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/…

I have tabled this motion on the Winter Fuel payment and I am asking other MPs to show their support 👇🏼

A simple message from RMT seafarers on #MerchantNavyDay as members employed by #RFA supporting the #RoyalNavy take strike action against in ports around the UK and around the world.

All aboard! Today we will take a significant step towards public ownership of our railways as our Rail Public Ownership Bill becomes the first major piece of legislation of this Government to reach the final Commons stages 🚂

On #MerchantNavyDay, we fly the #RedEnsign to appreciate the importance of our #MerchantNavy seafarers, & the part they play in both our economy & in keeping our #RoyalNavy supported via the #RoyalFleetAuxiliary. Get involved 👉 bit.ly/MNDay

Having been inundated by messages from constituents terrified at losing their Winter Fuel Allowance, I have signed Neil Duncan-Jordan MP EDM which calls on Govt to undertake full impact assessments & give full consideration to those just over the Pension Credit entitlement threshold.

I spoke to BBC at the weekend about how the building safety crisis is a national scandal.

🚨 Grenfell Inquiry report 🚨 - "Complacent" govt "well aware" of risk of cladding disaster but failed to act - "Systematic dishonesty" by product manufacturers "very significant reason" for fire - "Chronic and systemic" fire safety failures by tower's social landlords

#BreakingNews The Grenfell Tower fire was “the culmination of decades of failure” by central government and the construction industry to properly consider the danger of combustible materials in high-rise residential buildings, the final report into the 2017 disaster has concluded

A truly damning report by the Grenfell Tower inquiry makes clear that the disaster was a result of “decades of failure” by government to end the use of combustible cladding and the “systematic dishonesty” of corporate interests. Justice must now follow truth.

The dark heart of this catastrophe lies in this simple, depressing narrative: the state stepped back, corporate greed stepped in and innocent people died. Bit by me for The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Successive governments have disregarded fire safety. That came in the form of failing to properly regulate and cuts to fire services. Today’s report has shown that construction companies have endangered lives and government has failed to protect residents.

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…

This is the kind of football fan that I can get behind, raising funds for much needed support for households struggling to make ends meet. Our team loyalties may differ, but we can and should remind ourselves that hunger doesn’t wear club colours. ❤️✊🏾FANS SUPPORTING FOODBANKS #RightToFood lan Byrne MP
