FACT CHECK: ✅ Local Green groups were given an opportunity to denounce the disgraceful "Zionism is Racism" policy and call on their leadership to do the same. ✅ Several did, and those local arrangements remain in place. ❌ It's disappointing more Green groups didn't feel they could do the same - we continue to call on the Green Party to drop this appalling policy. ✅ Today's action addresses support for this unacceptable policy - which clearly crosses a line. Local power sharing arrangements cannot come at the expense of upholding the moral obligation we have to stand up for everyone in our communities and the values we share. ❌ Today's action was not about whether people can or cannot criticise the actions of the Israeli Government - as the Labour Party repeatedly has. ❌ Any suggestion that today's action was about anything other than the "Zionism is Racism" policy is plain misinformation. ✅ Labour councillors will continue working hard day in, day out for their local communities. That's what we do.
This will backfire on Labour. The Green Party want to tax billionaires, tackle the climate crisis and stop arming a genocide. Labour want to interrupt your local services & impose genocide support from it's local councils. Andy Burnham revealing himself and his project....

Remembering the formidable anti-racist campaigner Anwar Ditta. A working-class Kashmiri woman, she was born in Birmingham and lived in Rochdale, sharing platforms with the likes of Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill and leading numerous anti-deportation campaigns.

We don’t want ‘control’. We don’t want ‘public interest companies’ We want full-fat, public ownership now!
Our friends at @serauk challenging the CAC’s decision to rule out our joint motion calling for public ownership of water. Privatised water has failed. We need public ownership now - and Labour must be able to debate bold ideas to achieve real change. #LabourConference2026

We need to find ways of rekindling a fertile relationship between Labour and the wider world of progressive ideas. Mainstream have initiated just such an engagement project. renewal.org.uk/blog/labour-i…

It's nearly time for the NPF elections! 🌹 To defeat the far-right, we must rebuild a Labour movement that listens to its members and delivers for the people. If you're a Conference delegate and you want to help Mainstream transform our party, vote for our NPF team.

Practical reminder: the NEC ballot uses STV, so rank candidates in order of preference. Put Cat Arnold, @JOwusuNepaul & Kerry Postlewhite in your top preferences to make sure all three count. Voting preferences by region below Voting closes noon, Thu 27 August. 🌹👇

NEC elections close in 3 days. Labour needs a fresh start - on policy, strategy and culture - and that starts with a supportive and effective NEC that reflects the whole movement, not one tradition. Vote for Mainstream candidates before Thursday 27 August.🌹

When the Prime Minister pledged to end rough sleeping, we said we'd move urgently from words to action. Today we're delivering on that promise.   This funding will help thousands of people leave the streets behind, move into secure homes and get the support they need to rebuild their lives. lbc.co.uk/article/angela-ray…

Cat has spent two years on the NEC - celebrating wins, but never afraid to challenge. She's fought for better safeguarding, for equity, for a party that genuinely includes everyone. Labour needs members like Cat at its heart. Vote Cat Arnold in the CLP section.🌹

Meet Elizabeth🌹 Council leader, DCN finance lead, and the candidate fighting for councillors to have a real voice in Labour. She helped win back councillor pensions in 2024. Now she wants a fair, national allowances framework. If you’re a Labour member in local government, vote @CllrEDennis for Local Gov rep.

Congratulations to @DawnButlerBrent, whose tireless campaigning for an end to 'Aim to Permit' will now help to transform high streets across the country 💗✊🌹
🚨WE WON! After years of campaigning, the Govt is set to scrap ‘Aim to Permit’ - giving councils and local communities power to say NO to new gambling venues. We delivered for London and all UK. Thank you @andyburnham & to all who backed my campaign. Please share the news! 🥰
