I thought this was an AI mock up because no man would be so monumentally idiotic, insensitive and intrusive as to punish women for not having children…but then it is Reform.

Reform are not on yourside.

Reform not care about women’s safety.

Reform only see us as baby making machines.

Slow hand clap for all the conspiracy theorists.

Measles - a once eradicated disease that killed 95,000 people in 2024 - is back in the UK.

If you’d do anything to protect yours and other children, the best think you can do is to get them vaccinated.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor should answer to the police and Parliament.

There is absolutely no justification for him to avoid scrutiny in the UK.

“It’s clear he didn’t run this grotesque idea past any women in real life.”

It is deeply offensive to blame or penalise women for not having children, it’s even more painful for those like me who have suffered the pain of miscarriage after miscarriage.

Farage's lies about people not speaking English factchecked here.

NB Farage also claimed that "four million speak barely passable English" - this too is a lie.

Powerful men who abused or benefited from the abuse of women and girls need to be held to account.

I asked today for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be held accountable to police & Parliament over reports he handed sensitive information to Epstein & accomplices, among other serious allegations.

No 10 are absolutely right about Jim Ratcliffe’s comments. He is wrong on many counts.

Ratcliffe is Britain’s seventh-richest man, who moved to tax-free Monaco in 2020, and yet can’t see the irony of his own awfulness at slating the poorest in society and immigrants.
Downing Street weighing in on Jim Ratcliffe's comments about immigration. A Number 10 spokesperson said “Jim Ratcliffe should immediately apologise. His offensive remarks are wrong and play into the hands of those who want to divide our country.”

The Tories left our schools to RAAC and ruin. Labour has a long-term plan to rebuild our crumbling school estate for the next generation.

Fit for the future, inclusive by design, settings where every child can achieve and thrive.

Jimmy Lai has spent more than 1800 days in solitary confinement.

He’s a 78 year old man with multiple health problems.

This is an appalling abuse of human rights and Lai should be released by the Hong Kong authorities. He and his loved ones deserve an end to this cruel ordeal.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

My thoughts are with the victims, families and all affected by the appalling attack in Islamabad today.

The UK stands with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and in support of all communities affected by such senseless violence.

To those who doubt the need for the @commonswec.parliament.uk’s inquiry into the abuse of Muslim women & girls, which followed summer’s of hateful riots across the UK - look at the vile abuse recieved after recently visiting a brilliant local school.

This abuse is aimed at school children.

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM.

There are sadly thousands of women across the UK who have suffered from FGM - but it is by nature a crime often hidden by shame and stigma. (1/2)

It’s great to join the many fantastic volunteers in Gorton today, including this gorgeous lot!

Can’t wait for our Labour candidate, Angeliki Stogia, to build on her brilliant track record of change by becoming the next MP for Gorton and Denton. 🌹

If only this is was the headline and the focus. If only.

Would add to this list of rights becoming law, bereavement leave entitlement for all workers who experience miscarriage and all forms of pregnancy loss.
Some big changes to workers' rights coming very soon, following the Employment Rights Act becoming law

Amidst the noise, we must never forget the voices of the women and children who were trafficked and assaulted for years by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful accomplices.

Mandelson should never have been pushed for the role of US ambassador, he and other hugely powerful men must be held to account.

Not really thinking of this as preventing “further embarrassment,” more like one step closer to justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the true extent of the monstrosities he enabled.

It was lovely to be out this weekend in Challney alongside our great team of volunteers, listening to residents and take up the issues they care about.

Everything from fly tipping to fireworks to ideas about Labour’s Pride in Place funding for Luton will be taken up. 🌹
