Today - along with other rebels - I got an email from Party Authorities telling me I voted in Parliament against the Govts welfare reforms 6 times in one day. I don't repent my votes. I was elected on a pledge to stand by working class electors and above all the poorest.

It was great to bump into Gary Stevenson as I was delivering my petition for a Wealth Tax to 10 Downing Street. Gary has done an absolutely amazing job making the case for a wealth tax and real action against wealth inequality. This is a campaign we are going to win!

This week, I delivered an 80,000-strong petition for a wealth tax to Downing Street. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 Million would raise £24 BILLION per year. And the polls show that 75% of the public supports a wealth tax! Let’s keep campaigning until we get one.

The situation in Gaza is indeed ´indefensible', Sir Keir. But my Mam taught me to watch what politicians do, not what they say. So why haven't we recognised Palestine and taken immediate &effective action against the Israeli State? Without action, words are empty vessels

Doctors play a vital role at key moments in our lives. They care for us. They cure us. They do not take the decision to strike lightly. They are striking for an extra £4 per hour for first year doctors with £100,000 student debt. The government needs to move on this. Solidarity

There has been a staggering 150% surge in UK billionaire wealth since 2010: ▪️2010: £250 Billion ▪️2025: £620 Billion The Government should not be making cuts. It should be introducing a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.

The Palestinian people have a right to their own state. Just like any other nation. It's not something to be debated and then traded at the UN which is weeks away. Meanwhile the children are dying. We need action now!!

Barclays made £1.7bn of profits in the three months to June. They plan to hand out £10bn to shareholders by the end of 2026. The financial sector is booming but the working class gets nothing in return. We need to put redistribution of wealth at the top of the agenda.

The Chancellor’s decision to force through a third runway at Heathrow is a disgrace - and makes a mockery of the government's alleged climate commitments. 15,000 people to lose their homes and millions more exposed to pollution, all so global aviation giants and shareholders can

For the next four weeks, we are lifting the 9.30am rule on older and disabled people’s bus passes. We hope it will help people over the summer as well as provide valuable data on whether we have the capacity and finances to make it permanent. Please help spread the word! 🙏🏻

I am opposed to flogging off alotments. They are precious community assets - often in working class communities - which we have been bequeathed by previous generations and which we ought to hold in trust for future generations.

I've long campaigned for a Wealth Tax - and it’s great to see the call growing stronger by the day. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 BILLION per year. And polls show that 75% of the public supports a wealth tax! Together, we can win this!

We can't forget the women who died before they saw justice in WASPI's 10 years of campaigning. We remember our lost friends and campaigners. #WASPI #SocialJustice #WomenHistory

Nearly 400,000 WASPI women have died without justice in the 10 years of our campaign. We fight on in their memory. #WASPI #SocialJustice #NotGoingAway

We’re at a dangerous moment in our country - where refugees are being blamed for all society's problems. While the super-rich, who really caused these problems, are busy taking more and more wealth from working class people. For 40 years, the ideas launched by Thatcher - cuts,

I recently organised this letter from 85 MPs and Lords from 9 parties calling for widespread sanctions on Israel, with my colleague Imran Hussain MP When Parliament returns next week, we'll be stepping up the pressure for sanctions. Only tough action will end Israel's Genocide.

Energy giants have made more than £500 billion in profits in the past five years. But that’s not enough to satisfy their greed. Today Ofgem announced that bills will rise by a further 2%. The government should intervene. Working class people cannot afford to pay more.
