A welcome statement from Buckingham Palace that rightly centres concern for the victims and survivors of abuse.

A STATEMENT FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE

His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.

Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

Zero Hour for the Climate & Nature Bill @zero-hour.bsky.social · 8d

🌍 Olivia Blake MP: “I'm proud to launch the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus. History tells us when the UK faces an existential challenge, we act—together. Today, the challenge is planetary, but the principle is the same: shared action for the common good.”

'This is Britain's quiet emergency. We must act together to end it' - LabourList

It is only by working together - across parties, communities and generations - that we can restore the connections that sustain us and turn this crisis into a legacy of renewal.

We were also delighted to welcome Monica Lennon, MSP, and a team from the Children’s Commissioner’s Office to work with some of our P7 pupils on children’s rights and the environment. They were keen to hear our opinions on the Ecocide Bill and the impact that this may have on our young people. 🌍♻️

Lucy Powell MP @lucympowell.bsky.social · 19d

Enjoyed meeting members & campaigning in Blantyre in Scotland with the brilliant @monicalennon.bsky.social. Those I spoke to had a clear sense of how things need to change. 95 year old Helen, who first campaigned for Labour aged 10, should be made an adviser - she’d tell it how it is!

An inspiring day in Blantyre hosting Lucy Powell MP. Our members and supporters had thoughtful and passionate questions about the future we want to build.

Lucy clearly has her finger on the pulse of our communities; as Deputy Leader she’ll be a crucial constructive bridge to the Labour leadership.

The two child benefit cap is a ticking time bomb on child poverty. Each year another 40,000 children are pushed into poverty by it. We need to act urgently to transform lives and change these statistics. That’s what Labour governments do.

Climate change was responsible for an estimated 16,500 additional deaths in Europe this summer.

Strong leadership and urgent action are necessary with experts advising deaths are "preventable” if countries continue to reduce their emissions and combat climate change.

Thousands died from heat made worse by climate change this summer

Italy and Spain were the most affected countries.

So important to celebrate recovery from alcohol (and other) addictions- meet anyone in recovery and it tends to be an uplifting experience. Thank you so much to @monicalennon.bsky.social for using your role in public life to break down stigma surrounding addiction
