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.

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?

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.

Who could argue with the comparison with modern day slavery.
Take a few minutes to watch this clip.👇
Thank you Cllr Conor Galbraith for making Newry, Mourne and Down a

They now join Belfast and Derry in continuing to fight to ensure that access to food is a human right for all and to continue to work to…
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

@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.
🙏 Now the dust has settled on results of last week's

"Privatisation was a mistake that has increased pollution, cost taxpayers, rewarded overpaid bosses and enriched foreign governments and hedge funds based in tax-free havens."
Spot on. Bring Thames Water into public hands:
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.
