It's time to raise taxes on harmful gambling machines.
Today, 90 Labour MPs have written to the Chancellor, calling for an increase in Machine Games Duty for harmful high-stakes gambling machines.
Great to see this recognition of the heavy #debt burden on developing countries.
My Debt Relief Bill would compel private creditors to accept the same terms as other lenders and reduce the burden for the poorest countries.
The world needs this now ππ

A new comprehensive pilot exploring how @TfL can deliver cleaning services in-house will begin this week.
Iβve long championed insourcing where possible, and that of course includes our hard working and essential cleaning staff. Iβm pleased that TfL is taking this important step both for customers and for the dedicated cleaning colleagues who help keep London moving.
I want to thank the RMT for their work and invaluable input.

Conference 2026! πΉ
What a fantastic few days in Liverpool meeting charities, chairing great meetings on important issues, and representing Southgate and Wood Green.
Really important and positive announcements from the PM too on his plan for the country ππΌ We will hope again!
Fantastic article by Gareth Malone about the paramount importance of music teachers and music education.
It was a pleasure to welcome him to Cockfosters this summer to see a wonderful performance by Chickenshed. Music education cannot be left behind.

Britain once led the world on global education. Now, we've cut our annual support to GPE by 77%, from Β£86m to just Β£20m.
Denying millions of children their chance to learn isn't just wrong: it's a false economy that damages Britain's interests.
Ministers should reconsider.
Very disappointed to see Enfield undergoing an investigation on this. Corruption like this in public office must be stamped out now.
Housing officers taking advantage of the desperation for adequate housing is devastating. We urgently need more social housing.
Some people who've been stuck for years on housing waiting lists are paying cash to council workers in a frantic bid to speed up their long wait for a home.
Sky's @JasonFarrellSky investigates.
Great to chair a roundtable with @mariecurieuk on ensuring effective implementation of the Modern Service Framework on Palliative & End of Life Care.
We cannot afford to sacrifice high quality #palliativecare.

Over the summer, I have heard from countless constituents concerned about both new oil and gas exploration licenses for #Rosebank and #Jackdaw.
Please read my letter to the Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero calling for a rejection of any new licenses ππΌ
Yesterday, we heard the Prime Minister talk about the real importance of ownership and control. I agree.
Water is too important to be treated simply as another commercial asset.
Delighted to see steps being taken to help young people locate their Child Trust Funds.
Money like this could be life changing for young people across the country, and I will continue to support @sharefoundβs work on this very important issue ππΌ

β³Time is running out to press the Government to support global education by funding @GPforEducation!
πTake our automatic action today and in just two minutes add your voice to those that believe education is a right that must be afforded to all.

Great news that the Govt will review IPP sentences.
Far too many have spent years in prison beyond their original tariff, with others recalled after release for breaches of draconian licence conditions.
We must end #IPP & the psychological distress that comes with it.
Delighted that over 10,000 young Londoners will benefit from half-price rail travel π
This will make a massive difference to young people across the country getting started in life.
Young people should not be priced out of education, employment or training.
That is why Labour is making is transport more affordable for 16 to 18-year-olds.
