Today I led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs’ second jobs.
Nigel Farage didn’t show up to defend any of his - including the latest one, raking in £22,500 an hour to promote a gold dealer.
The gravy train must end. Watch the debate below.
BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs.
Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election
Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs.
Let's end this racket!
Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
The Prime Minister says his government has got "the big political decisions right". Let's go through them.
The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war.
The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled.
The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap.
The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls.
The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide.
The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran.
The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS.
The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures.
Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government's big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.
In the UK, there are:
2.4 million men aged 65 to 67
5.5 million women aged 60 to 67
These people would all have been getting the Old Age Pension if the retirement age had not been increased. THIS is why more people of working age are claiming sickness & #disability#benefits.
@Channel4News This misses the point. There was an immunity gap for Men B, which is why the Kent students became ill. All over the country there are students of the same age who not immunised for Men B.
PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.
You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻♂️
He promised an affordable city with free buses & a rent freeze - they attacked him.
He fought for wealth taxes - they attacked him.
He stood with Palestine - they attacked him.
And he just won a huge victory on that platform. Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani!
Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani!
You ignited a grassroots campaign, built on the radical idea that everyone deserves to live in dignity.
This is a seismic victory — not only for the people of New York, but for all those who believe that humanity & hope can prevail.
Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.
But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.
*Disgusting
There is always money for war, never for the poor.
Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.
We are not going to take it anymore.
Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.
We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.
This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.
Just madness:
100+ anti genocide pensioners arrested for protesting outside Labour conference.
Starmer 🇬🇧 is selling arms to 🇮🇱 and flying RAF spy missions.
While arresting pensioners.
