As European leaders compete to increase military spending while threatening welfare cuts, the burden will fall disproportionately on working people and minority communities, warns DIANE ABBOTT MP

Dangerous and delusional military posturing on the world stage does not serve the interests of the public among the European powers, nor the people of Ukraine, writes DIANE ABBOTT

DIANE ABBOTT MP condemns the government’s vicious attack on benefits that callously denies the pandemic’s impact on the working class while pushing vulnerable people into unsuitable work through punitive measures

Comparing Budget measures to fictional Tory plans rather than actual spending levels conceals continued austerity, argues DIANE ABBOTT MP, as workers face stealth tax increases to bear the cost of economic stagnation

Labour cannot afford ‘business as usual,’ or we risk a Farage-led right resurgence — from nationalisation to climate action, the public wants progressive policies, argues DIANE ABBOTT MP

With far-right parties making major gains recently in Europe, it’s worth paying close scrutiny to Farage’s party and taking the threat it poses seriously, writes DIANE ABBOTT

The brutality and death toll in Gaza are daunting, but our movement against it is having an effect here in Britain, writes DIANE ABBOTT MP

The argument that Hamas must be rooted out and destroyed before the Israeli onslaught on Gaza relents is not valid on humanitarian grounds — and may not even be possible, writes DIANE ABBOTT MP

Around the world people are calling for international law to be respected and the siege to be lifted immediately, writes DIANE ABBOTT MP
