    Be prepared for another hugely biased documentary against the miners. Portrays MT as a strategic genius and AS as a blundering idiot. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Gilberto Malvestuto was the first Italian Partisan to set foot in Bologna after fighting to liberate it from the Nazis. A few days ago, a crowd celebrated his 100th birthday with a chorus of ‘Bella Ciao’ outside the nursing home.

    Tonight I met the PM and pressed for support for those affected by coronavirus, including rent deferrals, mortgage holidays, higher statutory sick pay and income protection for insecure, low-paid and self-employed workers. It’s essential for both public health and social justice.

    I've written to Boris Johnson calling for emergency support for people affected by the coronavirus epidemic, including rent deferrals and mortgage holidays, higher statutory sick pay from day one, and income protection for insecure, low-paid and self-employed workers.

    If there was a young white boy with blonde hair, who dabbled in class A drugs, and conspired with a friend to beat up a journalist, would he deport him? Or is it one rule for young black boys born in the Caribbean, and another for white boys born in the US? -

    Donald Trump’s Middle East deal is not a peace plan. It is a plan to lock in illegal Israeli colonisation and deny Palestinian rights. It is a threat to peace. The UK government should oppose this travesty and press for a real peace deal and a genuine two state solution.

    Boris Johnson pledged in the election that the NHS was not for sale. He has already broken that promise.

    I just read today’s front pages... What it is about Labour’s plans to make the super-rich pay their fair share that the billionaire press barons don’t like?

    This never happened. Invented by the Tories to divert your attention from a child having to lie on a hospital floor; reported by media that didn’t bother to check if it was true. This is what media bias looks like.

    As Prime Minister, I will be an honest broker and not campaign for either side in the final say referendum. We will negotiate a good deal, put that to the people alongside remain and then implement your decision. We must bring the country together and get beyond Brexit.

    The Tories want to keep their NHS sell-off plan secret. We cannot and will not let this happen.

    Labour will make broadband fast and free for everybody, in every home, in every corner of our country. This is real change.

    If I was proposing the creation of our NHS today, the Conservatives would call it health communism.

    To see who, along with a powerful movement, has brought so much social progress forced from office by the military is appalling. I condemn this coup against the Bolivian people and stand with them for democracy, social justice and independence.

    One week ago Donald Trump told Nigel Farage to make a pact with Boris Johnson. Today, Trump got his wish. This Trump alliance is Thatcherism on steroids and could send £500 million a week from our NHS to big drugs companies. It must be stopped.

    Donald Trump is trying to interfere in Britain’s election to get his friend Boris Johnson elected. It was Trump who said in June the NHS is “on the table”. And he knows if Labour wins US corporations won’t get their hands on it. Our NHS is not for sale.

    The Financial Times is right: “The Labour leadership is determined to shift power away from bosses and landlords and to workers and tenants.”
