  1. Attended a brilliant Wantage Labour Party meeting in Didcot this evening where we had an excellent wide ranging discussion covering a range of topics including Brexit, Latin America, industrial democracy, local govt and common sense socialism.

  2. Great words by a great man and a football legend. It's common sense. It's common decency. It's socialism.

  3. Replying to
  4. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! As says: "Profiting from violence and human rights violations...is both immoral and a contravention of international law." So this is a welcome step by HSBC.

  5. This Boxing Day, the bloodsports brigade continue indulging in their perverted fox-hunting pastime, flouting the existing law. The next Labour govt will remove the loopholes from the Hunting Act and will make illegal hunting an imprisonable offence.

  6. Tory policy means 120,000 kids will wake up on Christmas Day without a home. Meanwhile rough sleeping has increased for seven consecutive years and, last week, a homeless man died a stones throw from parliament. The only thing that can change all this is a Labour government.

  7. Private Eye has reported that the anti-propoaganda unit is taking tips from the security masterminds who tried to sell the wisdom of going to war in Iraq! And this outfit was set up by the Institute for Statecraft that's received £millions from HM Govt!!!

  8. It was a great pleasure to be the guest speaker at the Kings Lynn branch of the London Region of the GMB union tonight. Great company, wonderful solidarity and absolutely delicious Christmas meal. to Norfolk

  9. Replying to

    And this documentary is well worth a watch. It highlights the possibilities and opportunities of defence diversification.

  10. Further to my statement above, I realise it's helpful to issue this further clarification.

  11. I've written to Spanish PM about the campaign launched by this summer against the appointment of Pedro Baños as Spain’s Director of National Security. Spain is a valued ally and friend. What happened is scandalous and it must be fully investigated.

  12. He enviado esta carta al Sr. PG sobre la campaña hecha por en contra del nombramiento de Pedro Baños como director de DSN de España. España es un verdadero aliado y amigo, y lo que pasó es un escándalo que debe ser investigado a fondo. ENGLISH →

  13. I will be available at my advice surgery this evening from 5:00 - 7:00 at my constituency office in Derby at 9A Theatre Walk in the Intu Centre

  14. in Bournemouth East. I was the guest speaker at their excellent Christmas fundraising event held at AFC Bournemouth's stadium last night. Their outstanding parliamentary candidate will be a brilliant MP, who'll be a formidable advocate for Bournemouth

  15. Super meeting hosted by Folkestone & Hythe Labour Party tonight. A big thank you to the fantastic for organising the event and to local members for the 'Vote Hope' mug, which I'll put to good use. Make no mistake to Folkestone & Hythe

  16. The privatisation of the Probation Service was an abject failure and contracts were terminated two years early at a cost of hundreds of millions. Now the govt wants to make the same mistake again. Why? The only answer is a fanatical obedience to a failed ideology.

  17. Very pleased to be invited to address a meeting organised by Dundee University Action Palestine and Dundee TUC where I spoke about plans to formally launch the Labour and Palestine group in the New Year.

  18. Great to meet up with Jim McGovern in Dundee this evening at the local Labour Party social event, where I was invited to speak. Labour is working hard to win back Dundee to build a future for the many not the few.

  19. I visited the registered premises of the dubious 'Institute for Statecraft' just outside Auchtermuchty this evening.
