What an amazing picture of Newcastle today.

About 10 racists outnumbered by this many Geordies.

Sorry couldn't be there.

There is an antiracist majority in the UK

It's time to call out these comments. When I started my career, the BBC called a programme I went on, about debt crisis "Hey Big Spender" - I objected. The biggest cause of debt crisis was change of circumstance.

Since we've had a pandemic, cost of living crisis, mental health crisis. People lose jobs, lose partners, lose legs. People get cancer, have mental health breakdowns, get disabilities that stop them working.

The idea that everyone can have enough saved to bring up a child when they have a child (ie £100,000s) is ludicrous. The idea that we should live in a society where there is no underlying support for people who need it, is dystopian.

While there will be a few who desire to be on benefits. I suspect its very much the minority. A huge chunk of those getting Universal Credit are IN WORK. A majority of those getting child benefit are IN WORK.

This was about a late payment for money many rely on. Show some bloody compassion!

I’m very sorry to learn that Bob Kerslake has died.

Bob was a talented public servant, utmost professional, and a good man.

He was rightly respected across Westminster for his experience and wisdom, and I’m grateful for his recent contributions to the Labour Party. Sincere condolences to his family.

[Danny Beales MP @DannyBeales]

Only 20 days to go until election day in Uxbridge and South Ruislip!

Every conversation we have on the doorstep and every leaflet delivered takes us one step closer to a Labour victory.

Join me and the team this weekend and help turn Uxbridge and South Ruislip red. 👇

A smart move!

We’ve teamed up with @SmartEnergyGB & @EFL to help households within the communities we support understand how smart meters could help them better manage their energy bills.
