Half of all migrant children currently live in poverty - an already shameful statistic. But the Earned Settlement model will see that poverty prolonged for 90,000 children in working migrant families. That's why my community says the Government must think again.

We've had a difficult 10 years, but Britain hasn't become ungovernable. We are fundamentally the same people we were a decade ago; we want to be able to look after each other, to earn enough, for our children to do better than us, to be safe, to be secure, and to have some hope.

In 2023 I announced a Labour government would reform outdated cohabitation laws to grant equal rights to unmarried couples. Seeing that promised in our 2024 manifesto remains one of my proudest moments as Shadow AG. I’m delighted to see the government finally taking action!

The Labour Party is the coalition of the left – we are strongest when we unite and remember that. The public have given us a chance to deliver generational change: to grow the economy, make Britain fairer and more equal, and ensure we can hold our heads high in the world.

There's a difference between tackling the genuine issue of a broken asylum system, and the demonising of all immigrants. So let's not forget what I told Karan and Jane this morning on LBC: here in Islington, in London, and across the UK, it's our diversity that makes us great.

The idea that the Greens are the party of housing is nonsense. Since 2018, they've opposed the building of 658 social homes in Islington. Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide is committed to building more housing, and to continuing our ambitious buy back scheme.

This week I've discussed future of the Gulf & Lebanon with Ambassadors from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain. I also met the Lebanese Ambassador. We agreed: - Hezbollah must be disarmed - There must be a ceasefire in Lebanon - Israel's security depends on a functioning Lebanese state

The case for seizing Russian state assets in European bank accounts. I was speaking in Parliament Sq at Ukraine Solidarity Campaign 🇺🇦✊🏽🚩's protest. We must seize the hundreds of billions frozen across Europe, to help defend and rebuild Ukraine. It's vital, it's legal and it's the right thing to do.

It was great to visit Jean's Café and hear about their success thanks to Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide funding - reducing food waste & providing a way for isolated residents to socialise. Islington Labour is making it happen. A vote for Labour is a vote for a greener economy. #OnYourSide

Thank you to Merthyr Tydfil & Aberdare for the honour of inviting me to give the Keir Hardie Memorial Lecture. Whether it's on foreign policy, immigration, or economics, we're at our best when we stick to our Labour values. We don't need to be more like the Greens or Reform.
