I’ve spent my life working alongside people whose lives changed in the blink of an eye. When someone suffers — through industrial disease, accidents, illness, or mental health challenges — they deserve support. Their right to dignity shouldn’t depend on the date on a calendar.

Today the APPG on Occupational Safety & Health launches an important report. Covered here in The Times and The Sunday Times: we call on government to ban Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics from public contracts until it makes right its inherited asbestos legacy.

I hope today I will get the chance to speak in the Welfare Bill debate. I refuse to take money from the ill, the injured and the disabled. I’ll be trying to persuade my colleagues to make the right decision.

People didn’t vote for The Labour Party’s “change” to be a change for the worse. They really had some faith in us, I still want to deliver on what we promised them. That is why I am voting against this Welfare Bill.

I wasn’t elected to take money from the poorest in society. The way in which the Labour government has tried to pass the Welfare Bill has shown everything that is going wrong in our Party. We need real change, not cuts to welfare.

Excellent to address today’s conference talking about the need for more focus to be put onto Mesothelioma and other Asbestos related cancers.

Today is Retail Workers Day - a chance to thank everyone who works hard to keep our highstreets thriving. It’s also a chance to reflect on the awful abuse so many staff face and the brilliant work UsdawUnion does to stand up for them.

Yesterday speaking to World at One I said it is a huge disappointment to see talented politicians who tirelessly serve their communities leave Labour. But it’s the inevitable consequence of members on the left, who’ve had a place in the party for a century, being hounded out.

The PLP needs to put its foot down & stop this nonsense briefed out by some of the clowns around No10. The idea that scrapping the 2 child limit is to be some sort of punishment beating of the PLP for voting against disability benefit cuts is disgusting. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
