This morning I laid a wreath of red and white poppies at Bristol’s #RemembranceSunday service. Every November, I choose to wear both a red and a white poppy: red to help those who have been affected by war, and white to work for peace.

Tesla have approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk. That's 20 billion times more than a nurse in the UK earns.
Don't let anyone tell you immigrants or disabled people are the problem. It's the richest 1% hoarding all the wealth.
Time to tax the super-rich properly.

The burning question I wanted to ask at PMQs today: why is the govt considering slashing funding to home insulation programmes as a short-term, short-sighted way to lower energy bills? Why not do the smart thing instead, and tax billionaires fairly?

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.
The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯
How embarrassing for the UK.

Powerful questioning from my colleague @elliechowns.bsky.social, pinning the government on exactly what it needs to do - NOW - to bring about an end to the atrocities being committed in Sudan.
In the midst of horrific mass killings and violence, British-made military equipment has been found in Sudan.
It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.

Protest is fundamental to our democracy - we rightly celebrate people like Nelson Mandela who changed the world through protest
But this govt is clamping down on our protest rights with increasingly authoritarian laws
Thanks @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social for making this point so powerfully

Hugely concerning that govt is considering slashing funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills in the short term. It’s vital to protect the Warm Homes Plan for long term investment to fix poor housing. Why not use a wealth tax to cut energy bills instead, Rachel?

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

Last week I met @breastcancernow.bsky.social in parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Shocked to learn the NHS does not collect detailed data on people with incurable breast cancer. Without that data how can they assess what treatments and support work best? I'll be writing to Minister about this

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?

Our SEND system is broken and it's failing children and their families. They deserve better - their voices must be heard by government.
Today I joined the #EveryPairTellsAStory demo in Bristol. Each pair of shoes represents a child who has been failed by the SEND system.

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat
The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes
Govt's plan is delusional

Solidarity with my colleague Mothin, who experiences frequent and appalling racist abuse.
Out and out racism is alive and well in this country. And its perpetrators are emboldened every day that politicians and journalists describe immigrants as an invasion, a swarm, or a flood.

A memorable night ruined by a racist thug.
I was invited to speak at the EuroAsia Curry Awards on Monday night, it should have been an exciting opportunity. But on my way there, outside Earl’s Court station, I was subjected to an Islamophobic hate crime. I have now reported it to the police

More and more people are saying it: the Home Office is not fit for purpose and should be broken up, so migration can be dealt with by a department designed to make the system actually work for all of us.

How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? 🤔
