My Bill banning MPs from having Second Jobs has not only been drafted but has been laid in the House of Commons.
The Government could choose to pass it and implement it in a matter of days.
Instead the Tories repeatedly blocked it. We can see why!
Dear RAC @TheRAC_UK can you please tell me what is happening in North Bristol? Broken suspension waiting to be taken to a garage 10 hours and still waiting!
Utter bewilderment at the Tory led council in Plymouth for perpetrating this wanton environmental vandalism. Hang your heads in shame. Tories out in May local elections!!!
On strike today: teachers, university staff, junior doctors, civil servants, tube staff. We want to be paid fairly to do the jobs we turn up every day for. Solidarity to all 💕 #TeacherStrike#juniordoctors#tubestrike
