The Labour Party should govern by real Labour Party values.

The leadership must appreciate this and change course.

It is a stain on this country that there are still people living in flammable cladded buildings like Grenfell.

And as well as the victims & families, the firefighters of @fbunational.bsky.social that now suffer from diseases because of their heroic efforts at Grenfell, deserve answers too.

Tony Benn and Mick McGahey were giants of the labour and Anti-Nuclear weapons movements.

They knew that building weapons of mass destruction is immoral, dangerous and no way to improve the lives of ordinary people.

We don't need more bombs or killing @scottishcnd.bsky.social

The Labour Party way is to lift people out of poverty. Lift the 2 Child Cap now.

It's simple. The Budget has to tax the multimillionaires and billionaires and invest in the public services we need.

Breast cancer touches lives in every community.

By wearing pink today, we stand in solidarity with everyone affected. We need more research funding to improve early detection to make sure that no one faces this disease alone.

Last weekend I marched with Keep Grangemouth Working and @unitetheunion.bsky.social as Scotland Demands Better.

Workers need jobs, communities need investment. The £200 million promise from the PM is 8 months old and not a penny has been spent yet.

Get a move on Prime Minister.

Any nationalist using somewhere else's poverty & hardship as justification for this abject SNP government show themselves up as not being the socialists they want everyone to think they are.

Cause real socialists want improved living standards for everyone & everywhere 👇

It was a pleasure to mention the fantastic Forefront Stage School and Dylan Wood in Parliament today!

Dylan’s journey from the Wee County to the London West End is an inspiration to all young people from Alloa & Grangemouth that dream of making it big in the creative arts!

Scottish Devolution debate in Parliament this week and the nationalists don’t like to hear it but the truth is the SNP government have taken power off Councils and stopped local communities having a say in how to improve their neighbourhoods and facilities.

That’s Thatcherism in action.

It's an honour being the MP for ex mining communities and it was great to bump into some constituents at the Durham Miners Gala in the summer.

I'll be wearing the Miners Tartan Tie with pride in the House of Commons Chamber today! ✊

Here's why the tartan is ⚫️⚪️🔴🔵👇

This weekend thousands of people will march to say Scotland Demands Better.

I’ll always raise the issue of food insecurity and work with the Government and @trusselluk.bsky.social @trussellscot.bsky.social to end it.

See you at the @povertyalliance.org march on Saturday ✊

Unlike the SNP, I have always been against mandatory digital ID.

The SNP want you to forget that they spent £7 million on a digital passport that breached data privacy laws by giving your data away.

The SNP hypocrisy on digital ID is staggering, but not surprising.

Sending my support to the Turners Q8 workforce involved in their pay dispute.

The cost of living crisis is raging on and to be offered a measly 1% increase when Turners made £53 million last year is an insult to the workers.

Solidarity ✊ @unitetheunion.bsky.social

There is an extreme hooligan element of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans that consistently behave in this manner 👇
