The Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately. Every day the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and hostages taken by Hamas are being held in appalling and inhuman conditions. We need a ceasefire now.

New laws will mean children will have to prove their age to access certain content, and when harmful content does appear, platforms will need to act quickly to remove it.

Labour is putting working people first by preventing water pollution and protecting families from bill hikes.
