Today marks ten years since Jo was killed. We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. 1/2

I recently hosted UNISON care workers in parliament, supporting their Fair Visa campaign. These are people who came to the UK to care for the most vulnerable, but the Government’s proposals risk leaving them in limbo. I’ll continue working with them to secure a fair system that recognises their contribution. @UNISONEastern

Kevin from Rochdale in Greater Manchester handing in the @NFBUK petition @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet to ask for the immediate suspension of the DfT Statutory Guidance on Floating Bus Stops. It is not fit for purpose & the consultation was a sham. Fantastic photo @SimonLamrock

UK government’s decision to ban children & young people under 16 from accessing social media is a case of the right diagnosis but the wrong prescription. The remedy to social media harms is regulation not exclusion. amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

Can banning children from social media really keep them safe online? Parents are right to worry. The risks are real. But age limits alone won’t fix a problem that’s built into the way many digital platforms operate. Here’s what needs to change.

A very dark day for justice. Upholding the proscription of Palestine Action is a dangerous abuse of counter-terrorism powers. When protest is treated as terrorism, dissent is criminalised and the foundations of our democracy are weakened. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

If this is genuinely about solving the housing crisis, where is the plan to build more social housing? 89% of new social housing lettings already go to UK nationals. The remaining 11% include legally eligible non UK nationals such as Irish citizens, people with settled EU status, refugees who have been granted leave to remain in the UK, and those with indefinite leave to remain. These are not asylum seekers, who generally have no recourse to public funds and cannot access social housing while their claims are being processed. Meanwhile, more than 1.3 million households are on social housing waiting lists in England. Deporting people who are already housed would do nothing to address the root causes of the crisis and would likely increase homelessness and housing insecurity. It is simply rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship. The uncomfortable truth is that talking about who occupies a limited number of homes generates headlines. Building enough social housing to end the shortage requires long term political commitment. One changes the story. The other changes the outcome.
🚨NEW: Rupert Lowe says that a Restore Britain government would immediately deport foreign nationals living in social housing who are unable to financially support themselves

Different cities. One team. What started as a challenging hike became a lesson in resilience, encouragement, and working together. To reach the top because nobody was left behind. #RISE365 #G20 #YouthEmpowerment #GrowthHappensOutsideYourComfortZone

#RefugeeWeek 2026 marks 75 years since the Refugee Convention – a landmark agreement affirming that those forced to flee deserve protection, dignity, and hope. For 75 years, it has provided the legal foundation that has saved millions of lives.

#JusticeforGrenfell Today marks 9 years since the devastating fire took the lives of 72 people in 2017. Grenfell bereaved and survivors will gather for a silent walk to remember all those that tragically lost their lives, and support those fighting for justice. The tower is due to be completely taken down after this anniversary. Forever in our hearts. 💚 #grenfell

Social Inequality Accelerates Biological Aging. It alters human biology from a very young age. Adults who endured childhood economic deprivation continue to age at a significantly accelerated biological pace later in life. Inequality shatters life. neurosciencenews.com/epigene…
