So do the SNP support moving standing charges into the unit price - or not?

In July I did this interview about the difference between Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham on Palestine and Israel. Such a relief that today we draw a line and move forwards with meaningful action in support of international law, a two state solution and what is right.

“The hospital resembles a slaughterhouse and the majority of casualties who are coming in are children.” I spoke to Times Radio for Medical Aid for Palestinians about the deteriorating situation in #Gaza. The world must act to stop this.

Today at #PMQs I raised the 32 dodgy UK ‘charities’ who’ve sent almost £30m to illegal Israeli settlements. Constituents will be appalled that they, the taxpayer, have likely subsidised this by over £5m. Why is Charity Commission asleep at the wheel when their job is to stop this?

The expansion of Israeli settlements is designed to wipe Palestinian villages off the map, as I said in Parliament. Enough hesitation - it’s past time for: ➡️ fresh sanctions ➡️ ban on trade with Israeli settlements ➡️ ban on British charities funnelling money to settlements

Pooling and sharing resources across the UK means higher spending for Scotland's public services 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 As I told STV, today's Scottish Government GERS figures show almost £3000 more is spent per person in Scotland than the UK average - funding schools, hospitals, transport and more

Summer's over. Parliament is back. Andy Burnham is bringing back hope and bringing a new approach to politics.

Yesterday I nominated Andy Burnham to be Leader of the Labour Party and our next Prime Minister. This morning I told Sky News why I was proud to do so 👇

Yesterday in the Budget debate, Andrew Griffith said he was going to “educate Labour” about economic stability. I pointed out the irony of this coming from the party of Liz Truss - and he literally didn’t know what to say…

Labour MPs have been motivated to act this week by the need to stop Reform destroying our country. As Wes Streeting has said Andy Burnham must be allowed to stand in Makerfield. I’ll be campaigning for him. I spoke to Cathy Newman on Sky News about the way ahead for Labour

Today in Parliament I spoke against the #AssistedDyingBill. This is a deeply flawed Bill, and the truth is that in seeking to give choice to some, it risks causing new harm to a much larger, vulnerable group of our citizens.

While the SNP are squabbling amongst themselves about independence, they are failing to address the problems in our NHS. This leaves too many people waiting in pain for treatment - as I told BBC #PoliticsLive

It is not possible to give the choice that a small number seek about the end of their life without putting a much larger vulnerable group in harm’s way. RCPsych in Scotland & many others agree. That’s why I hope MSP colleagues will reject this dangerous assisted dying bill tomorrow.
