We are putting forward a bold alternative to the Tories' broken status quo, which would enable people to live freer, happier and healthier lives. Our Chair, Tessa Milligan, paints a snapshot of our position paper ahead of its publication next week👇https://t.co/cWpmuxhyjI
Yesterday at #PMQs I called on the Prime Minister to introduce an emergency budget to act on
Rising Food Prices
Rising Energy Costs
Rising Housing Costs
His response was to quote meaningless unemployment figures considering inwork poverty is at record levels
#EmergencyBudget
The NHS is desperately short of doctors so we should be doing everything we can to attract future doctors, not deter them.
Student doctors need a #LiveableNHSBursary
Solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Russia's ongoing assault is an unjustifiable act of aggression.
The international community must do everything in our power to bring this unprovoked invasion to an end.
#StandWithUkraine
Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is devastating news.
My thoughts this morning are with the people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian community in Nottingham.
Our government must implement tougher sanctions, end Russian money laundering in the UK and open the door to refugees.
At the @UN General Assembly Hall I called for the adoption of a Fifth Freedom to add to the Four Freedoms of FDR which underpin the UN Declaration. A freedom from climate extinction
We must redouble our efforts domestically, internationally to get a comprehensive deal at #COP27
📣Neither Moscow nor Washington 📣
@NadiaWhittomeMP condemns Russian state aggression against Ukraine at a protest outside Russia Today’s London offices.
For democracy, internationalism and labour movement solidarity. ✊
Today at #PMQs I raised my constituent’s concerns about her energy bills going through the roof and the general dismay at the despicable behaviour of the Prime Minister.
The PMs only plan to help on energy is to lend you your money - we need a real plan for the cost of living.
Tonight @UKHouseofLords votes on Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs).
@pritipatel's SVROs will increase discriminatory acts and would be hugely damaging.
Glasgow (former UK knife crime capital) successfully used a public health approach to tackle the problem.
Vote "No"!
The support for the #UCUstrike at Leeds incredible.
I was there today to show my support and that its not just 1 fight but 4 fights with 1 voice
EQUALITY
JOB SECURITY
FAIR WORKLOADS
FAIR PAY
These 4 fights apply to every workplace. Thank you @ucu#OneOfUsAllOfUs
This is an incredibly serious allegation of racist abuse from a Member of the House of Lords that should be investigated as soon as possible.
All parliamentarians should be held to the highest of standards.

"If Labour is to win, it needs an active, engaged and involved membership - attempts at uncoupling members from leaders is not a recipe for success in 2021 and beyond."
Our co-Chairs speak against using an electoral college for Labour leader elections👇https://t.co/PAeICabfNK
All votes should count the same, whether you’re a Labour member or an MP. That’s why I support OMOV.
Let’s not return to the old college system this Labour Party conference, but focus on addressing the challenges people are facing.
As a former @UKLabour NEC member, I know how important Party members are.
A move to an electoral college would clearly be a backwards step.
I back One Member, One Vote.
