EXCLUSIVE: Will EXPOSES Dawn Butler caught hiring members of the public to say nice things to her.

🚨It's almost time! I'm excited to be presenting my Ten Minute Rule Bill this afternoon to protect the job title 'nurse'. #ProtectNurse Stay tuned on Parliament Live TV, following the two Urgent Questions, hopefully around 2pm. #ProtectNurse Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse @caspertown42

This is an excellent speech from Margaret Hodge this is a bad bad bill. we should be legislating to protect our Jewish communities. This bill is poorly written and uses Jewish people as a political football. This bill would have prevented boycott &amp; ending apartheid in SA

Big news for families everywhere! Thanks to The Labour Party, free breakfast clubs are rolling out to 1,400 more schools across the country, including 196 here in London and FOUR in Brent East. We're making sure every child gets a fair start

London’s got something for everyone this weekend. Wander through a Market, visit a local mosque, experiment with compost-powered computers or see Blackfriars transformed after dark. And the best bit? It’s all FREE.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has admitted the introduction of mandatory Voter ID was a deliberate attempt to manipulate electoral outcomes in favour of the Tories. This means ministers lied about their intentions! So, should I report this to the Standards Commissioner - or to the police?👇🏾

To everyone who attended in spirit and online, we hold PROFESSOR Jason Arday and his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. Now is the time to unite in PROFESSOR Arday's memory ❤️

🚨WE WON! After years of campaigning, the Govt is set to scrap ‘Aim to Permit’ - giving councils and local communities power to say NO to new gambling venues. We delivered for London and all UK. Thank you Andy Burnham &amp; to all who backed my campaign. Please share the news! 🥰

When London puts up signs saying "A New Dawn"... what else was I supposed to do? 😂🌅 We headed to Victoria to see the new installation, meet some amazing people and have a bit of fun along the way. Which theme is your favourite?

🍟 The Chip Shop Challenge is BACK!🍟 I’m on the hunt for London’s best chips. Drop your favourite spots below and I’ll try them all (eventually). And yes… I know people say I put too much vinegar on. Have I finally taken it too far this time? 👀

🚨 URGENT 🚨 🎶We’ve got 21 days before they’ve got to go🎶😎 Vote for The Labour Party. Vote for me as your MP for Brent East on Thursday 4th July. #Dawn4BrentEast

With this Government you have to follow the money. I asked the Govt which firms were contracted to supply schools with temporary accommodation. They failed to give me the information. Now we find out a Tory donor's firm was given a £11.5 million contract.😯 My Point of Order👇🏾

Guess how many betting shops I found on the high street in Hampstead? You won't find a single one. Lower-income areas don’t get that luxury, they’re flooded with them. It’s time to end ‘Aim to Permit’ and give communities a real say.

I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today. I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.

Hey @rupertlowe10 White supremacy in action? Discuss

Kemi Badenoch says it is "British values" to attack Muslims for praying in public. This is disgraceful and offensive. So I called it out in Parliament. The Tories are still the nasty party. Kemi Badenoch must apologise immediately.

On Trans Day of Visibility, it’s worth remembering that too many of the loudest voices on trans issues still don’t understand even the most basic realities of trans people’s lives. That’s why visibility and solidarity matter so much 🏳️‍⚧️

I gave the Deputy Prime Minister, Oliver Dowden, another chance to correct the record on his false claim. Once again, he failed to do so. He is disrespecting House of Commons Speaker, UK House of Commons &amp; the country. According to the ministerial code, the Deputy PM should now resign!

In the General Election debate, Nigel Farage MP tried to paint Labour as doom and gloom. So I challenged him - £22 billion financial black hole after 14 years of Tory austerity and cuts. That's nothing to smile about. The Labour Party will get the economy growing again.

I took Will bag to Brent to see whether London really is “broken.” We've got some bad news for anyone trying to make a living by telling people to hate their neighbours.

Notting Hill Carnival was born out of struggle, resistance and the determination to highlight injustice. At the unveiling of a new plaque honouring 70 Carnival pioneers, I paid tribute to all those whose shoulders I stand on. Long live Carnival! 🎉

🚨NEW: I'm so proud and excited to officially launch the Parliamentary Black Caucus.🙌🏾 A cross-party gathering of Black and minoritised Members of Parliament &amp; Peers dedicated to advancing racial equality, equity, justice &amp; representation for all. 1/5

Structural discrimination is a form of institutional discrimination against individuals which restricts their opportunities. It may be intentional or unintentional. As we reclaim narratives this #BlackHistoryMonth we must be intentional in our desire to change said structures.
