A stagnating economy, widening inequality, declining living standards for many: the problems the country faces won’t be solved by demonising asylum seekers.

I joined the Labour Party to oppose austerity. I cannot support a bill that could still push 150,000 people into poverty. I will be voting against it tomorrow. DPAC

We do not tax wealth fairly in this country. People need to believe the economy isn't stacked against them to have hope in the future. Rising wealth inequality shatters that hope. It is fundamentally about fairness. The Chancellor must tax wealth properly in the Autumn Budget.

I did not stand to become an MP to push hundreds, if not thousands, of my disabled constituents into poverty. I will not be voting to cut benefits for the most vulnerable. The government should do the right thing and drop the policy.

Why are Reform running advertisements asking Welsh readers to vote in London? Are they incompetent, or do they just not care about Wales?

3.8 million self-employed UK taxpayers were excluded from financial support during Covid, leaving many facing bankruptcy. I asked the Treasury to meet with me and discuss addressing the unfairness faced by so many in the pandemic. ExcludedUK Maternity Action @PregnantScrewed

A major win for farmers in Montgomeryshire in Glyndŵr: the APR threshold will be moved from £1m to £2.5m after pressure from farming unions and backbench MPs. This is absolutely fantastic news for our constituency, for rural Wales, and indeed for farmers up and down the country.

Cutting benefits is a political choice that the government is making. There are alternatives to ever deeper austerity. Properly taxing the wealthiest after decades of widening inequality would be a start.

The government has engineered itself into a state of wilful ignorance. It risks dismantling international humanitarian law to maintain its support for Israel. We are at a hinge moment in history: we can suspend arms exports to Israel, or risk being complicit in genocide.

Reported cuts to benefits are extremely concerning. We absolutely should not be removing benefits that allow disabled people to be independent, get work, and stay in work. Let's try wealth taxes instead.

As a former secondary school teacher across four Welsh border counties, far too many children came into my classrooms hungry. We all deserve a fair start in life. I did not stand for election to see child poverty worsen during this parliament. The two-child cap must go.

Tightening PIP eligibility criteria will pull the rug out from under disabled people across the country. These cuts will hit Wales particularly hard, and they will hit my constituents particularly hard too.

There are 275,000 PIP recipients in Wales, more than 14% of working age people. These cuts will hit us disproportionately hard and vulnerable people will be put at risk. The people of Wales did not vote for more austerity.
