Labour MP for Poole 🐬🌹 For casework & enquiries, please email [email protected]

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

The right sold out entire industries and left communities to rot.

They replaced real production and decent jobs with an economy based on speculation and service alone.

Now they sneer at the consequences.

The answer isn't to strip away welfare but rebuild jobs and communities.

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Frankly jaw dropping the number of constituencies where welfare spend exceeds income tax and NI raise.

Real devolution would halt the extreme extent of current fiscal transfer away from the productive bits of the country.

Funny how our leading devo maxxers never address this.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Time to fix PIP!

We spend so much time fighting cuts, we forget the system already doesn’t work for disabled people.

I joined the @mssocietyuk to present their petition to Government.

Labour can build a system that enables those who can to work and lets all live with dignity.

Ministers have listened and introduced a big exception for care workers on "Earned Settlement".

But what’s unfair and un-British for one set of workers is unfair for others too.

People just days away from applying for settlement are now in limbo.

Our campaign continues.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Your value to our society isn't determined by your paycheck.

I welcome some of the improvements announced to the Earned Settlement proposals.

We must not penalise workers for earning too little - that would run directly against our Labour values.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Poole has one of the biggest gaps between wages and rents.

Our whole town loses out when families spend so much on a roof over their heads they can't spend on the high street.

We need:
⬆️ Uprate Local Housing Allowance
🏠 Rent controls
🏗️ Build affordable and council homes

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Lots of good in Labour’s "Breathing Space Budget".

Action on energy & food costs, support for local business and affordable homes.

But you can't box clever forever.

We need to take back control of life’s basics: water, energy, housing. Public need not corporate greed.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

We should support people who can work into employment.

You don't do that by cutting the already meagre support disabled people rely on to live.

Restricting eligibility doesn't mean less people will be disabled, just that more will be in poverty.

That's not the Labour way.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

I joined the Make Polluters Pay campaign outside Parliament.

It’s simple really.

Oil and gas giants have made billions hurtling us toward climate catastrophe.

They should pay their fair share to fund the green transition.

Fox Hunt Allegedly Caught in the Act!

Disturbing footage appears to show a hunt inciting hounds to rip apart a fox they’d just killed.

You’d be forgiven for forgetting fox hunting is illegal!

I'm urging Ministers to adopt my oven-ready Bill to stop hunting for good.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

We can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care & we can’t fix social care without a workforce.

The social care crisis piles pressure onto the NHS and leaves people without support.

A National Care Service is the solution. We can’t build one by targeting migrant care workers.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

I signed this important letter opposing new oil and gas licences.

Today’s Jackdaw decision expands costly, insecure energy and boosts fossil fuel profits.

It won't bring down household bills.

The Government must think again before Rosebank.

Don’t repeat the same mistake.

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

I wrote to the Government with cross-party MPs last night opposing this decision.

Rosebank and Jackdaw won’t cut bills they'll just boost profits of fossil fuel giants.

If every country pursues its own deluded self interest the costs of climate breakdown will be unbearable.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

The days of strong workplace pensions are long past, so today’s young workers will rely on the State Pension far more than previous generations.

It might feel a long way off, but we all grow old one day and removing the Triple Lock will harm future pensioners most of all.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Why Young People Should Support the Triple Lock on Pensions

I know young people are angry at the raw deal our country has given them.

Low wages and high rents make getting a start in life feel harder than ever.

Scrapping the Triple Lock on Pensions is not the solution.

Tech Bros Can’t Decide Our Future

Growth can't just mean swelling Big Tech profits.

Real progress means higher living standards in harmony with our environment.

Technology is only as good as its owner. Democratic control is key to ensuring innovation serves people & planet.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

I’ve tabled a Parliamentary Motion supporting the Triple Lock.

1.9m pensioners live in poverty.

A full pension under £13k is NOT a generous reward for a lifetime of work.

Means-testing fails and leaves hundreds of thousands without support.

Back the Triple Lock! 👇

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

The state pension reduction will be small at first, but over time its value will erode.

Today’s young workers will have worse occupational pensions than prior generations

They will need a strong state pension most but lose out the most from this plan.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

We don't ask parents alone to pay for education or the sick to pay for their own healthcare.

We pool costs as a society and we should do the same for a National Care Service.

Asking pensioners to fund care by eroding the State Pension over time isn't fair.

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

Andy Burnham is right to focus on social care.

People with dementia shouldn't be left to fund support alone.

Fixing care means applying NHS principles: a universal, publicly owned system that is free at the point of use.

[Labour Outlook @LabourOutlook]

“Everyone knows you can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care, and you can’t fix social care unless you drop the government’s current plans on Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and settled status.”
