I am deeply troubled about pensioner poverty this winter. Y day I met with Wakefield Council leaders and am delighted they will provide warm community rooms for all on cold days. They are also campaigning to ensure every pensioner in our area gets their full benefits

[Hemsworth Labour Party @Hemsworth_CLP]

Well said and gone @jon_trickett

My comment on the winter fuel payment vote 👇

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Let me be clear. I would have voted for a complete ceasefire now.
Parliament scenes were shameful
My heart is with the dead innocents and my feelings are for the tens of thousands in our country who have demanded peace
And end to the slaughter.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

We need a #CEASEFIRE_NOW

[Hemsworth Labour Party @Hemsworth_CLP]

Absolutely!

The wealth of Britain’s billionaires has risen from £53.9 billion in 1990 to more than £653 billion in 2022.

Our economy has been designed to funnel wealth to the super-rich.

It’s time we taxed this wealth.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

I am waiting for the votes to start in Commons in order vote for the ceasefire

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

I have let the authorities know that I will vote for a ceasefire.
There was never any doubt.
A pause simply would legitimise a return to the slaughter of innocents.
We need ceasefire, & immediate diplomacy to defuse the situation, release hostages, and move to 2 state solution.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

People gave their lives at Peterloo 204 years ago in a movement for political and constitutional reform at a time when economic and social conditions were no longer tolerable.

It's lesson for our times too.

I have long thought we need a democratic revolution.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

They are destroying the NHS. Largest waiting lists ever.

It’s deliberate
It’s ideological
It’s about replacing socialised medicine with an American-style privatised health system

[George Osborne @George_Osborne]

If you’d told me 10 years ago I’d team up with @edballs I’d never have believed you. But life is full of great surprises. This autumn my frenemy and I will bring you a podcast that will explain how political decisions are really made and explore the big economic questions we face

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Many miners from my area vividly recall the police attack at @orgreavejustice
Thatcher attacked them because they had built a mighty fighting union. And so began the assault on working communities�� pay & conditions everywhere
We remember

Never forget and never forgive.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

In England, there are 1.4 million fewer households in social housing than there were in 1980.

The shortage of decent and secure accommodation is at the root of why bad landlords are empowered to exploit their tenants.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Did you know that 69% of voters support public ownership of water and only 19% of voters are opposed?

[Labour Muslim Network @LabourMuslims]

It is extremely disappointing to see Labour MP @peterkyle calling Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf “Muhammad” on Sky News.

We hope this can be corrected urgently on the public record and an apology issued.

[Hemsworth Labour Party @Hemsworth_CLP]

Happy International Women's Day ✊
