At the flag raising ceremony today for 80th commemoration of D Day. Especially poignant for me remembering my brave uncle who I have the honour of being named after Sgt Vernon Coaker 23 killed 6th June 1944. One of the many heroes who protected our freedoms. Lest we forget.
"This brilliant documentary is a timely reminder of the heroic bravery and resolve of ordinary Ukrainians in the face of war."

Proud to be the co-chair of the civility commission & help launch #JoCoxCommission call to action in Parliament today. Abuse has no place in politics. Such a huge amount of support, now we must campaign for the recommendations.
The report is out now ⬇️

This isn't just good leaflet copy, this is why politics matters and different parties aren't all "just the same".
Here's a collection of similarly devastating graphs

▶️A huge thank you to U3A Carlton, Gedling and District for inviting me to speak at your meeting today about the House of Lords and for awarding me a lifetime's membership award. It was a honour to be there today & to receive the award 👍👏
Just this week we were told that our two kids aged 5 and 3 have been taken off the NHS register at our surgery. Government sits on its hands and does nothing
Listening to people in tears on Radio 5 talking about removing their own teeth with pliers because they are in agony and can’t get an NHS dentist appointment and many unable to afford private dentistry. Local authorities need to be putting pressure on the Government for action!
The Tories crashed the economy and their mortgage premium is going to be devastating for millions of people.
After 13 years, we must turn the page on this era of Tory economic failure.
The Tories have ditched the new laws they’d promised to crack down on illegal puppy farms and animal smuggling.
It’s another broken Tory promise.
Together, we can put pressure on the Tories to stop illegal puppy farming.
Add your name today.

A year ago the Observer revealed that:
“many school buildings in England are now in such disrepair they are a risk to life”
But which?
Over a year later, the government still won’t tell us.

Today Labour brought a motion to Parliament requiring the govt to come clean on England's crumbling school buldings.
It’s simple.
Labour wants parents, staff, and children to know which school buildings are a risk.
And the Conservatives won’t tell them.
Every day, raw sewage is being dumped into our rivers and seas, turning British waterways into an open sewer.
And what does the Tory Environment Secretary think about that?
An OFSTED report on the provision for Special Educational Needs @NottsCC has today been published and it highlights widespread, systemic failings, particularly by those in leadership roles in regard to SEND provision. Here is my statement as Shadow Cabinet Member 👇
“Young families denied the security of their own homes… need affordable houses in the places they want to live. Only Labour, it appears, is thinking seriously about building them” - @thetimes
