There are now more than 222 missing children - an utter failure of Home Office child protection by consecutive Home Secs.

And the Director of Asylum has quit.

Home Office is in meltdown.

The Tories are in office but not in charge.

#GeneralElectionNOW

The Conservative Party is a divided, deluded, disastrous and dangerous rabble - a sort of mash-up of the whacky races, musical chairs and pass the parcel, and it is certainly not fit to govern our country. #GeneralElectionN0W

What scheme?! The Airline has finally realised that all we have is a press release and a bill from Rwanda for £140m!

Labour would switch spending to a new elite unit in the National Crime Agency to tackle criminal smuggler gangs.

56 years ago today was the horrific disaster in Aberfan. Today we remember the 116 children and 28 adults who tragically lost their lives in this heartbreaking disaster in Aberfan.

The Tories are trashing our democracy and our international standing, and it has to stop. How on earth can the very same people who put the Truss catastrophe into Downing St be allowed to pick her successor??? A General Election and a Labour govt is the only way out of this mess.

As Chair of APPG on the Shared Prosperity Fund, it was great to speak to the Welsh CPG on Industrial Communities alongside Vaughan Gething.

I talked about importance of ensuring UK Govt keeps promises on replacing all EU development funding & not short-changing our communities.

This utter chaos shows that the Conservatives are no longer fit to govern.

It is time for a general election, so we can elect a Labour government that will put the country first, with Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.

'Why should the country have to put up with this for a single extra day?'

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper says 'borders, security, policing are too important for this kind of instability'

Utter chaos. The Tory Government is falling apart at the seams.

My response to the departure of the Home Secretary.

My Q to Govt revealed ANOTHER £20m was paid to Rwanda despite not a single asylum seeker being flown there.

Govt has NO respect for taxpayer money. Nor is it deterring Channel crossings.

Must switch spend to National Crime Agency to target smuggler gangs dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

You can’t trust the Tories with the economy.

Britain can lead the world in green steelmaking...

But only if the UK Govt recognises the industry's vital role in our security, our resilience, and delivering good jobs to level up Britain.

It's time for a Govt-industry partnership.

Today the Chancellor’s go-to soundbite was “Compassionate Conservatism”, so I asked whether he thinks it's morally justifiable to scrap the cap on bankers’ bonuses whilst refusing to increase welfare benefits in line with inflation?

The trickle-down experiment is far from over.

The First Minister had just described the scale of the damage the Tories have caused. The crisis made in Downing Street means our budget is already worth £4bn less. That’s before the threat of a new wave of austerity.

This anger is shared by MSs and clearly felt by the public.

Govt’s Rwanda Plan is not only unworkable and unethical, it’s also a massive waste of money. In response to my written question the Home Office has revealed it has blown another £20 million, on top of the £120m that has already been squandered. Madness 🤷‍♂️ thetimes.co.uk/article/britai…

Floating Offshore Wind is a cutting edge technology that could be a game changer for Port Talbot.

But if Port Talbot is to become the hub for this revolutionary form of renewable energy we need UK government investment.

We must grasp this opportunity with both hands.

12 years of the Tories has left our economic security in tatters.

Now British households are paying the price.

Labour would launch GB energy, a new publicly-owned, renewable power company to secure our energy supply and lower your bills for good.
