It's simple. By continuing to trade with Netanyahu's regime, the UK is complicit in crimes against humanity.

The issue of undiagnosed cardiac conditions in young people aged 35 and under is responsible for up to 16 deaths a week in the UK.
It was good to meet surgeons and people from @cryuk.bsky.social and join in the call for a National Strategy to Prevent Young Sudden Cardiac Deaths.

It's Israel's aim to make Palestinians reliant on Israeli goods by destroying agriculture in the West Bank.
The UK trading with Israel helps Netanyahu colonise and control Palestine and the people.
Economic, trade, military and diplomatic sanctions on Israel are overdue.

I was delighted that my Labour government delivered justice for ex miners on BCSSS. This will give a big pension uplift to people from Alloa & Grangemouth 👍
A special thanks to our constituent Stewart Livingstone who worked with me in representing those people on the scheme ✊

Thanks to Lorraine Joyce and family for campaigning to highlight that so many young people die from undiagnosed heart conditions following her son Aiden's passing.

In the Budget, Labour leadership must tackle the growing inequality that is destroying communities.
People need to see improvements in living standards. That's the change people voted for.

Tillicoultry residents impacted by RAAC have had their lives turned upside down and 2 years down the line the Scottish Government have abandoned them.
Today, once again, I highlighted the residents heartbreaking situation in Housing and Communities Questions in Westminster.

l've kept pushing for the government to do more for our Grangemouth community.
I'm happy that £14.5m for a green industrial transition has been secured alongside the £100m Growth Deal & £200m from the National Wealth Fund.
All of this must lead to jobs.

I've had lots of questions about me getting the whip back and why I wanted it back.
It's because I believe the Labour Party remains the most likely vehicle to deliver the change we desperately crave and the best place for me to effect that change is within the party 🌹
