I already knew there was a hierarchy of racism in the @UKLabour Party, because I felt it.
I want to see change. We must implement the Forde recommendations urgently as a start. https://t.co/gemLpVuO9g
Whether or not the Rwanda policy is legal, it is a vile, immoral, inhumane policy.
And as Tony Benn said: "The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it."
The pandemic has been tough on our children. But it’s not inevitable that it holds them back: it’s a Tory choice to deprioritise children’s futures. Labour's #ChildrensRecoveryPlan would deliver new opportunities for every child & today we've secured a debate to push Govt to act.
Liverpool fans were unfairly demonised in Paris. We cannot allow police authorities to return to the dark days of treating football fans like criminals.
I urged the Govt to make sure that this is relayed to every country ahead of any matches taking place abroad.
The new ministerial code is a disgrace. It means that the tiny semblance of accountability disappears. If you break the rules just rewrite the rule book is the motto of this despicable government.
'Did you lie at the despatch box, prime minister?'
Our deputy political editor @SamCoatesSky has been outside Downing Street asking the prime minister and his cabinet about partygate

▪️British Petroleum
▪️Water
▪️Electricity
▪️British Rail
▪️Royal Mail
▪️British Telecom
Energy bills are set to rise by another £800 to £2,800 from October.
In France, bills rose by just 4%. Here they will have more than doubled in just a year.
France has public ownership of energy - we need that too.
Thanks to @alexsobel and @CarolineLucas for speaking about the importance of ensuring that #COP15 delivers transformational change for our natural world at @EnvironmentAPPG's reception today.
I was also very glad to meet Lord Redesdale and restate my support for @ceebill_now.
Whatever the Minister says, Right to Buy is a busted flush.
Flogging off precious social housing isn't the answer to a housing crisis.
It's time to end Right to Buy and start building genuinely affordable social homes on a scale that this country so badly needs.
Take part in a survey into use of green spaces in the Liverpool City Region.
The survey is to find how people use their local green spaces, the wider countryside & the coast for recreation. It will help Councils manage these places in future.
Start here:

Sadly the Lib Dems held Oxton, but our Sue Mahoney @Sue4Labour increased Labour's vote to 619, well up from the result at the by-election in November.
