 3 partially functioning hospitals in Rafah.
Even without a full-scale assault on the area, medical facilities are overwhelmed.
We need an immediate & permanent ceasefire and an end to arms sales now to avert catastrophic loss of life.
It is indefensible to ship arms to any country that has presided over huge civilian casualties and now loudly announces its intention to bomb and invade another densely populated urban area.
The quantity is immaterial

Great to join last night's demonstration against the Tories' deportation regime and recent shock raids.
Stop the raids. Stop the flights.
Expand safe routes. Speed up asylum claims. Let people rebuild their lives in safety.

The decision to reintroduce BAME Labour is a disservice to BAME members and a disregard for the Labour Party’s commitment to democracy.
Upholding conference approved democratic BAME structures for BAME is now more vital than ever

The offensive in Gaza has shown that arming Israel was always wrong.
But now that even the US government is scaling back arms shipments, there is no longer any excuse for our government to let UK arms sales continue.
Time for an embargo

Despite women having practised law for a long time, the legal profession has struggled with representation, systemic inequality and being accountable to the wider public.
Pleased to see that following campaigning and protests outside the Garrick Club, women will now be let in!
Rafah is not just home to a vast number of Palestinian civilians displaced by the bombing and fighting.
It is also a vital conduit for humanitarian aid to enter an area on the brink of famine.
Israel's latest offensive will choke it off.
The despicable trade in African human remains perpetuates a dark legacy of exploitation, colonialism, and dehumanisation.
We need to ban these sales and ensure that the remains of those who were stolen from their homelands are respectfully repatriated.
The lower the Tories sink in the polls, the more desperate they are to blame refugees for their own failures.
Head to Downing Street tonight at 6pm to protest against their shock detention raids and Rwanda deportation scheme

NEW: Waiting times targets have been missed every single month since the last election by most NHS Trusts.
Only a Labour government will make sure patients are treated on time. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.
Today I challenged the CEO of P&O Ferries.
He claimed that workers on his ferries were not sacked on 17 March 2022.
I have a feeling the workers who were handcuffed by masked security guards and marched off the ship to be told they were now out of a job see it differently.
Good policy from

, suspending right to buy on new council homes.
Building council homes whilst selling them off is like running a bath without a plug.
Restoring our social housing stock is the key to tackling the UK's housing crisis.
1.4m Palestinians are sheltering in Rafah, an area more densely populated than Paris.
As Israeli tanks roll in, the international community must be clear that there will be consequences.
Our government needs to end arms sales & support efforts to bring war criminals to justice.
Thank you, London. It's the honour of my life to serve the city I love. 🙏🏿
Today is not about making history, it’s about shaping our future.
And I'll work relentlessly to shape a fairer, safer, greener city for every Londoner.
I am honoured and privileged to have been re-elected as the Labour London Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark.
Massive congratulations to
