A bittersweet goodbye as I say my last words as a Member of Parliament. Meeting so many talented, generous, commited and principle people has been a joy, a pleasure and a privilege, and I'll miss it like mad.

I am really pleased to hear 4 hostages, Noa Argamani, Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan and Andrey Kozlov are now all home with their loved ones. Securing the release of all the other hostages must remain our top priority.

Nothing prepared me for the abruptness of the actual end. The day to day life you are so used to just gone. For both me & my staff. No wonder we all felt emotional. I reflect in my diary for ⁦ @prospect_uk ⁩: Goodbye to all that.

Parliament is dissolving tonight, and as of tomorrow, I will no longer be a Member of Parliament. This means that I sadly won’t be able to respond to any policy questions or assist with casework, unless it’s an emergency.

We should always tell the truth in public office as the first step to restore trust with the electorate. So let’s be clear. @DavidLammy was always & still is a staunch ally in the battle against antisemitism in Labour & wider society. Let’s not sink to mistruths in this election.

With threats rising across the world, Britain needs a clear plan and bold action. Keir Starmer proved today he can’t offer that - setting out his pitch today without a single plan for the future.

It has been the privilege of my life serving as the MP for Barking. Today, I reflect on what it's been like working as a politician for 30 years, and my hopes for the future.

I cannot participate in the Holocaust Memorial Bill's third reading today as I am at a funeral. But as the Holocaust moves from memory to history, this memorial will be vital in enhancing Holocaust education in Britain, ensuring the next generation always remembers what happened

Pleasure to join @josephpowell today in Kensington. We led a walking tour of properties purchased by kleptocrats using secretive trusts & shell companies in the UK. Joe will be an effective MP, leading the fight against dirty money flowing into London’s property market.

Huge thanks to @taxinparliament and @CifasUK for hosting such an interesting and wide-ranging debate in Parliament on fraud, and what we need to do turn the tide on scams. A few years ago you would have struggled to find an audience willing to discuss fraud in Parliament - but

Good to see @AndrewmitchMP calling once again for public registers of beneficial ownership in our tax havens. Transparency is long overdue & the best way to tackle the billions of pounds laundered through the UK each year.

Yet another investigation revealing how the UK's property market is a hub for suspected dirty money, often extracted from authoritarian countries across the world. And, of course, our network of secretive tax havens play their part bringing this illicit wealth into the UK.

In case you missed it: Working with Georgian and Azezrbaijani colleagues, our reporters have found three London mansions — all on one very posh street — owned by the family of Ilham Aliyev's top personal bodyguard. There's much more — read here 👇
