I regularly attend gigs at #RockCity. It’s a vital part of our music scene. I support staff who want union recognition for a collective voice at work. This matters to customers. Please sign and share this campaign for Unite Hospitality: megaphone.org.uk/petitions/dhp-… #Nottingham

I am one of over 100 Labour MPs who are backing an amendment to stop disability benefit cuts. It’s clear that MPs across the broad church of our party see these cuts as the wrong direction, especially after 14 years of Tory austerity. The government must now drop this Bill.

I'm calling on the Government to urgently rethink its proposed changes to welfare. Analysis of the proposals shows that the impact will be substantial, destroying the financial safety net for too many disabled Londoners ⬇️

870,000 children live in families who receive PIP. 290,000 of these children are already in poverty. What will happen to them if the government forces through disability benefit cuts? Over 100 Labour MPs have made it clear that these cuts are reckless. Let's drop them.

Dawn is right. Disabled working people should not have their #PIP cut. Thanks for your work and service in our #NHS. Great video GMB Midlands I hope the government listens.

We're in government with a massive mandate. There are other choices. People with PIP are not the 'broadest shoulders' Keir Starmer rightly talked about. Well done to the backers of the reasoned amendment and hope others join the effort to pull back from this. 1/2

The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:

4.5 million children in the UK are living in poverty. This is has been worsened by the two-child limit on universal credit. End it now! theguardian.com/society/2025/j… #ChildPoverty #TwoChildCap

Delighted to march with friends from the #NEU and across the labour movement to celebrate #Nottingham #Pride. It’s particularly great to catch up with old friends, ex pupils and activists who fight for the right for people to be who they are at work and everywhere else.

Social inequality is still the largest barrier to educational achievement. Fewer than 1/5th (18.6%) of white British pupils eligible for free school meals achieved at least a grade 5 in their English and maths GCSEs in 23/24 compared to 45.9% of all state pupils in #England #FSM

Spin it however you like, but electing a privately educated, ex Lib Dem, career politician ensconced in one of London’s fastest gentrifying boroughs is neither ‘revolutionary’ or a ‘breath of fresh air’, it’s normal service resumes for a party that represents that demographic.

Thanks Rep. Jamie Raskin for exposing the hypocrisy and nonsense that is being peddled by #Farage to further a political agenda that has nothing to do with #FreeSpeech. Worth watching!
