When we were in the Shadow Cabinet together, I said to the Prime Minister about Mandelson: "Distance yourself from this fella. Don't touch him with a barge pole. He's toxic." It's not really good enough to blame the process. This is about judgment.

One said, 'I'm just doing an hour before I go to work.' Hundreds turned out at 8am to help clean up Linthorpe Road and streets in central Middlesbrough. After yesterday's violence and destruction, today's community action shows our city at its best.

The govt is asking MPs to vote in a new four-point PIP eligibility criteria this week. Wes Streeting suggests here a DWP PIP assessment review could reconsider that. If this is so, the govt should press pause and not ask MPs to rush through the welfare bill. #TakingThePIP

I said, "People want action" when the UK said, "We are prepared to take further action" for a Gaza ceasefire. As Israel now intends to escalate it's killing, I urge the govt to take action to increase pressure on them to stop. Suspend all arms supplies. Suspend all trade.

In my Urgent Question to the Foreign Office, I said the remarks of the US President, that the US will 'take over the Gaza Strip' and that 1.8 million Palestinians must live in 'other countries', are reckless and dangerous.

While some postmasters can barely make ends meet, the Post Office chief exec was paid of £870k - including a whacking great bonus of £455k. In parliament he tried to justify executives receiving bonuses as a way to "incentivise people to do the right thing". Ridiculous.🧵1/2

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m. On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour. His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour. I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis. The silence was deafening.

Teessiders are being taken for a ride. Public land worth £100 million was sold off for just £100. We need a full investigation now.

We say to the UK, American and Israeli governments: Enough! Enough of the bombardment! Enough of the siege! Enough of the occupation! We won’t rest until we have justice. Until all people, Israelis & Palestinians, between the river & the sea can live in peaceful liberty.

Royal Mail CEO Simon Thompson earns a base salary of £540,000 plus a £140,000 bonus. Yet he's firing and replacing the workforce with people on insecure contracts and 20% less pay, and is bringing in agency staff to break strikes. Utterly shameful.

The Teesworks accounts confirm the shocking truth that 110 acres were sold for just £97 to the company 90%-owned by associates of Ben Houchen. When asked by Liam Byrne MP about the scandal, Michael Gove said he’d not received the panel’s report. They need to check their emails.

The sight of a patient on an IV drip burning to death in the flames of an airstrike on the tents of refugees. This will be the abiding image of this genocide. Today in the Commons, I urged the government to take further action to end Israel's attacks on civilians.

Middlesbrough is an immigrant town, we're just 200 years old. In 1825 there was 25 people, four houses and a farmhouse - that was it. We've been one of the fastest growing towns in European history - everybody in Middlesbrough came from somewhere else.

Don't believe the Tory spin. Ben Houchen has effectively been put into special measures over the Teesworks scandal. In 45 years of politics & public service, I've never read a more damning report about a public body and how it conducts its affairs. The NAO must now investigate.

Today, I stated that Israel's actions in Lebanon amount to war crimes. The Minister accepted my assessment. The govt must set out the steps it will take to ensure the UK does not aid or assist the commissioning of Israel's war crimes.

A tremendous speech by Andy Burnham today. It's a speech I've waited for, for a long time, it gives us that sense of hope and that promise of growth in every postcode. 1/3.

Kim Helberg’s post match interview showed his decency, commitment and total integrity. By contrast, the Southampton manager walks out again when asked if he is a cheat. Remarkable lack of awareness for the club spokesman to respond with “Have some respect”. 1/2.

There are over 200 Israeli settlements, housing 750,000 settlers, in Palestine. The Israeli Cabinet has approved land registration which will dispossess thousands more Palestinians. The govt must impose meaningful sanctions that match the scale of Israel's illegal actions.

The Israeli government has become increasingly extremist, thanks to a lack of international accountability. If we are to end the horrors of the Occupation, then we must stand by international law and ban all goods sourced from illegal Israeli settlements. No ifs, no buts.

Israeli forces have now killed almost 20,000 Palestinians in the past 2 months & many of their political leaders have made statements of genocidal intent. When I asked the UK government if it will sanction those responsible, the Minister disdainfully dismissed my questions. 8/8
