Reform UK say our country is being invaded and colonised. Their hatred and division stand in direct opposition to British values.
It was a pleasure to join Enfield Labour at their fundraiser tonight.
On May 7th, the choice is clear: a Labour Party that unites communities, or Reform UK.
Lovely evening Lewisham East CLP meeting to talk about the work of the NEC, my role as Chair of Equalities and the party’s investment in campaign technology.
Always nice to be back in @janetdaby.bsky.social’s patch, where I helped on her campaign 8 years ago.
Christmas Day Parkrun @ Clapham Common 🥶
Merry Christmas 🌲
We pledged in our manifesto to bring the injustice of ‘fleecehold’ and unfair maintenance costs to an end.
Today, we’re setting out proposals to ensure homeowners on freehold housing estates get a fair deal 👇🏻
questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...
• Renters’ Rights Bill to end no-fault evictions
• Second NPPF revision putting housing need first
• New Towns Taskforce report published
• New Homes Accelerators unlocking thousands of homes
• £39bn Social & Affordable Housing Programme, biggest boost in a generation
It’s fair to say parts of government have been slower than we’d like on delivery.
But on housing and planning, even the most cynical would struggle to deny the scale of progress:
• Planning & Infrastructure Bill to unblock growth 🧵
🌹New protections against unfair dismissal for pregnant women and new mothers
🌹Right to claim unfair dismissal after six months
🌹New right to unpaid bereavement leave, including pregnancy loss
A good day to be a worker in Britain!

🌹New Fair Work Agency to enforce workers’ rights
🌹Ban of fire and rehire
🌹End to zero-hour contracts, with workers gaining guaranteed hours, pay for last-minute shift cancellations and reasonable notice of shifts
🌹Stronger Statutory Sick Pay
🌹Day-one right to paternity leave & unpaid parental leave
The Employment Rights Bill has now passed the Houses of Parliament - the largest transformation of workers' rights in a generation.
Change promised and change delivered: 🧵
I am in tears
The Employment Rights Bill has passed the Lords and goes for Royal Assent this week
Sick pay for everyone
No more zero hours contracts
No more trade union act 2016 years
So much more
Doing what you sent a Labour government here to do
Proud to stand with the @jewishlabour.bsky.social at their Chanukah celebration. As we reflect on the Festival of Light, our thoughts are with those affected by the hateful events in Sydney. In the face of antisemitism, we reaffirm our commitment to solidarity, hope and light over darkness.
