Two years ago, Nigel Farage said the govt shouldn’t step in to help British steelworkers.
As with his calls to privatise the NHS and his sucking up to Putin over Ukraine, he can’t escape his record.
Labour WILL step in and stand up for British jobs today - and defend the national interest.

The Israeli government's latest plan to seize large areas of Gaza is an act of aggression that will do nothing to help release the hostages - and will inflict yet more suffering on the Palestinian people.
We must oppose annexation, release hostages and secure delivery of aid into Gaza.

A welcome and clear statement from the Prime Minister at PMQs today on Israeli military action in Gaza.
With over 400 Palestinians killed in the last two days alone and aid completely shut off, we desperately need a resumption of the ceasefire. It is the only way forward.

Tonight I voted for a bill that significantly improves child protection. Don't believe the misinformation and lies spread online. Lies spread by those who see the appalling abuse of children as a political game - rather than unite cross-party to root it out.

As winter bites, the Middle East needs more than ever an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with hostages out and aid in.
Today I raised in the Commons the appalling attacks on hospitals that breach international humanitarian law.

Rochdale’s name has been used and abused by outsiders who treat child rape as a political game - rather than an appalling crime that needs urgent action.
