We need to learn to live with Covid and people need to take responsibility for their own health. We canโ€™t respond to every new variant by bringing back illiberal restrictions. This endless cycle needs to end. Thatโ€™s why I wonโ€™t be voting for vaccine passports or Plan B tomorrow

Boris is a proven winner. Heโ€™s delivered Brexit, got us through Covid and is delivering support to tackle the cost of living. Make no mistake, many in the red wall voted specifically for Boris in 2019 - no other Tory leader could reach the parts of the country he has.

Whatever Brexit outcome the new Prime Minister puts forward, we must have another referendum. Remain must be an option and Labour will campaign for remain.

Self ID tramples on womenโ€™s rights by allowing biological men to identify as women at will, and enter womenโ€™s safe spaces such as refuges and prisons. It risks womenโ€™s safety and itโ€™s frightening to think that @UKLabour think this is a legislative priority.

I welcome the plans set out by the Home Secretary. This will send a clear signal that if you come to the UK illegally, you cannot claim asylum here. It is vital that the UK is allowed to enforce its borders and that this new legislation isn't derailed by international courts.
