Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Today at PMQs I raised the absurd presumption of parental involvement set out in law which means domestic abusers can use child custody battles to continue abuse of their victims.
I have seen in constituency casework that children and victims are being put at risk by this absurd rule.

It all started when Tesla workers tried to unionise in 2017.
Musk fiercely pushed back against the effort to unionise, and won.
Today, Tesla is the only un-unionized auto manufacturer in the US.

Recently, the UAW brought federal labour charges against him over his anti union comments.
The ITUC singled out Tesla as one of six companies “that benefit… by continuing to violate trade union and human rights.”
