After 13 years of this government, our politics has increasingly been dragged into disrepute by cronyism, scandals and - as always happens with a Tory government - by sleaze. Good write up of my first Business Questions yesterday. 👇🏻

I will never forget the horror of the Grenfell Fire. My thoughts are with the families and all those affected. We are still to learn all its lessons, enact change and to ensure accountability. Many still living in high rise buildings live with the consequences too. We remember

Today, on the seventh anniversary of the appalling Grenfell Tower Fire, we stop and remember the 72 people who lost their lives and those whose lives were changed forever. We owe it to every single one of them to ensure that nothing like it ever happens again. I will continue to

Our plans to modernise Parliament are about high standards, better legislation and more effective democracy. Our very British way of doing things - pomp, ceremony and all - are special, and staying.

Worth remembering as a barrister Sir Keir wanted to get rid of wigs and gowns. Expect a far less special Parliament after his commission. No more late night sittings. No more Victorian white tie for doorkeepers. T shirts in the Commons.

I hot-footed from the manifesto launch across to Darlington to support the fabulous @Lola__McEvoy . She’s from Darlington and will be a breath of fresh air for the town. She took me to the legendary Yarm Road Fish & Chip Shop. (I really must resist … 🤦🏻‍♀️) Delicious 🍟

Labour has six fully funded, fully costed first steps to change Britain and grow our economy. All the Tories have is unfunded gimmicks. #BattleForNo10

Rishi Sunak claims we have turned a corner, but the economy has stalled and there is no growth.    The Conservatives have failed.   It’s time for change.

Thank you @LucyMPowell for all your support. @PostOffice should halt all closures until an incoming Labour Government can review the Post Office's failed business model, that sees major Crown Post Offices closed in town centres. @CWUnews @JimMcNicholls @jreynoldsMP

By appeasing their anti-housebuilding backbenchers, the Tories torpedoed housing supply. ❌Planning consents at a record low. ❌The lowest recorded starts for over 40 yrs. ❌Average delivery estimated to fall to 160k. Labour will turn the page and build 1.5 million new homes.
