We are thrilled to announce a huge victory! After two years of hard work to have the government recognise boiling lobsters alive is unlawful, our work has finally paid off. In its Animal Welfare Strategy it is now the official position that boiling these animals alive is illegal.

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

There were police everywhere in central London yesterday. I think there’s an attitude from some politicians who think the public likes this - that we’ll see it as a show of strength.
Are you joking? Londoners want to move about our city, and exercise free speech tolerantly.

This last minute critique of our campaign is right about one thing: the choice is clear.
Timid incremental change or bold leadership that both builds a movement and wins on the ground.
Members: it’s your call.
