A must read from @Alison_McGovern on why low ambition from the Conservatives is harming individual potential and our economy … and @UKLabour’s plans to put this right.

The ‘Williamson effect’ has struck again in GCSEs.
The gap in achievement between…
▪️State and private schools.
▪️Those on free school meals and others.
▪️Girls and boys.
…have all INCREASED.
This was not inevitable: Gavin Williamson should have supported schools better.
Amazing how quick @BorisJohnson is to investigate Cameron.
None for @RobertJenrick who shovelled £40m of your money into a Tory donor’s pocket.
An investigation found @pritipatel *had* broken the rules but he brushed it aside without consequence.

The Government’s National Tutoring Programme and ‘catch-up premium’ is failing to provide the support that pupils desperately need after a year of massive disruption to their education.
A thread about how and why... 1/

Popped along to @stonehambake to see how this amazing business is doing in these difficult times.
I remember when baking was done at home, so the sight of people queuing down the street is amazing!
The best bread, the best of business too 🍞🙌

Yesterday in the House, I confronted Liz Truss with her own Department’s report on the question she’s repeatedly refused to answer: what’s the difference, in pounds and pence, between her Japan deal and the EU-Japan deal it replaces? She didn’t look happy.
To see @BorisJohnson victim-blame care home workers breaks my heart.
Some gave their lives by continuing to serve residents despite the PPE and testing he promised not arriving.
16,000+ dead and he blames the people who cared for them? Shocking even by his standards
Hosting @IanMurrayMP in Hove & Portslade tonight was fun from start to finish.
Ian oozes Labour values and does so with humour and humility.
He cares about what we represent as a party but also how operate as a party.
He’s the deputy leader we need and I’m voting for
It’s an important discussion to have but I resoectfully disagree with @SKinnock on this for two reasons.
1. We got Brexit seriously wrong before ‘People’s Vote’ was started
2. *The* biggest mistake came later
Let me explain ����
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to our community for choosing me as your voice in parliament.
I know its not a blank cheque: you want me to fight the things that can harm us, put our values into action and deliver change in The Labour Party.
I promise you I'll do my best
Peter Kyle @peterkyle, who is standing for Labour in #Hove at the general election, shares some lessons about the politics of education ... https://t.co/XZjt1yWlQS
Awards day at Hove’s Coptic Church, tonnes of very excited children seeing their hard work rewarded 🥇
Our Coptic community here is the largest in the country, perhaps Europe. We’re proud of that and I was honoured to spend the afternoon celebrating their youngsters success 🙌
Massive thanks to all the volunteers who turn up day after day, making this a campaign that’s firmly rooted in our community.
Today we were joined by @DMiliband who’s energy and insight warmed us up despite the cold and put a spring in all our steps - thanks David 🙏
After meeting women born in the ‘50s and hearing the impact of state pension changes on their lives I immediately wrote to every local woman affected and set up the local #WASPI group.
At this election, as I always do, I pledge them my support: I’m always here for you
