I’m honoured to have been backed by UNISON to be the next leader of the Labour Party.

UNISON members represent some of the best of our movement and our country. unison.org.uk/news/press-rel…
The union represents over a million public servants who dedicate their lives to caring for others: nurses, care workers and teaching assistants.
I want to lead a Labour Party that will stand side-by-side with trade unionists.

United we can rebuild our party, take the fight to the Tories and win. #AnotherFutureIsPossible

Labour has sensible, costed, practical measures that would give immediate help to working people across the country.
 
The government should hold an emergency budget to enact them, and address the yawning chasm left by the spring statement. 1/6
Labour would introduce a windfall tax on oil and gas producers to cut household energy bills by up to £600. 2/6
Labour’s plan provides support for struggling businesses.

We would give small and medium-sized businesses a discount on their business rates worth up to £5,700 this year, funded by a tax on online giants. 3/6

Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine is unprovoked and unjustifiable.

His actions will have horrendous and tragic consequences that will echo throughout the world and throughout history.
All those who believe in the triumph of democracy over dictatorship, good over evil, freedom over the jackboot of tyranny must now support the Ukrainian people. They have been cast onto the frontline of a war, simply for existing.
There can be no space for equivocation when faced with the evil that Putin has unleashed. His actions pose a grave threat to the international order on which we all depend.

After the despicable acts of violence we witnessed on Thursday, the end of the evacuation from Kabul Airport marks a sad and dark day for many people in Afghanistan. [Thread]
Amid the chaos, there have been many acts of courage. The Ambassador staying at his post to process every case he could. Paratroopers lifting people from the crush. Afghan soldiers who continue to serve alongside us to the end.
Soldiers and airmen, diplomats and embassy staff, working side by side with many Afghans have struggled tirelessly and bravely under immense pressure to get as many people to safety as possible. Their efforts must be widely recognised and honoured.

The IPCC report is the starkest reminder yet that the climate crisis is here right now and is the biggest long term threat we face.
It confirms that the extreme weather events of recent months are only going to become more frequent, and that we need urgent action both to drive down emissions in this decisive decade and to adapt to the changes to our climate that are already baked in.
The biggest threat we now face isn't climate denial but climate delay.

Those who, like Boris Johnson, acknowledge there is a problem, but simply don't have the scale of ambition required to match the moment.

Our communities and planet can no longer afford the Tories' inaction.

The reason why football is the most important and loved sport across the globe is because it is a simple game anyone can play and anyone can enjoy. 1/5
Even in this era of ‘super clubs’, we still see incredible moments, results and upsets.

And even if results don’t go your way, well, there’s always next season... 2/5
The ‘super league’ proposal leaked today cuts across all the things that make football great. It diminishes competition. It pulls up the drawbridge.

It is designed for and by a small elite. 3/5

The United Kingdom has lost an extraordinary public servant in Prince Philip.
 
Prince Philip dedicated his life to our country - from a distinguished career in the Royal Navy during the Second World War to his decades of service as the Duke of Edinburgh.
However, he will be remembered most of all for his extraordinary commitment and devotion to The Queen.

For more than seven decades, he has been at her side.
Their marriage has been a symbol of strength, stability and hope, even as the world around them changed - most recently during the pandemic.

It was a partnership that inspired millions in Britain and beyond.
