Mini animals 4 - Mr Orangutan

In a significant shift in approach, the British government has started inviting representatives of the Burmese military regime to meetings with government ministers and to pose for pictures with them. burmacampaign.org.uk/british-gove...

The anthropormophising of AI, the idea it has consciousness and agency, and can go 'rogue' is an attempt by tech companies to limit their liability, optimise user engagement and maximise stock value I said in the debate on the JCHR report on AI and Human rights, led by @alexsobel

Simply despicable and hypocritical, but entirely unsurprising from the Trump administration www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

"Christian nationalism" in the UK is essentially a post-religious identity. Unlike the evangelical right in the US, it has no theological content, does not require belief in God & demands no moral or religious commitment. It reduces Christianity to a cultural "heritage" to be "defended" from Islam

Two brilliant Labour & Co-operative wins, with a hold in Lambeth and a gain from Reform in Newcastle-under-Lyme! 🌹🐝 Congratulations to our new councillors Molly Hartill and Andrew Fox-Hewitt, and to the local teams who worked so hard to elect them.

Today, we’ve confirmed our first Labour & Co-operative candidates for the 2027 local elections. As our electoral pact with Labour turns 100, they’ll champion shared ownership, stronger communities and more power for people to shape the future of the places they call home.

The idea that Houthis are somehow remote-controlled by Iran to the extent that their ambitions can be switched off through a deal with Tehran is a serious analytical error that always misread how much the wars around Yemen and Saudi Arabia's Southern border have an Eigendynamik

There's been an increasing trend of reactionaries with imperial ambitions cynically using the language of decolonisation to support those ambitions and those of others. Israel, Argentina, Morocco, even the US when you look at how Claremont talks about Canada and Greenland. Hindu nationalists too

URGENT! The MRHA consultation on the railway works that threaten Digbeth and The Warehouse closes THIS FRIDAY. It's your last chance to let them know that better railways don't have to cost community. mrhalliance.co.uk/consultation Our advice on responding: birminghamfoe.org.uk/help-us-save...

Our NEC candidates are clear about what kind of change they want to bring to Labour. Vote Cat, Jovan & Kerry 1–3 in the CLP section.

The evidence is clear: countries with lower NEET rates than the UK get there almost entirely through higher rates of post-18 education. In these countries, more young people stay in education for longer and often combine it with work.

Rest in peace, Jason.

Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe. It is unfolding before our very eyes. I've joined colleagues urging the Home Secretary to ensure women and children to find safety in the UK. We must offer refuge to those fleeing unimaginable suffering.

Labour’s new leadership must make this a priority. To transform the country, we must transform Labour. www.mainstreamlabour.org/2026-nec-and... 2/2

The decline in Labour’s membership is horrifying - but it needn’t be terminal. By building a culture and pioneering new practices to realise pluralism, internal democracy and participation, we can rebuild our movement. 1/2

Meet @jowusunepaul.bsky.social 🌹 He stood in Clacton in 2024 - one of the toughest seats on the map - because he believes in a bolder, broader Labour, not a cautious one. That's the fresh thinking we need on the NEC. Vote Jovan in the CLP section.

On the night of 2–3 August 1944, nearly 3,000 Roma men, women and children were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, on European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, we honour the victims of the Roma genocide and reaffirm our duty to preserve their memory.

This is 1000000000% the exact same story as the U.S.-Mexico border. Exact. same. story.

The events in Ceuta are obviously dramatic and require rapid action, but politicians in other countries collecting points is disgusting. For example Denmark suggesting Schengen closures, what do they think, that 10000 people are going to hop on a plane to Copenhagen? Help Spain, don’t be a populist

First testimonies I see denouncing the Moroccan security officers’ involvement in the mass entry into Ceuta.

This is good news for the West Midlands. More money will stay in the region, and go towards the things that matter most to the people that live here.

Alongside Imran Hussain MP and over 80 MPs and Lords, I recently wrote to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel. The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act now to end it!

This is the difference co-operative politics makes.

The border regime contributes to this kind of situations. Before the closure of the border and the establishment of the requirement of Schengen visa in 1991, Moroccans used to enter Ceuta and the rest of Spain without risking their lives and physical integrity.

This is good. Burnham delivering on his word to end factionalism. Should also reinstate Karl Turner too. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Statement on England and UEFA's boycott of the World Cup: "This is a principled decision that we strongly support. Football belongs to the fans, not billionaire investors. Enough is enough. It’s time to take a stand to protect our game."

People that only mention Myanmar to try to dunk on / undermine those raising awareness for what's happening in Gaza, are not acting in good faith at all. There are plenty of people who talk about both the what's happening to Palestinians & what's happening in Myanmar.

Thousands of new signatures have been added in a matter of days, with MPs and campaigning groups also adding their support to the call. Join them in calling for the whip to be restored to @hackneyabbott.bsky.social ✍️👇

Let's keep Manchester co-operative. Best of luck to our candidate in the Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election, Bev Craig! 🐝

The Prime Minister has launched a national conversation on social care. He has made it clear: profiteering – the extraction of profit from the people and firms that produce it – must end. In contrast, care co-operatives reinvest profit back to the carers and care they provide.

🚨 This is a welcome step. A pluralist, democratic Labour Party is how we can deliver the change people voted for. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

💥💥💥 Ballots are arriving today! 💥💥💥 Vote for the Mainstream team to build a new politics rooted in democracy, participation and radical ambition for the communities Labour exists to serve. www.mainstreamlabour.org/2026-nec-and...

One of the dimensions of devolution I’ve always been excited by is what dozens of mayors with proper powers could do for the British political class’s breadth and depth of experience and expertise in the tricky job of executive political leadership and balancing the pressures and trade-offs.

Palestine has become the defining test of whether Labour believes that international law applies equally to all. @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social calls for a clean break with Starmer's failure on Palestine, having coordinated a letter from over 80 MPs calling for sanctions.

🌹📢 Introducing your 2026 Mainstream candidates for the NEC! Thank you to our members for participating in our ballot and voting to endorse a strong team of determined, progressive candidates for Labour's NEC. This year, let's reconnect Labour with its mainstream.

The government will take a £12 billion hit on the public finances if/when it belatedly reduces the current [unrealistically high] OBR projection of net migration averaging 235k for next 3 years to about 130-150k. (But it could double that cost if it wants to stay closer to zero net migration).

🚨 Put Labour Democracy First After years of stitched-up selections and hollowed-out democracy, Andy Burnham has the chance to turn the page. Use our lobbying tool and urge him to put democracy and members' rights at the forefront of his vision for Labour. mtm.is/labourdemocracy

Andy Burnham has renewed commitment to ending rough sleeping!👏✨🤞 But you can’t end rough sleeping without recognising the overlap with hostile immigration laws. If the PM is serious, he must scrap the hostile environment and recognise how cruel immigration policies contribute to rough sleeping. 💰➡️🩹🔥
