I’ve a significant Caribbean diaspora who’ve made Gorton & Denton their home and I know many are concerned for friends & family after the terrible damage and deaths caused by Hurricane Melissa. I’m proud that UK Aid is ready to be distributed to Jamaica.

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.

Everyone deserves to live in a decent home with security & certainty. I know from my constituency cases that, for far too many, the current system doesn’t offer them this.

It is a great read! The whole series was just fabulous
Preparing for a panel discussion next Saturday at the Cromwell Association day in London by re-reading this novel I wrote over 10 years ago, I'm thinking, 'Where on earth was I going with that?' and having rising anxiety about the amount of things I was going to have to tie up by the end.

Delicious smackdown of Tory MP by our @pimlicat.bsky.social.

"It's fantasy economics to suggest anything other than leaving the single market has detrimentally impacted our economy... It is finally the political discourse catching up with economic reality."

Trade unionist, activist, pioneer. Frank Bailey spent his life fighting against injustice.

As London’s first black firefighter he paved a path for all who followed & right up until he died he carried on encouraging young black firefighters.

At his funeral 80 firefighters formed a guard of honour.
