🚨Early this morning, the Israeli military launched its largest military invasion of the occupied West Bank in decades. The cities of Jenin, Nablus, Tubas, and Tulkarem were targeted and 10 Palestinians have reportedly been killed. All entrances to the north were closed.

Israeli forces obstructed ambulances from treating the injured and threatened to raid hospitals. Attacks on healthcare workers and facilities are violations of international humanitarian law, and healthcare workers and patients must be protected.

'Under existing social security policies, we project that the number of children in relative poverty could reach 4.6 million... by the end of the Parliament.' The government must start to reverse this trend by scrapping the two-child limit.

I visited the aftermath of the #DagenhamFire In advance of the final #Grenfell inquiry report, we expose and challenge the #BuildingSafetyCrisis in fire safety across the country. We demand action on this crisis.

"Attacks on healthcare workers and facilities are violations of international humanitarian law, and healthcare workers and patients must be protected. The UK must take urgent action to prevent Israel’s attacks on healthcare, and to end the impunity that fuels their reoccurrence."

Thank you to Colin and Alex for an amazing visit to the new Everton Bramley Moore stadium: some very happy Blue supporters. The opening of the 2025 season is going to be special indeed!

Proud to represent Liverpool Riverside at the service commemorating those who serve in the Merchant Navy, including those from all nationalities who served in the two World Wars for our country.

This is a very positive move by Bridget Phillipson : a more coherent inspection service should result - but OFSTED needs a thorough review & revision to take away the stress from teachers & improve recruitment and retention National Education Union

I have written to the Chancellor to emphasise the need for the HSF to be safeguarded beyond April 2025. The HSF offers a vital lifeline to families & local authorities – it is critical we support the most vulnerable in the long-term to prevent more people falling into poverty.

With military violence continuing to escalate in the West Bank, I again urged the Government to clarify the immediate actions it is taking to prevent any further suffering in the region. It is vital that the UK shows leadership & upholds our obligations under international law.

Across the country, increasing levels of racism and Islamophobia are having a devastating effect on people’s everyday lives. I raised my concerns about the impact on community cohesion in Liverpool – we must work together to help people feel safe and help our communities thrive.

Powerful event with Joseph Rowntree Foundation & The Trussell Trust last night in Parliament. New data shows that 1.6m people claiming Universal Credit have had to use a food bank in the last 12 months. People should never have to turn to food banks just to survive – we need immediate action now.

Today, we remember the 72 lives lost in the Grenfell Tower fire. Every death in this tragedy was entirely avoidable. Today’s report is damning and shows how previous governments and corporations were complicit in a catalogue of failures and systematic dishonesty.

Today's cuts emphasise the continued failure of previous governments to properly fund the UK's public broadcaster. We need urgent action now to prioritise the funding of the BBC's grassroots news and programming and ensure that the broadcaster remains on sustainable footing.
