Proud to support Sign Language Week.👇🏻 #SLW2024

A thought this morning for the inspirational Caroline Lucas who spent over a decade working hard to establish the Greens as a viable Parliamentary Party. She now steps down by handing over to four Green MPs who not only won, but won comfortably.

Amongst all the hot takes this morning, I'm very happy for my Mum, born and raised in the heart of Sussex.

Well done Andrew. Change!!

Exactly this. Labour winning this scale of majority with a relatively modest vote share is a sign of success, not of failure. We can have a conversation about voting reform, but to underplay that achievement is both bitter and ridiculous

What a disgrace these people are. Good on Jess Phillips for winning, taking these idiots on & standing her ground. This kind of thuggish intimidation has no place in our politics. No one should have to put up with this.

Don’t want to do the whole prophetic fallacy thing - but as Starmer drives to Downing St the sun comes out. What a contrast to May 22 when Sunak launched the election campaign

A good case that the Lib Dems just ran the most successful campaign (given the starting point) in British political history. They won every seat they targeted bar Jeremy Hunt's, in every part of the country. Absolutely clinical.

Simply superb content from England & Ivan Toney.

I am now officially sworn in as the Labour Member of Parliament for Welwyn Hatfield. I can't speak highly enough of how the UK House of Commons staff have supported all new MPs this week. It has been a humbling experience to walk the corridors with so many dedicated public servants.

A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK “Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home. My thoughts on the Bushey tragedy

British political culture pillar 1: “we want working class kids to get to the top.” British political culture pillar 2: “let’s slam when they do! And especially their only means of getting there- the education they got through their own hard work.” Seems logical!

England MEN'S long wait. MEN'S. Men are not the default. It's really not that hard.

My first intervention in the UK House of Commons today. Very pleased the Prime Minister confirmed that the deal we currently have with the EU is not good enough and will change. Our The Labour Party government will reset the relationship with the EU to help drive growth in our economy.

Far too many women have been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse and violence for far too long. With violence against women and girls declared a ‘National Emergency’, we need our male allies to stand up and call out troubling behaviour when they see it. #JustDont

An honour to give my maiden speech yesterday. I talked about what unites us in politics and paid tribute to the history of Welwyn Hatfield. I was also clear that too much potential in our community is going unfulfilled and pledged to be an agent for change youtu.be/HNWKpAdBgMI?si…
