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.

The International community agrees, the West Bank and Gaza is the land of the Palestinian state. Israel's far right govt must be stopped from stealing it. And Britain's duty is to play a full part in blocking this outrage. We must stop all trade & investment in the settlements

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In 2023 I announced a Labour government would reform outdated cohabitation laws to grant equal rights to unmarried couples.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!

Really good to hear Andy Burnham say we must do better when it comes to the Middle East, especially his call to take stronger action on banning trade with the West Bank. As I set out to the Minister this week, it is becoming increasingly inexcusable we haven't done so already.

It's been almost a week since the ICJ ruling on Gaza, and the government has still not said whether it accepts the court's authority and orders, and whether it will urge Israel to do the same. I asked the Attorney General again today for that assurance, but sadly did not get it.

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.

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.
