Of course we need an immigration system that is both credible and fair but what has been touted by the Home Office satisfies neither criteria. The idea of deporting children mimics Trump’s ICE detention of children. (1/3)
It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.
I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.
Angela’s life embodies the Labour movement.
She has made monumental changes for working people, from strengthening workers’ rights to building council housing. This work needs to continue.
We were founded to represent working people, that is what our Labour Party must do.
I’m incredibly sad to see my friend Angela Rayner leave government.
We can’t now risk losing touch with who we are and who our party was founded to serve.
Whatever comes next, the Labour Party must speak to, deliver for and unite the country.
That’s what people asked us to do last year.
Choice alone does not ensure dignity - especially when not all choices are equal. We believe that the best way fully to honour each person’s dignity is to recognise and respect their life as part of our community, and to love, value and care for them throughout that life.
To often in this debate people have assumed that only those of religious conviction or conservative politics oppose assisted dying in principle. So I thought I would explain…
So incredibly proud of my boss @sarahowen.org.uk. She has spent years of her career (long before Parliament) campaigning to have miscarriage recognised as a bereavement in the workplace. This is how you live through pain and use it to bring healing for others. ❤️🩹
NEW: Minister Justin Madders confirms the government will add bereavement leave for those who have experienced miscarriage to the Employment Rights Bill in the Lords, after @sarahowen.org.uk's campaign. Thank you Sarah for your persistence and perseverance on this, it will mean so much to so many ❤️🌈

This is so lovely thank you 😭

I got nominated for an award but they spelled my name Jenny Symonds. Which of my nemeses did this?
Wembley way before the game
No goals last night but 78,000 voices making my ears ring just from the players coming on… the best feeling ✨
Just taking a moment to think about how normal it is now for women to have a job that is talking, writing, or presenting on football.
It was inconceivable not that long ago. There is much progress still to make, but I'm proud of all of them 💪⚽️
I am not generally in favour of blasphemy laws but if you put a *mince pie* at the top of your Christmas Tree you deserve jail time
📣 This is a PSA to the Parliamentary community: Stop treating PCH like the living room in your student flat 👎

This is very enlightening - thank you 🙏
"As we approach the vote on assisted dying this week, I’ve been struck by how arguments in favour have held to very white, Western concepts of what it is to be human."
Got a few things off my chest about race and #AssistedDying

There’s rubbish on the pitch… and I don’t mean Man Utd 😂😂🙂
I honestly think urban meadows are one of the best things to happen - parks and even little patches of wild flowers are such an improvement
Honestly the most DQ'ing thing I've seen about Harris is how she's stayed in dignified silence as everyone trashes her campaign. She stepped up at short notice when the party needed her, saved scores if not hundreds of down ballot colleagues who would have gone down with Biden & is getting no thanks
west ham paying kristie mewis a whole wage just so she can have sam kerr's baby is actually so funny. good for them!

Takes 30 seconds and ensures people know it's the real person.
Why do those bottles that footballers always drink out of look like little cow udders
Yes I agree 🙏
One of my absolute faves & we miss him dearly at Chelsea! 🥲
SLC in particular. Because I support Women in Business
The Testaments serves as a prequel and sequel I think?
