This week, a new report was launched by campaign groups on the Bibby Stockholm barge. Shocking testimonies from people living & working there described the inhumane “prison-like conditions.” Campaigners are demanding that any new Government not renew its contract. 1/
“The language that we use… even in the question ‘Do we have a sick note culture?’ It’s cruel” Chair of the NHS Confederation Victor Adebowale says the use of “performative” language needs to stop, and the government should show more "compassion" #bbcqt bbc.in/4b8DVY2
Out this week in sunny Hyson Green with Cllr Ali and @kirstyljones 🌞✌🏽 On 2nd May, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire will elect our first ever East Midlands Mayor. Make sure you use your vote!
How would Labour's plan for railways help you?
More than 34,000 Palestinians killed. 85% of Gaza’s population displaced. Forced starvation. Mass graves discovered in destroyed hospitals. How many more atrocities will it take for our government to stop enabling genocide? End arms sales to the IDF, now.
Rail privatisation has been a complete failure. Delays and cancellations have become the new normal, and passengers are paying through the nose as shareholders line their pockets. Labour will nationalise our entire train network within five years. 💯 theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
It's now over five years since the Tories promised to scrap Section 21 no-fault evictions. Private tenants will wait for years more if the government waters down its Renters Reform Bill today. Labour will end Section 21 evictions immediately - no ifs, no buts.
Since the Tories promised to ban no-fault evictions, 85,000 households have faced the risk of homelessness as a result of one. Five years on, the ban has been delayed indefinitely. In unrelated news, 1 in 5 Tory MPs, including at least seven cabinet ministers, are landlords.
1 in 3 disabled renters are forced to live in unsuitable homes. Despite the availability of government funding, landlords often decline requests to make homes accessible. I tabled an amendment to the Renters Reform Bill to stop landlords unreasonably refusing home adaptations.
Politicians say they’ll do whatever it takes to stop the boats & the drownings. But the one thing they won’t do is give people safe alternative ways to travel. So we’ll always be waiting for the next tragedy. Safe routes are the only thing that will stop the smugglers #r4today
Today marks the start of Black Maternal Health Awareness Week. Black mothers remain 4x more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth & postpartum. This week is a reminder that action is needed to address the inequalities Black women face at every stage of the birthing journey.
31 years on from his murder, we remember Stephen Lawrence and his family’s brave struggle for justice. Last year’s damning Casey Review found that the Met was still institutionally racist and failing victims. An apology is not enough. Stephen’s case must be reopened.

Ben Bradley is right, the Government is destroying local government and it’s about to collapse if they continue to strip resources and pile on pressure. It’s a shame this is the consequence of his own actions, he has consistently voted to cut local government funding.

This Friday I'm bringing a Parliamentary Bill to ban MPs taking a single penny from oil & gas companies. These firms have driven up your energy bills and brought us to the edge of climate catastrophe. Yet some MPs have pocketed vast sums of money from them. It must be stopped.

From the Asian Youth Movements sending minibuses up to Orgreave to the Indian Workers' Associations organising street collections, South Asian solidarity was prominent during the miners' strike. I have a long read in this issue, detailing many of these stories for the first time

Today Ministers refused to turn up to the Committee discussing arms exports to Israel. And when they do turn up in Parliament, they mislead MPs about arms sales to Israel and push the false claim that Britain has one of the most robust arms controls licence systems in the world.
Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500. It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record. I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵
It's now over five years since the Tories promised to scrap Section 21 no-fault evictions. Private tenants will wait for years more if the government waters down its Renters Reform Bill today. Labour will end Section 21 evictions immediately - no ifs, no buts.
When I speak to young people across the country, the confidence and pride that comes from playing sport is so clear to see. My Labour government will widen access to PE and the arts, so every child can be active at school.
