I’m incredibly proud of the Labour Party’s budget at Luton Borough Council today. After 14 years of austerity 180million, which hit services and residents, our Labour council once more delivered a balanced budget with a funding boost from the Labour government.

More than 64,000 Palestinians may have been killed by traumatic injury in the first nine months of the war in Gaza, according to a new study. It suggests that the Hamas health ministry tally, a figure the UN relies on, is a significant undercount. nyti.ms/4fZxCIv

Luton council faces criticism over lack of consultation as it backs devolution plan for Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes
A devolved strategic authority covering Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes, run by an elected mayor, "won't have a role in making decisions at a local level", according to Luton Borough Council.
