Engaged to the fabulous @palmcrest. love taking photos. After an amazing 30 years living in Ironbridge I’ve moved back north. Can’t live there without John 😢.
@Palmcrest I've just supported Mind by creating a memorial tree in their Everlasting Forest. It's a place where the memories of those we've loved and lost can live forever. Will you join me in this community of special memories https://t.co/O8Wfg77B8d
For Margaret Hodge to be racially abused, she has to tell people she's Jewish.
For Diane Abbott to be racially abused, she just has to exist.
Only an amoral, autocratic, racist prick would suspend Abbott for telling the truth about her lived experience of anti-black racism.
A year ago, Starmer & McSweeney suspended 7 of us for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap & immediately lift 350,000 kids from poverty.
Now they’re punishing MPs who opposed cuts that would push 800,000 disabled people into poverty.
Insecure men. No vision. No compassion.
SEVERE CONDITION CRITERIA
The Green Paper is diminished, but please lobby against the ‘severe condition criteria’—a hugely dangerous and discriminatory change to UC health rules that would drastically increase new claimants’ financial and psychological precarity.

If you're among the 16 million sick or disabled people in the UK, I recommend supporting Jeremy Corbyn's new party.
Because @UKLabour has made it clear that it hates you.
Today, I voted against the government’s disgraceful cuts to disability support.
Moments before, I joined disability rights campaigners outside Parliament to say: this isn’t over.
We will not give up until we have built a society that cares for each other, and cares for all!
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.
Join us. The time is now.
