Shocking findings from the COVID PPE fast lane - this time Tory peer, Lord Chadlington.
❌ 3 breaches of Lords rules:
1. providing parliamentary services in return for payment or reward
2. failing to co-operate with previous investigations
3. failure to “act on his personal honour”
Full report👇🏻
Thanks Kate!
Thank you Stirling. Very kind of you to say so.
Delighted to be taking on a role in Parliament starting today 👇
George Cottrell is a convicted fraudster and should be nowhere near British politics.
Reform need to explain why they’re happy to have him as one of Farage’s key lieutenants.
Very interesting. Seems like a great read to renew and refocus during Lent. Best wishes PB
Today's World Book Day! Reading unlocks the world! Whether reading for pleasure, for self-development or to learn new things about the world - reading has it all!
Currently reading The Wizard of the Kremiln, an exploration of the creation of modern Russia under Putin.

As communities gather to share colour, food, dance, and joy, Labour extends warm wishes of a Happy Holi to all who celebrate.
Important report out today from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
We've spent months scrutinising the UK-EU reset.
The conclusions should provide a warning to Ministers: we've made important steps already, but we need clear timelines and deliverables to drive negotiations and secure benefits.
My take on the spring statement - the plan is working.
A hard truth: a democracy can be stolen without anyone taking away a single vote.
Today, the Representation of the People Bill comes before the House. The UK must close the loopholes that let dirty money and foreign interference shape our politics unseen.
Always a joy to have a Carrs steak pasty, coffee and a sweet treat at Middlebrook after campaigning.
What’s your pasty of choice?
Support for kinship carers is something I have raised with government. Delighted to see the Labour government has selected Bolton to be one of seven pilot 'Kinship Zones', accompanied by record investment.
So proud to support my friend Angeliki Stogia in Gorton and Denton today.
She’s worked so hard for Manchester for years as a local councillor.
Her passion for the city region shines through.
Out in Gorton and Denton today!
Farage and his Tory turncoats can't be trusted.
Labour's Angeliki Stogia is the only person who can stop Reform in Gorton & Denton on Thursday.
⚡️Energy bills to fall by 7% in April due to Budget decisions.
- energy bills falling
- inflation ⬇️
- record government surplus in January
- wages ⬆️
- business investment ⬆️
- fastest growing European G7 economy
This is why we need financial transparency in our Overseas Territories.
Not because it’s a nice to have or some niche pipe dream.
But because the veil of secrecy allows bad fair actors to use secrecy to their benefit - in this case evading sanctions on Russia.
Deputy Leader of Lancashire County Council shared a horrendous post calling for a MP to be shot.
Yet he faces no consequences for his actions.
2 MPs have been murdered in the past 10 years.
This is why MPs have to use security & take precautionary measures - awful.
Excellent from Labour’s MP candidate in Gorton and Denton, Angeliki Stogia 👇🏻
My statement on the four year anniversary of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Labour is rising to the generational challenge of properly supporting children with SEND.
We will set out our vision and ambition for a schools system where every child can achieve and thrive.

A fascinating account of the run-up to Putin’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
A photo montage of labour campaigners out in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Over 300 activists out today across Gorton & Denton (despite the rain) - here’s a snapshot.
At Camp Viking with the Marines up in northern Norway on the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme - visiting our troops, understanding the Russian threat and learning lessons about defence for use in Westminster.
“History teaches us that deterrence fails when adversaries sense disunity and weakness. If Russia perceives Europe in this way, it may be emboldened to extend its aggression beyond Ukraine. Indeed, we know that Moscow’s intentions range wider than the current conflict.”
Lucy with Andy Burnham, Angeliki and Ed Miliband
Huge numbers of Labour activists out today in Denton, Burnage and, with me in Levenshulme, @edmilibandmp.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social, Angeliki Stogia, speaking to progressive voters who recognise that only we can stop Reform across the whole constituency.

Abhorrent views from Matt Goodwin’s outriders in Gorton and Denton.
All the more reason to vote Labour on Thursday, 26th February 👇🏻
Fantastic to see Smithills’ very own Huw Nightingale win a gold for #TeamGB in the mixed snowboard cross!
Congrats to him and to Charlotte Bankes on an incredible victory earlier today!
