Yorath played for Leeds from 1967 until 1976, helping secure the First Division title in 1974! ⚽️

I support the pathways clinical trial, but it is clear that many, many young people presenting with gender incongruence will not be able to access it.
What additional support can we provide for those people?

Visits to deepfake abuse sites have risen 3000% since 2019.
That’s thousands of ordinary women and girls being exploited online via non-consensual deepfakes.
Labour is tackling the issue at the source – making it illegal to supply the tools for creating explicit deepfakes.

The Tories pulled us out of the #Erasmus scheme.
With Labour, the UK is rejoining that scheme. This will mean every young person has the chance to study or train abroad, no matter their background.

The co-operative model works.
It works for the people who own the co-op, it works for the people who depend on it, and it works for local economies.
We spoke with @alexsobel.co.uk and Sharon from Be Caring in Leeds about the advantages of co-operation in care.

I want to reiterate my belief that we should view people seeking asylum & other migrants as human beings.
We need to move away from rhetoric that pits communities against one another. Refugees & asylum seekers do not make Britain weaker. They enrich it, economically, culturally & socially.

I spoke to 40 Ukrainian young people about the UK’s support for Ukraine through the UKUA Future Leaders Exchange programme. This initiative aims to strengthen UK-Ukraine ties and help ‘rebuild’ Ukraine by focusing on its future leaders, fostering their leadership skills and resilience.
