The aftermath is still being felt with the building safety crisis, and because those responsible need to be held to account.
While some progress has been made, we need to go further to ensure it can never happen again.
Lots of important by-elections happening in London and across the country - as well as THAT one. I know how hard labour activists worked in the recent elections but please do come out and help if you can.
Nigel Farage is getting desperate. My @politics.mirror.co.uk column on how the shine is really coming off Reform; making the changes in the Employment Rights Act a reality; the World Cup kicking off; and my theatre appearance this weekšš» www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Reform is importing populist tactics which have undermined democracy elsewhere to here, fuelling online mis and disinformation, conspiracies and murky crypto donations. We need tougher action. My latest in the Guardianš www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
This is sad news. Roy Hattersley, best known for being Neil Kinnockās deputy leader, shaped the Labour Party and British politics. He was a giant of our movement and of that generation of politicians. I met him a few times and he was always kind, thoughtful and full of sound advice. RIP.

Our whole movement has come together in Makerfield to elect @andyburnham.bsky.social Great to join @labourunionsuk.bsky.social, Labour activists and PLP colleagues on this crucial weekend before polling day on Thursday. Only Labour can defeat Reformās toxic politics, and represent working people.
Despite voters going to the polls just weeks ago, a number of Green councillors across London have stood down-meaning costly, unnecessary by-elections. Tonight Iāve been with Clapham Park Labour candidate Louie Somerville Sutherland speaking to residents about how committed he is to the area.
Today we remember the tragedy of Grenfell Tower nine years on.
72 lives lost. Lost because there were serious failures in regulation, in governance, and in accountability.
'This weekās Question Time - a great example of a political debate show - exposed just how far off Reform are from a serious party', Labour Deputy Leader Lucy Powell writes
