Progress rally: Wes Streeting - Progress
Wes Streeting told activists at the Lab18 Progress rally that new centrist parties are ‘on a road to nowhere’ – the full transcript of his speech: It is great to be here with Progress rally tonight. It is like one of Chris Williamson’s democracy tours, except the average age is about twenty years younger. And we are here to talk about how we elect more Labour MPs, rather than get rid of the ones we have got.
Why we all need to reflect when we talk about Gaza
Simple narratives that seek to cast all the blame of the Gaza conflict on one side are as naive as they are unhelpful to the cause of peace, writes Labour Friends of Israel’s Jennifer Gerber On Tuesday Labour Friends of Israel issued a tweet about the violence on the Gaza border which blamed Hamas for the tragic death of 60 Palestinians. Trying to sum up a complex, developing situation in 288 characters is not easy or wise. We got it wrong and I regret that.
This is not the path to peace
Progressives must speak up about what is happening at the Gaza border and what its wider implications mean: the current trajectory of Israeli and American policy offers no path to peace, writes Wes Streeting MP Yesterday was the bloodiest day of violence on the border between Gaza and Israel since the recent wave of protests began. Fifty-nine Palestinians were reported killed by Israeli forces, including six children.
Moving Labour forward together
Wes Streeting sets out why our Labour tradition is needed more than ever Thank you Progress for dragging us from our beds two days after polling day. So, to the election results. We won control of Plymouth and Kirklees Councils and became the largest party in Trafford. We gained seats in places we need to win in the next general election like Thurrock, Calder Valley and South Swindon which, replicated at a general election might even see us replace the Tories as the largest party.
The new frontline
The Uber saga shows we must ensure innovation works for all —Wes Streeting It has been a bad few months for Uber in the UK. In September, Transport for London (TfL) decided not to issue the app-driven minicab operator with a new licence, following serious concerns about Uber’s safety record. In November, Uber lost an appeal against a landmark ruling by an employment tribunal that Uber drivers should be treated as employees and afforded the same rights as other employees.
Too gig to fail?
Being pro-innovation should not allow us to be indifferent to corporate excess, says Wes Streeting ‘Defend the livelihoods of 40,000 drivers’. ‘Protect consumer choice for 3.5 million Londoners’. ‘800,000 people have supported our petition’. Uber can be criticised for many failings, but its public relations machine is not one of them.
