I was pleased to speak at the launch of the APPG on Migration and APPG on Poverty's joint inquiry on migration and poverty.

It’s time to create a system that supports refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, so they can do more than just survive, but thrive in our communities.

The passing of the Post Office Offences Bill is a historic moment & a vital part of achieving justice for Subpostmasters.

It is vital ALL subpostmaster convictions are overturned incl in Scotland & those responsible for the #HorizonScandal in PO & Fujitsu are held to account.

The UK’s immigration system is broken, and is breaking the people within it.

A more effective and less cruel system would serve our country, economy and society far better.

Today it was Education Questions in Parliament — perhaps the last time before the General Election.

The Shadow Education team were again holding Ministers to account for the mess they’ve made of our children’s future.

A thread: 🧵

Nearly 8 million people in England are living in homes that are cold, need repair, or have serious hazards.

I'm proud to support the #SafeHomesNow campaign. We need a national plan to fix unsafe homes and improve the lives of millions of people.

Ageing Better

The Rwanda scheme is a national disgrace.

The UK has an international obligation to provide safety for refugees but instead this government is intent on using vulnerable people for political capital.

Britain's railways are simply not delivering.

Labour has a plan to get them back on track, to put passengers first, and to get Britain moving 👇

Our future depends on protecting the natural world.

But the Conservatives are destroying it.

Labour will conserve nature and help it recover. This commitment will run through Labour’s five missions to transform Britain.

From climate change to deep sea mining, overfishing and pollution, our oceans are under threat like never before.

The UK must urgently ratify the Global Ocean Treaty if we are to stay on track with the global goal of protecting at least 30% of the world's oceans by 2030.

EXPLAINED: How Labour will fix Britain’s railways 🚆👇

🚨🚆After 30 years of privatised railways it’s clear the system is broken - and the failure to fix it could be costing the public as much as £2.2 billion a year.

Labour will bring the railways back under control of the people who use it, putting passengers and workers first.

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will create Great British Railways.

Under Labour our railways will be:

✅Publicly owned
✅Passenger focused
✅Fit for the future

Only Labour has a plan to get our trains back on track:

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.
