Every year since 2013, the Tories have cut Nottingham City Council’s funding by an average of £100 million. Last week it had to issue a section 114 notice after overspending by £23 million on essential services like social care. I asked Michael Gove to do the maths.

Every child should be able to get a warm, nutritious meal at school. Well done to @SadiqKhan for making free school meals for all a reality across London. This excellent policy needs to be rolled out nationally.

Delivering free school meals is one of my proudest achievements as Mayor. No child should go hungry - yet the Tory Mayoral candidate wants to scrap this transformative policy. A vote for Labour is a vote to protect free school meals - and make them permanent.

Every school in Nottingham East has less funding in real terms than in 2010/11. Tory cuts mean growing class sizes, crumbling buildings and pupils with SEND missing out on support. Instead of whipping up culture wars, the government must invest in children’s futures.

If you want to see the ableism that this government has unleashed with its cruel policies and trivialising of mental illness, just read the replies to this post. Acceptance has come a long way, but we have much further to go. Don’t let the Tories turn back the clock.

As someone with a PTSD diagnosis, I know how debilitating mental health conditions can be. The DWP Secretary says the benefits system shouldn't be paying people to deal with the “ordinary difficulties of life”. If he thinks that's not trivialising mental illness, what is it?

#InternationalWorkersDay emerged out of the struggle for an 8-hour day. So many of the rights we enjoy, from weekends to health and safety, we owe to the labour movement. #MayDay reminds us of the power workers have when they’re united. Join a union today and get organised ✊🏽

I once again asked the government to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The Armed Forces Minister refused. History won’t look kindly on the UK’s complicity in Netanyahu’s war crimes. We must stop arming the IDF, and demand a ceasefire now and an end to the occupation.

How many more community notes do you need, @RishiSunak ? With all tax changes included, the average worker only saves £340. If you earn under £26,000 a year, you’ll be worse off. With sky-high bills, record rents and real wages lower than in 2008, there's not much to brag about.

Payday is here. Our second National Insurance cut hits payslips today. Taken together, they’re worth £900 to someone earning the UK average salary.

This week, a new report was launched by campaign groups on the Bibby Stockholm barge. Shocking testimonies from people living & working there described the inhumane “prison-like conditions.” Campaigners are demanding that any new Government not renew its contract. 1/
