The Tories crashed the economy.

In January, Reform said Labour was pushing us into recession.

With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

Given the appalling conditions we know they are being held in, it’s imperative that humanitarian access reaches the hostages and that Britain makes every effort with international partners to secure their release.

A tale of two great cities!

These plans would be transformational for the North West. Backing this all the way - let’s get the North the transport it deserves.

Looking forward to hearing more about the vision of this project in Parliament later today🚆

Last week, I welcomed Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell to the Wirral, where we discussed your experiences of antisocial behaviour (ASB).

I took Emily to Grove Park where residents have been in touch with me about the impact ASB here has on them.

Pleased to sign my colleagues letter urging the Financial Conduct Authority to crack down on the practice of insurance firms charging excessive interest rates to customers paying monthly.

We need to put an end to rip-off prices and deliver savings on insurance costs for our constituents.

The current plans to cut PIP are completely unacceptable, which is why I was among the 42 Labour MPs to sign the letter opposing the reforms to benefits as they stand.

My piece to the @bigissue.com on why I cannot support the government’s proposals to cut benefits ⬇️
"We cannot allow Treasury orthodoxy to dictate policy at the expense of our constituents"

@paulabarkermp.bsky.social , one of 42 Labour MPs to break ranks with Keir Starmer over £7bn of benefits cuts, writes for @bigissue.com on why she won't support the changes

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Those standing in the way of a clean energy future are undermining the security of this country.

This week is #BlackMaternalHealthAwarenessWeek.

Our 2024 manifesto promised an explicit target to end the scandal of Black & Asian maternal deaths.

Black women are still 3x more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth. We need immediate action to close the gap.

At this critical juncture for the Middle East, I welcome the Government's strong commitment to building a peaceful future.

On the road to achieving that peace, we have to see the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas.
