The Tories say that all parties want to tackle child poverty.
Sadly, it's not true. Only Labour have taken action.
We'll drive the largest reduction of child poverty within a single Parliament.
Deeds, not words.

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

I was so proud to sit with colleagues on this Bill Committee. It was an extremely collegiate affair with the opposition doing a good job of probing (with only a few lapses into petty politics!)
Proud to be on this Bill Committee for the Hillsborough Law.
Especially proud to be with my colleagues
@ianbyrnemp.bsky.social & Maria Eagle MP, who have worked on this for years.
I fully support the areas to be strengthened & will work with families, NowHillsborough & MPs.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
