Suspended for over a year for voting to scrap the 2-child cap, @ApsanaBegumMP had the whip restored last week.

And it now looks like the Government will scrap the cap.

They should have listened to Apsana and the other suspended MPs from the start.

Instead of pushing policies that alienate voters and legitimise Reform, Labour should be bringing in a progressive programme that improves living standards and rebuilds public services.

After a deeply unpopular first year in office, Labour must change direction completely.

That means tackling the poverty and the cost-of-living crisis by making the super-rich pay their fair share.

It's time for a wealth tax - @richardburgon.bsky.social.
It’s time for a wealth tax – Richard Burgon MP
"Despite the continued fearmongering of the rich & powerful, the public overwhelmingly supports making those with extreme wealth pay up."

Labour Women's Conference was due to take place on Saturday but has been postponed - likely cancelled - by the Party.

It should serve as an important democratic function that allows women's voices to be heard and directly influence policy.

Talk of even more cuts to disability support in the Autumn Budget is deeply worrying.

More cuts will only hinder, not help. Get this wrong and mental health spirals, confidence plummets and employers slam the door shut, writes @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social.
Disability Welfare Cuts Risk Greater Harm – Rachael Maskell MP
Rachael Maskell MP argues that punitive welfare cuts fail disabled people, while investment in education, support, and inclusive workplaces enables sustainable employment and independence.

4.5 million children are currently growing up in poverty in one of the richest countries in the world.

Starmer and Reeves' approach is wrong - we CAN tackle poverty and inequality. We need the political willpower to do it.

Rampant poverty and inequality, and the repeated failure to address them, have created fertile ground for the rise of the far-right.

Grassroots music venues are rooted in our communities and play an invaluable role in building bridges, giving a voice to marginalised groups and the fight against genocide. 🇵🇸
