We thank everyone for doing what they can to support the people of Ukraine during this awful and heartbreaking time for them.
We’ve set up a webpage which details some of the local and national ways you can provide support if you want to.

Far right extremist Tommy Robinson says he’s bankrupt and can’t pay the money he owes Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee he libelled.
If we all help @hopenothate raise £50k they can investigate and make him pay up. I’ve chipped in - can you join in too? https://t.co/qNLBqAe3zu
@EmilyP_Smith Def pros & cons. Signif embarrassment for Tories in the ‘bubble’. He’ll (presumably) take Lab whip. Sends message to Red Wall swing voters, they got it wrong in 2019. But,are shallow careerists who don’t really understand w/class issues actually of use to Labour? I say “No!”
Well, @AWMurrison I just wondered if, given the incinerator proposal in Westbury, which you publicly oppose; have you added your name to those of the other MPs calling for a moratorium?
Ultra-fine particulates breach waste incineration filters and attack vital organs & increase Covid risk.Let’s halt waste incineration growth & tax incineration for people & planet https://t.co/owgz5lXcqO
Tbf our MP may have just been preparing to stand to speak, or just finishing speaking. Nonetheless, he & his mates don’t exactly cut an inspiring picture of responsible and wise political leadership here…. Or maybe they have alien invader immunity to human airborne viruses?!
Although I disagreed with the direction of Labour’s managerial travel at the time, there was a certain objective strategic logic to Blairism. I see no such logic now. An excellent synopsis of why…👇
A reminder that just as the third way is economically unsuited to the present moment, so too it is unrepeatable in political terms. https://t.co/2TYz20EGiV
@EmilyP_Smith Without a doubt this is correct! As a DWP worker of many years, I’d seen the erosion of state support in many guises - and look where we are now…
Here's the deleted tweet, It's some of my best work 🤣😆 who knows where the pressure has come from to delete 🤔
But If you like please RT and share. I won't be intimidated for telling the truth. Our Democracy needs honesty to function.

Well done to 11 year old Harry, who took on the challenge of virtually cycling 100k in an incredible time of just over 4 hours!
A huge thank you to Harry for his amazing efforts in supporting children and young people living with epilepsy.

@EmilyP_Smith@johnmcdonnellMP Me too! *two* McDonnells in one Branch!? Change is coming!😀✊ I was holding my breath though - could have been a very depressing result…
I have been thrown out of Parliament for saying what we all know:
Boris Johnson has lied to the House of Commons and the country over and over again.
But I’ve got news for the Tories, I will never stop speaking truth to power!
