Happy Christmas!🎄

We strongly welcome this boost to the affordable homes programme. This vital injection of funding, which we’ve been urgently calling for, will help support housing associations to continue to deliver much needed social homes in the immediate term & prevent a collapse in delivery

I’m delighted to have been invited to join the Government’s New Towns Taskforce.

The Taskforce will support the Government to deliver the next generation of new towns - such a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to this exciting and important work.

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

It comes as no surprise that the House emptied just hours after the judge announced the publication of the phase 2 report.

It shows how many of those within the political elite are a part of the disregard, indifference and incompetence that contributed to the deaths of our 72.

A good friend has been working to reduce road danger on a particular stretch of road between Callow End and Powick on the edge of the city of Worcester, notably where there is a dip in the road in a 350m section of 60 mph.

Please sign and share.

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS.

I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

I have legitimate concerns about crime in our country, I feel let down by various state failures, like almost all Brits. To conflate this with rioting thugs being violent to police and setting fire to our streets is total misdirection. Don't fall for it.

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right

Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

[Kate Henderson @KateNHF]

Great to be at this meeting. Housing associations want to work in partnership with government to drive growth and deliver the homes the country needs

Thank you @AngelaRayner and @mtpennycook for your commitment to restoring confidence and stability into the social housing sector

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

Those who rioted in Southport & those who encouraged them through lies & bigotry have no interest in the children whose lives were cruelly taken

What we do know about the alleged killer is he is British born to Rwandan parents. Rwanda is 98% Christian
So why attack a mosque?

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

This woman faced down the rioters in Southport last night with a clear message: their racism wasn't welcome. Let her bravery be what is remembered, rather than the shameful scenes of fools embarrassing themselves.
