The agonies of the Palestinians in Gaza are extreme.

Humanitarian help must flood into their hands - and we pay tribute to UK Armed Forces for getting aid into Gaza.

We need an immediate ceasefire now, hostages released now and unimpeded aid into Gaza now.

Labour have been pushing for action to establish an independent football regulator, so we welcome the introduction of the Football Governance Bill.

I spoke in Parliament about the need to get the detail right to protect clubs and the football pyramid.

The Labour team has been out in #Didsbury campaigning in Local elections this week for Councillor Debbie Hilal and Andy Burnham . There is a good response on doorsteps. Vote #Labour on 2 May.

Britain’s pensioners deserve certainty, and for politicians to be straight with them so they can plan their lives.

That's why the pensions triple lock will be in the Labour manifesto and protected for the duration of the next parliament.

Ending service charge abuse ultimately requires bringing the archaic and iniquitous leasehold system to an end.

With the Tories having failed to do so, ministers must at least act now to protect leaseholders and shared owners from the excessive demands so many are being served.

Britain’s railways are broken.

Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system.

Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first.

The Deputy Prime Minister appears to have forgotten who crashed the economy in 2022, and who’s been in charge for the last 14 years.

My question at PMQs today:

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.

I support Labour’s Better Buses plan that would replicate Andy Burnham’s success developing the Bee Network across the country.

Brilliant to meet Gingerbread launching new manifesto for single parent families at #GeneralElection with Jeff Smith and Mark Spencer

Once again the Lords have passed sensible and proportionate amendments to the government’s terrible Safety of Rwanda Bill. I’ll be voting for them today, and Labour will continue to oppose this unworkable and unethical legislation

After scrutiny over Ofsted inspections in recent months, the government has launched its “Big Listen” – calling for the views of parents, children and professionals. The consultation is running until the 31st May.

A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs.

Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need.
