So proud tonight to have voted to lift the two child benefit cap.

That’s the biggest drop in child poverty in a parliament - ever!

Never let people tell you that a #Labour government doesn’t make a difference or that we’re all the same. We’re not.

The Labour government have today announced an update on additional support for pubs & live music venues in regards to business rates, following lots of discussions with a range of MPs who had been putting forward a case.

It is definitely worth listening to counter the nonsense from the Tories.

Great news that arts venues, museums, libraries and heritage buildings are set to be boosted by major new funding from the government.

Organisations mentioned - from Natural History Museum to the BFI - are cultural powerhouses. It’s vital they’re supported and protected.

What has Labour even done for us since getting into power?

Quite a lot actually and they are just getting going!

Here are a few things (and I lost count)..and it's just a fraction of what they have done!

Let's get behind this Labour government!

They are changing lives for the better!

The Labour government have announced that they are freezing rail fares following a 60% rise over the past 14 years.

This will come as a relief for the thousands of Potters Bar residents who rely on our trainline every day and is another way in which Labour are tackling the cost of living crisis.

On Trans Day of Remembrance we remember those who have been lost due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence.

It is also a day to send our love to our trans brothers and sisters to remind them that the fight for their rights is the same fight for all of us.
