At the going down the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
ALT A black and white historical image shows a group of soldiers walking through a battlefield. Overlaid is a large red poppy with the words "LEST WE FORGET" in the center. Below, "REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2026" is written. A crest is at the top of the image.

If elections are political theatre, South America has always known how to put on a show.
The left in the UK can learn much from President Lula’s victory in Brazil. Check out my latest @LabourList article, co-authored with the brilliant @benwesson 🇧🇷🇬🇧

Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your re-election - a true victory for democracy and progressive values.
I look forward continuing to work together as we create opportunities for people in the UK and Brazil.

Brazil's left-wing President Lula has celebrated with his family and allies, after being elected for a fourth term. He defeated Flávio Bolsonaro - the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. Read more: bbc.in/4zWY8g0

Huge congratulations to our former committee member Claire Tighe on receiving the Freedom of the City of London!
It is a richly deserved recognition of her tireless work for the Irish community and strengthening British–Irish relations.
We're so proud of you, Claire! 💚
Some people deserve to be celebrated & @claire_tigher is absolutely one of them. ❤️
Congrats on receiving the Freedom of the City of London in recognition of your brilliant work strengthening British-Irish relations.
So lovely to celebrate this incredible honour with you! 🥂

An honour beyond belief to receive the Freedom of the City of London on Friday and share the joy with family & friends from near and far, remembering too those who have gone before me who I would not be here without. It simply was the best of days🌹☘️✨ – at London, England

This Baby Loss Awareness Week and always, we remember every baby who has died and stand with every family living with loss 🤍
It has been a hugely significant year for maternity - from the Ockenden and Amos reports published, to the Thirlwall Inquiry, progress towards a National Maternity Commissioner, and new reviews beginning in Leeds and Sussex.
Through all of this, lived experience must be at the heart of change.
📢 Next week, a debate on Baby Loss will be held in the House of Commons. Email your MP and ask them to take part on 12th Oct: writetothem.com/
We owe it to every baby lost and every family left grieving to listen, learn and make maternity care safer.

Could not be prouder of @Sagal_AW - she is going to be a fantastic MP!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this positive, hopeful campaign - and helped deliver such a definitive victory tonight! 🌹
Amid all the attention on Brazil’s presidential run-off, yesterday also brought a truly historic moment.
@ErikakHilton has become the most-voted-for woman in the history of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies. Viva Erika! ✊🏾🏳️⚧️❤️🇧🇷
British interference in the Brazilian presidential election! 🚨😅

This Labour government is restoring vital Sure Start health services to every family hub across the country.

At Labour Women’s Conference this afternoon, I spoke to the motion on Women’s & Girls’ Safety in Education. I supported the call to strengthen online harms laws and asked how we can tackle misogyny early and protect women and girls from online abuse. #Lab26
