Eight days ago, Israeli forces killed 15 paramedics in Gaza "one by one" and buried them in a mass grave.

1,060 healthcare workers have been killed in the past 18 months.

These are war crimes. How many more must occur for our government to end arms sales and sanction Israel?

The cuts to welfare announced in this week’s spring statement risk driving thousands of children into poverty, the polar opposite of what a Labour government should do.

We strongly urge the Chancellor to reconsider these cuts.

The super-rich should be paying their way through a wealth tax, As little as a 2% tax on wealth over £10 million would raise £24 billion every year. Money that will go to our NHS, our social care services, our buses and our schools. My full response,🔗in comments 👇

🆕| A new RCN report shows nurses would stay in their NHS jobs up to a decade longer if their student loans were forgiven.

It is time to fix our broken nurse education system. For our patients and our NHS.

The govt must act. Now.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Elon Musk is dismantling USAID, which funds the UN's World Food Programme, refugee aid, women’s health in conflict zones, clean water, HIV treatments, energy security, and anti-corruption work.

Why is the richest man in the world so invested in making everyone else poorer?

Nottingham has a proud tradition of solidarity. We look after each other and we don’t fall for con artists playing divide and rule.

So, in our hundreds, we showed the small anti-trans march that their views are not welcome. Their movement is a danger to trans people and women.

Today, Netanyahu said working with Trump can "redraw" the Middle East map "for the better".

The same Trump who made comments about “cleaning out the Gaza Strip” and pushing millions of Palestinians to neighbouring countries.

These ideas are nothing short of ethnic cleansing.

Government has the power to improve nursing pay, but right now the UK govt has suggested only funding a 2.8% pay increase for NHS staff in England next year.

We say the PRB process is outdated. It's time for direct negotiations on pay.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the over 350 trans people killed globally this year, and many more who have died by suicide.

These are the violent consequences of anti-trans extremism.

We won’t rest until everyone in our society has dignity, freedom and safety.

From today, women effectively work for free until the rest of the year due to the gender pay gap.

It’s two days earlier than last year because the gap has grown for the first time since 2013.

We must end the undervaluation of women’s work for good.
