I have been contacted by many Liverpool West Derby constituents urging me to support a ceasefire and highlight the killing of innocent Palestinians. To confirm, I have signed the King’s Speech Amendment and I will be voting for a ceasefire in Parliament. #CeasefireNow

This week in Parliament I asked why, when we accept the universal requirement for all children to be in school, do we break the principle of universal care, nurturing & protection in relation to their meals during the school day? #UFSM #RightToFood #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice

In yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate on #FreeSchoolMeals I paid tribute to the fantastic efforts of ⁦ @MonksdownSchool ⁩ pupils & urged all politicians & the Govt to view universal provision as an investment in our children, rather than a cost. #RightToFood

Well done @AndyMcDonaldMP for exposing the immorality of the employment model used by @POferries Who could argue with the comparison with modern day slavery. Take a few minutes to watch this clip.👇

Today I challenged the CEO of P&O Ferries. He claimed that workers on his ferries were not sacked on 17 March 2022. I have a feeling the workers who were handcuffed by masked security guards and marched off the ship to be told they were now out of a job see it differently.

It's absurd that we break the principle of universal care for children when it comes to food, says @IanByrneMP - food is as essential to a child's school day as shelter, heating, clean water, adequate sanitation. All children should have equal #RighttoFood #SchoolFoodForAll

🧐 @POferries boss Peter Hebblethwaite 💷 £325,000 + £183,000 bonus = £508,000 or £244 PER HOUR ⚓️ P&O seafarers earn £4.87 per hour Hebblethwaite pockets 50 times the hourly rate earned by his seafarers! This is obscene profiteering from the unlawful sacking of UK seafarers.

Immediate impact of Israeli military taking control of the #Gaza side of #Rafah crossing: ❌ Desperately needed aid cannot enter Gaza - we have 16 @MedicalAidPal trucks in the queue ❌ Medical evacuations cannot take place ❌ Aid workers (inc doctors) cannot get in or out of Gaza

Tory legacy of war on the poor. 4.3m children in poverty. Malnutrition, scurry return. 11 year olds sectioned for mental health problems. Infant mortality rate double that of Japan, Finland, Slovenia, Sweden. 5 year olds 7cm shorter than Europeans.

There needs to be an urgent and significant step change in the Government's approach to this horrendous conflict. The UK can no longer allow itself to remain complicit in the deaths of civilians. It must immediately end sales of arms to Israel.

There is nowhere safe for #Rafah civilians to go; an attack here will be catastrophic & must not be allowed to happen. There are 650,000 children in Rafah, many already injured, starving & living in atrocious conditions. The world must act now to stop this atrocity. #CeasefireNow
