The Tories have left behind a huge crisis in SEND education. Hundreds of thousands of children are suffering as a result and their families are often left totally desperate. I've secured a debate in Parliament next week on the SEND crisis. Let me know your experiences below.

This book is one of the most important reads you could undertake this year. “How state violence has devastated the lives of disabled people – Labour Hub” labourhub.org.uk/2024/08/31/how…

Several policy experts & organisations representing pensioners are offering advice on proposals that would protect older people this winter & dig Labour out of the political hole it has dug for itself on the Winter Fuel Allowance. My advice: just take it. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Pleased to join my constituents on PCS Union picket line at Heathrow this morning. The appalling way these Border Force professionals have been treated by their management has provoked this dispute & is causing hardship to these dedicated staff & undermining the service

I gave this warning back in January. After what we have seen in the riots in our own country this summer & in the elections in Germany yesterday it seems more relevant now than ever. I fear any return to austerity could be the spark that lights this fire. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

A significant step forward & congratulations to all who have campaigned for an end to arms sales to Israel. However this is a first step & we now need to to examine the detail of the remaining licenses to bring about a total end to arms sales to a country committing war crimes.

I’ve signed this Early Day Motion because very reasonably it calls upon the government to postpone withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Allowance until it has come up with a strategy to tackle fuel poverty & low income amongst pensioners. A common sense approach that should be adopted.

In 2018 budget debate I said. “We have a record number of children coming into care. Why are they coming into care? Because there has been a 40% cut in funding to councils for early intervention to support families.” The government rejected my appeal for the resources we needed.

On a side note, I remember the backlash and the howls of outrage this generated at the time when John McDonnell said this. The Inquiry report shows we was right news.sky.com/story/john-mcd…

In 2017 I said Grenfell was social murder & was attacked by politicians from all sides & the media. Today’s report tragically confirms how right I was but more importantly demands immediate action to secure justice & to protect people at risk. theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/j…

Article sums up what I &, I believe, many Labour MPs are feeling about Winter Fuel Allowance. Unless there’s a serious change by Tuesday’s vote, I will be forced to vote against whilst threat of whip withdrawal will lead to others dissenting by abstaining. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Matt Wrack, general secretary of ⁦Fire Brigades Union⁩ spot on when he says the Government must ensure lessons are learned across the country from Grenfell and that means ending the fragmentation of the fire and rescue service. veed.io/view/baa71bbe-… veed.io/view/baa71bbe-…

Then this makes two former Labour Shadow Chancellors calling for a rethink by the government of its proposal to means test and effectively cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Great to attend the Asian Women’s Centre Health Advice & Promotion Day with my colleague Cllr Kuldeep Lackmana at Hayes Community Centre. Over the last 35 years the group has worked hard & successfully to provide support to women across our community.
