I voted against the UC and PIP Bill this evening.
I welcome tonight's concessions and want to see the positive elements of the bill implemented but there was simply too much uncertainty and too little notice.
This is not how decisions impacting vulnerable people should be made.

I worked a lot of minimum wage jobs in my youth. When I started working in 1998, the introduction of the National Minimum Wage by the last Labour government made a big difference to my life.
People deserve honest pay for honest work.

Excellent to meet with my own MS Ken Skates in his capacity as Welsh Transport Minister, along with both other Welsh Labour MPs and English MPs bordering Wales, to discuss rail infrastructure. I raised making Ruabon compliant with the Equality Act 2010 and a station for Carno.

Today is #WorldBookDay. As a former teacher it is heartbreaking that today, only a third of children say they read for fun. It is the single biggest indicator of future success.

International law is perfectly clear, the UK's export of arms to Israel is helping them maintain their illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
The partial suspension of arms licenses must go further. We need a total ban on arms exports to Israel.
