Christmas visit to East of England Ambulance staff

A few days ago, I met with East of England Ambulance staff in Norwich to thank them for the literally life-saving work they do throughout the year. For many of us, Christmas is a relatively restful time – but for the Ambulance Service this can rather be one of the…

I speak at #Stanstead15 protest

While the focus of news is elsewhere at the moment, we must not forget what the #Stansted15 have done by standing up for fundamental human rights. I spoke to a rally outside the Home Office last night in solidarity with these incredibly brave 15, and I believe that it is more important…

My keynote speech at

It was a pleasure to deliver the keynote address at Friday’s BusinessGreen Techonology Awards, and I relished the opportunity to outline in more detail how The Labour Party would deliver a radical shift in Treasury culture to get the UK economy onto a sustainable footing. I was also able to give important…

Comment: the left and Europe

I look at Europe, the rise of global fascism, Trump and the new science on bio-diversity and Climate Change global emergency and I’m filled with horror the left could ever turn its back on Europe. We need to be fighting to change Europe, not walk away from it. You can…

Brexit update

Brexit Update: A number of people have asked, quite legitimately, why Labour isn’t joining the SNP and Lib Dems in calling for a confidence vote in the Govt, given today’s shambolic, cancelled Brexit Withdrawal vote. For anyone watching the Commons today it was clear the Tories are rallying around this…

My comment: People’s Vote march

It’s been made clear to me from a number of emails and social media comments that some constituents are unhappy with the fact I haven’t commented on Facebook as regards the recent People’s Vote March. So let me right that wrong and give you and other constituents some thoughts on…

I host Media Reform Coalition event in parliament

Last week, I hosted an extremely well attended public event in Parliament about BBC Reform with the Media Reform Coalition. Over the last three decades I believe that the BBC’s independence has slowly been diminished, its programme making increasingly commercialised, and its editorial culture increasingly conservative. Speaking alongside Zoe Williams…

Brennan Bank cladding update

Having visited Brennan Bank the week it was announced their cladding had failed post-Grenfell fire safety tests, I know how much concern and anxiety this news caused some residents. The emergency services and housing association did everything they could to offer reassurances and review the necessary safety procedures in light…

Campaigning to ‘Save our Children’s Centres’

Despite the rain, it was great to join local activists and Thorpe Hamlet Labour Party councillors Cavan Stewart and Chris Jones out on the #labourdoorstep over the weekend. We were collecting signatures on the ‘Save our Children’s Centres’ petition; it’s hugely disappointing to hear that the motion to stop the deeply flawed consultation on…

I meet with Young Builder UK finalist Alfie in parliament

It was a pleasure to meet up with Young Builder UK finalist and St-Eds student Alfie in parliament earlier today. Alfie has made some big achievements in the field of building, despite having to overcome a number of challenges and difficult circumstances in his life so far. As well as being a…
